On 10/17, Robbin and I headed off to Nags Head, North Carolina to attend the wedding of my cousin Warren to the girl of his dreams, Callie. I figured that while I was down there I'd rent a kayak and do a little touring around the many waterways in the area. I solicited North Carolina kayaker/blogger Mike West, of Durhamblogger fame, for info on Outer Banks weather, rental opportunities, and even restaurant suggestions(Thanks Mike).
The Outer Banks are a kayaker's paradise. There are no fewer than 8 different "eco-tours" available that take you through various wildlife refuges, maritime forests, marshes, and bird sanctuaries.
This, however, is as close as I got to a kayak all week. I took a picture of someone else paddling at Manteo.
This is how I spent my week. I just couldn't put the book down and drag myself off the beach. I did wear my kayak hat in honor of my good intentions though......
.....and I did see some wildlife.
Robbin and I fell in love with the Nags Head area and are planning a return trip in late Spring. I will definitely be doing some kayaking then.

Sunset over the Manteo waterfront.
This was the best and most important part of the entire week. Warren and Callie were married on the beach, under a driftwood arbor, in the most beautiful ceremony that I've ever seen.
Howdy Mark! Glad you and Robbin made it down to Nags Head and enjoyed yourselves - even if you did not go paddling! Sunset photo is awesome and the wedding looked beautiful! Thanks for sharing - the photos bring back fond memories for me! BTW, my wife Rachel and I will be heading down to Myrtle Beach (Nov 7th - Nov 14th)for a "working" vacation and we plan to get in some sea kayaking there. Look for details on Durhamblogger.
