Our latest Ocracoke Newsletter is a reprint of an article Philip wrote about sailing aboard the historic two-masted schooner, Mary E. It was originally published in the Washington Post in 1976. You can read it here:

I read the St Simons light is out too. Sounds as if the entire Atlantic coast is dark is this coincidence or a deliberate move t protect a national historic landmark
ReplyDeleteThe Ocracoke light is out just so repairs can be made and much needed renovations completed. I don't know anything about any other lights.
