Outer Banks Blog Scene

The Outer Banks Blog scene has been quite active this summer.  The number of local bloggers continues to grow and covering subjects from charter boat fishing to local politics.  There are a few blogs I would like to highlight - the Ronnie Roach Cliffs Notes version of OBX Blogging.

Paula the Queen of the Surf Pirates - has been spearheading an effort to allow free speech without harassment on our local blogs.  Go Paula!

Bob Muller from View From The Ridge followed up with timely posts about responsible commenting and support for eliminating bully tactics intended to silence the local bloggers.

Outer Banks Republic wrote a very compelling piece about why he supports Beach Nourishment.  I know this topic never seems to go away but I really appreciated the time and thought that was put into this post.  Whether you are for or against beach nourishment, I believe any reasonable person can relate to the points addressed by Monty.  Paula once commented that the pro beach nourishment group needed a better front man.  I believe Monty would be a great fit.

On a lighter note - the folks from Village Realty gave a lesson in "How to speak like a local".  Good stuff.

Bill from Bill's OBX Beach Life has a new toy - a waterproof video camera that he takes while windsurfing.  Pretty cool toy.

I have also found quite a few vacationers that blog about their Outer Banks Experience.  A couple to note -

Fred Black - Found his site when he posted about visiting this summer.

Miles and his Favorites has been documenting their vacation - I thought vacation was a time to relax.  This guy is doing it all.  He will need a vacation when he gets home.

Thanks for linking to Miles's blog. He's seven and dictates all his entries to me as his typing isn't quite up to snuff. Anyway, we are keeping busy indeed!

We've been visiting the Outer Banks as a family since I was a child, but this is the first year I've been able to bring my children (7 and 4 years old) to experience everything I've loved about this wonderful place! You are lucky to call it home!
