The Outer Banks of N.C.

Pulled into Pirate's Cove Marina in Manteo, NC right on time (1630). Sally was there to meet us. After tieing up the boat, we went to the beach house on Nag's Head she was renting. This is your typical old (1920's) house with wrap around porch and wood storm shutters. Wooden floors that creak but indoor plumbing. Sally was staying there with her friends Lex, Mary and Roxanne.

We planned on spending two days enjoying the Outer Banks. However, an approaching weather systems 'forced' us to stay an extra day. Drove down to Cape Hatteras and saw the lighthouse (from a distance). Photo: Sally and John

The Outer Banks of Duck, Nag's Head and Kill Devil Hills have done a magnificent job of managing the growth and building on the beach. There are no high rise buildings and very few motels. The large houses are all reminicent of the Delaware and Jersey shore in the 50's.
