Outer Banks Portraits of wind, planes and island life
A travelogue across the North Carolina Outer Banks recalls encounters with Dennis, Ocracoke and Portsmouth Island residents, historic figures, wrecks, and wartime nearby danger. It mingles dunes, beaches, weathered cottages, shells, and memories of ships, pilots, and coastal culture in a vivid, period-voiced portrait.
