Ocracoke/Morehead city
has anyone ever boated down that way? Thought it would be cool to trailer down to Hatteras Village and head over to Ocracoke or maybe down to Morehead. I've been to Ocracoke, cool liitle village, never been to Morehead. My uncle lives in Oriental, NC. I could head down that way and shoot over from there also. Only problem is my uncle is a die hard sailor and a major tree hugger so that may not be the best idea.
has anyone done this? |
I've done it a couple times. Towed my 28' Checkmate down and rode the ferry across to Ocrakoke. First year we stayed in the hotel right as you come into town. The lady that owned the hotel has a house with pier in the sound. Kept the boat at her dock all week. We had a blast. There used to be a great sandbar just south of the island. Could pull the boats up on the beach and be protected from the ocean. Totally gone from a hurricane last trip. Second time we rented a house on a canal with a dock. Great place to visit.

i've never taken a boat there , but been to OBX many times and my only advice would be to watch the weather , bad storms can and will pop up quickly. |
Matt , are you comin out this weekend

I have a rental house on Ocracoke, been going there since I was a kid.
We took my buddies 28' Formula down last Memorial Day for seven days. The wind blew from the north all week and we could never get a decent day to boat to Hatteras. The sound was kicking up pretty good when we got a few miles out. We did have fun going to Portsmith Island and hanging on islands that occasionally form on the southern tip. Did a little fishing here and there and had a blast. He kept it at The Anchorage Inn Marina. The rates weren't that bad for the week and included use of the pool. |

not tryin to hi-jack this thread :evilb: |
Yeah, that's the problem down there. Depending on wind direction and speed, it can be a real mess. Although it's some nice boating around there. I've even boated to the sound side of Wanchese and Manteo for lunch and took a beating going back when the wind shifted. I was only in a 23' boat at the time though. Albamarle can get rough!

Joby. Thanks for the invite. CP and I will be in touch with you and now that we know about these web sights I'll keep a watch on the poker runs and my time home from Calif. Take care everyone and safe boating. LUKE [email protected] |
I boat in Little Washington sometimes.... I usually stay around the New River in Jacksonville or out on the ICC between Wilmington and Emerald Isle.... But, do occasionally head to the Roanoke River/Western Albemarle Sound or Cashie River.

Hatteras to Chesapeake Bay for us but finished Toy so open to about 200 mile pulls. Work two weeks on then 5 days off. Lots of mini vacations . :D

Seen your post and just found this forum. Have a 31TE that I completely did a custom job on from electronics to 3000 watt stereo and was hoping to find a crowd that enjoyed just hanging out. From Wilmington NC area and we use to have the best time at Carolina Beach. Know motors, gas and diesel , racing, blown and turbo and got interested in looking for a hp boat but I can't find anyone that can even spell the thing in the area so we decided to custom the Fountain cc.
Live on the little river at Nixonton NC .Bought the point about 8 years ago. Custom towing rig ready with full slide out camper on the back for when we are on our adventures, so e mail me when you guys in Washington are having a get together and GF and I would really enjoy the trip. [email protected] Would also enjoy the South VA area but again we don't know anyone up there yet. LUKE & CYNTHIA |
