For the last three years it’s also meant the  North Carolina Wine and Food Weekend on Bald Head Island. On Saturday, October 15, I headed out to the open-air market at the 2011 (read)

Releasing Rescued Turtles into the Sea

Jammin’ at the Americana Music Festival

Heading off to the Americana Music Festival this past Memorial Day Weekend, I had no idea what to expect. The event was in its first year, so I had nothing to go on.

Howl at the Moon? I Couldn’t Help Myself

If you were on Bald Head Island on May 17 and were near East Beach around moonrise, you may have heard me and about 100 other people howling at the moon.

Super Stars with the Bald Head Island Conservancy

Most of my adventures put me on Bald Head Island during the day, but on my most recent adventure things didn’t even start to get interesting until 8:30 p.m. The sun was setting and the first stars were showing themselves when my wife and I met Andy at the Fleming Environmental Center at the  Bald Head Island Conservancy  to take part in (read)
