The Outer Banks


We are still on the Alligator River, due to rough water ahead. Wednesday, May 18th, my birthday, we were stuck on the boat without any transportation, and it rained all day. In the evening, the marina opened their little restaurant, and we had a nice dinner with three other boating couples.



Thursday, May 19, we managed to get a ride into Manteo so we could rent a car for a couple of days. We looked around in Manteo on Roanoke Island.


Manteo has a cute waterfront area with many shops and restaurants.



Then we went to Nags Head.

It was too cold and windy to walk on the beach!

These are huge sand dunes at Jockeys Ridge State Park, people hang glide off of them, and there is a school there.


We saw some interesting road signs, apparently there are bears here.







A new day.

Some of the boaters here have more tolerance for waves and wind than we do. There was a mass exodus one morning.



More bad weather rolled in on Saturday.

We are hopeful that the weather will be favorable on Sunday to head for Coinjock, NC.
