Like you guys said - The area needs more waterfront "establishments", but I see them as coming soon and coming fast....

welcome to nc. well in 5 or 6. i met a couple last weekend wanting to build a reatuarant across the river with docking for 10 to 20 boats. the location is a little distant but a fun run. makes a good destination point by boat.

We purchased a home on Chocowinity bay 2yrs ago and love it down there....I have thought about trying to put together something like an Ocracoke Island run as an event....it really is a fantastic area for boating

Keep us posted if you decide to organize a poker run/ fun run. I have a house on Currituck Sound, but also happy to come down outside from Va. Beach for a run. Always wanted to check it out anyway.
