Fall Nags Head Trip

Submitted by webguy on Sun, 09/11/2022 - 15:08

Barrett and Peggy Walker invite interested club members to join them for a week (or two) in Nags Head this fall for the weeks of Oct 8 and Oct 15. The rates are $500/wk per individual with a private bedroom, or $550 per couple.

Twice a year we plan boardsailing trips in Spring & Fall to Nags Head in the Outer Banks. We love Nags Head because conditions are great for both beginners and experienced sailors. The bottom is sandy and chest-deep half a mile out from shore, so it’s an easy place to learn. Then there’s the wind. It’s well known the Wright Brothers chose the Outer Banks for their first flight after searching Weather Service records for a location with frequent, steady wind. The Sound offers predictably flat water and small waves for improving skills, with much more challenging conditions in the open ocean.
