On days like this, it’s easy to imagine living in coastal North Carolina. On the Outer Banks, Carolina Blue Skies and soft easterly breezes herald perfect weather to be outside. And what better weather for the Roanoke Island Maritime Museum’s 5th Annual One Design Regatta featuring Optimist, 420, Sunfish – adult and youth and Laser.

We were a major sponsor for this year’s race by providing food for the participants from High Cotton BBQ of Kitty Hawk, NC. Check out their menu at http://www.highcottonbbq.com/. High Cotton is famous in Eastern North Carolina for their pulled pork barbeque, brunswick stew and cornbread, to name a few.

Christopher Cross must have been thinking of days like this on Roanoke Island when he composed:

It’s not far down to paradise
At least it’s not for me
And
if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas
can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
