Exploring the end of the island…
My mom and I walked down to the very southern end of the island today. We left from the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum and walked about 2.5 miles on the beach to the southernmost tip of Hatteras Island, where Hatteras Inlet cuts through to the Pamlico Sound. Today was one of those days where… Continue reading Exploring the end of the island…
One Year Anniversary of Island Life
One year ago today I moved from suburban Atlanta back to my hometown, Hatteras Island, North Carolina. I lived in Atlanta for 14 years and, although I loved my job and my friends there, I was never really happy. There was always a nagging sense of missing out, of being on the outside looking in… Continue reading One Year Anniversary of Island Life
Summer is waning…
Summer is coming to a close. The days are getting shorter, and the temperatures are cooling off, which I admit is a welcome development. I’m tired of sweating through my shirt by 8 a.m. every morning. We are still going to the beach every weekend, and surfing and paddle boarding, but we know that those… Continue reading Summer is waning…
Just some beautiful riding pictures…
This summer has been busy and I’ve not been able to ride as much as I’d like. Between kayak tours and my regular job, I’ve been working a lot! I’ve also been letting a couple of my daughter’s friends come over and ride as well. They’re homeschooled, and great kids. I have gotten a couple… Continue reading Just some beautiful riding pictures…
Summertime on the sandbar…
Summer is in full swing here on the island. The tourists are out in full force. Houses are rented, Food Lion (the only chain grocery store on the island) is a madhouse, and the beach is packed. Those pictures I posted this winter of miles of empty beach are no more. There are trucks parked… Continue reading Summertime on the sandbar…
December Kayaking Adventure
When it’s 70 degrees in mid December and you live on an island, you go kayaking! My son and I got the kayak out for a quick trip in the Pamlico Sound this weekend. We have some friends with a soundfront house and they are kind enough to let us use their dock. It’s just… Continue reading December Kayaking Adventure
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am especially thankful this Thanksgiving. We’ve been in our new home on Hatteras Island for almost 2 months. When I was trying to talk my husband into making this move, there was an unspoken fear inside of me that I would go through all the hassle and expense of moving, uprooting my life and… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
Visiting the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum
The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is nestled between the ocean on one side and the ferry dock on the other at the southern end of Hatteras Island. I wanted to take my kids since we live here now. I grew up in Hatteras, and I’m very proud of the fascinating history of the Outer… Continue reading Visiting the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum
Paddleboarding Hatteras
On Saturday morning my brother and I did an early morning paddle in the sound from my house to his house, about 3 miles. We could hear the surf pounding in the ocean, but the sound was slick calm and glassy. Even at the end of October, the temperature was in the 70’s and it… Continue reading Paddleboarding Hatteras
