John's Adventures
Hello! I'm John Grayson and I hope you enjoy reading of my adventures as much as I enjoy participating in them. I am one of those technology professionals whose interests lie outside of technology. Instead of checking out techie stuff, I check out history, nature, sports, and alcohol. Have Fun!Monday, September 20, 2004
Outter Banks, NC
The Baltimore Boozehounds went on vacation to Rodanthe on the Outter Banks. We rented the Sea Peck (or Sea Pecker) for a week of playing on the beach and drinking a lot of whatever we could get our hands on.
It's a decent drive from Maryland without the added fun of a bridge being closed. Somehow, a boat captain had crashed his boat into the last bridge I need to cross to get to Rodanthe. Word was passed from car to car down the line that it would be at least an hour before it could be determined if the road was safe to drive on.
Ok, what do you do now? Well, if you're me you wander around aimlessly for a few minutes, then you stretch out in the road for a nap. After all, it was dark and if cars started to drive past me I figured the noise would wake me up.
Someone had other plans for me though. I was awakened by an older man looking for a cell phone to borrow. He just wanted to warn people waiting for him that it might be a while before he made it to the house. Oh well, I had been asleep for more then half and hour and a few minutes after the gentleman left the bridge was opened to traffic.
We spent the week doing exactly as planned. During the day we played on the beach and in the surf. There were several games of football, volleyball, and horseshoes. At night we had bonfires and fireworks on the beach with an assortment of beverages. Our last night we went to bed at about 2 AM and that was the earliest any of us saw our eyelids for the whole week.
I had an adventure on Wednesday. There were several other players involved and the details of this adventure will be given in my next post.
