2002 – Corolla, NC

• Frank sets us up with an Outer Banks encore, we are further North on the island – between Duck and Corolla

• A pool at the house with a short walk to the beach.  Doesn’t every vacation home have a pool with it?   I don’t remember

• What do you mean you need to get to the bridge before noon on Saturday?  What traffic?

• Day trips to the Wright Brother’s Memorial, the Corolla Light house and the Lost Colony ship and museum in Manteo

• Mark went sea kayaking with Geneva in among the reeds and islands south of Kitty Hawk.   His strongest memory of this is an admonition not to slap the sea snakes with your paddle.   They tend to wrap around the blade, then when you raise your paddle again, … slide down the shaft into the tight confines of the kayak.    He hasn’t slapped a sea snake since.
