Through his storytelling, listeners gain insight into how the weather, water, and community all intertwined to build the character of this coastal region.

From master craftsmen shaping wooden boats to generations of watermen navigating the sounds, this episode celebrates the hardworking spirit that continues to define Currituck today.

Dive in to discover how the maritime past still ripples through every wave, every dock, and every story along the Northern Outer Banks.
