Folks,

I just spent a 3 day weekend in the coolest place I can remember going to lately. Here in the middle of nowhere lies this little village on this little island, where the pace of life moves slower than normal, making it just about right! I've put out some feelers for a Potter trip out there in September, and want to give an update to my thoughts. I put some pictures and brochures at http://members2.clubphoto.com/jj119874/

First, I'm flexible on the dates. I originally set Labor Day weekend as the target date, but would be willing to go later in September, especially since it should be cooler by then (I think the 100 degrees we've had here this week has me down!). Second, it's a long trip! I know that the West Coasters just did a Catalina trip, which according to the song is equally as long. Conditions here are vastly different, as we'll be covering the same distance in 20 feet of water. So, it's either feast or famine on the water. If we hit a nice 10-15 day from the right direction, it will be paradise. If we hit 15-20 on the nose, it will be hell!

Also, there's lots to do in the area, from a day trip to Portsmouth, to venturing further north to Hatteras. Would like to know what kinds of things folks would like to do on this trip, or if anyone's still interested.
