Hurricane Michael Relief
Last week, the remnants of Hurricane Michael tore quickly through the Outer Banks, an unexpected, overnight fury of wind and flooding. After all of our community’s wise preparations for Florence, the ferocity of fast-moving Michael took most of us by surprise.
While many Outer Banks neighborhoods escaped relatively unscathed, many of our friends were badly flooded. In Colington, Manteo, Wanchese, Kitty Hawk Village, and sound side Kill Devil Hills, wind-driven floodwater wrecked cars and reached new heights in ground-level abodes.

Angling for a Cause
Fishing is fun. It’s a combination of skills and a shared outdoor pursuit in a unique, mesmerizing environment. It’s the electric jolt that comes with every hook-up and the satisfaction of conquering a worthy adversary after a spirited battle. It is a universal sport that knows no age limitations or gender bias.
Moonlighting
A last minute decision to compete in the 29th annual Alice Kelly Memorial Ladies Only Billfish Tournament paid off for Off Duty, a 80 Viking run by Capt. Mike Everly. The all-female angler team released two white marlin, a sailfish and finally a blue marlin at 2:37 Sunday afternoon to add an extra 50 points, earning the Top Boat honors for the tournament.
