Also – Mackey’s Crab Bar is pretty good, yes? That place has changed a lot since I was a teenage commercial fisherman 35 years ago. If you met some of the locals, I bet you got an earful, didn’t you?! Some of my brethren get very smart (and loud) when they git-to-drinken…

For an off-the-beaten-path trip up the Albemarle, try Mackey’s Marina on the south side [of Albemarle Sound] (252-793-5031) (http://www.mackeysmarina.com/) Joanne and Henry run it. They have a great bar/seafood restaurant now (local crabs) and transient slips. Deep enough water if you stay in the channel. Very protected. Good tackle shop. Fuel. Boat lift. It’s a working crabbers dock, so be prepared for working boats, not pristine cruisers. Bald eagles nest up the creek and ospreys all over – pretty spot if you like rustic.
No connection, just a displaced local boy.
