Wow, I envy you guys , as this is one of my favorite parts of the Country. Though I would likely want to jump on the Ferry, and take the Viper down to Ocracoke and relax for another day. That will definitely wake up the locals to see a bunch of Snakes slithering through the Dunes , so have fun, and think about a poor soul in Nebraska who will , unfortunately, just be traveling with you all in spirit.

Put me down as a possible. I am in AZ on a deployment right now and I'm not 100% sure I'll be back in time...

Bump this back up to keep active.....
This event is not meant as an alternative to Myrtle beach. This cruise is just a one day (or weekend) getaway to see the Northern Outer Banks. In the future, if the turnout justifies it, I will arrange more planned activities.
If you are interested in attending or want more info, let me know.

Due to lack of interest in this event, I have cancelled the cruise planned for May 9'th. Thank you to those who did express an interest, and I'll let you know if I reschedule.
