We had a great time at the Chicamacomico life saving    Reenactment.  The US Life Saving Service was a forerunner of the Coast Guard.  Current members volunteer and using the original equipment demonstrate how they saved people from shipwrecks.

Whalehead Club

Another rainy day so we went north to Duck and Corolla. We saw the lighthouse , the  restored  buildings, including the chapel, then went to the Whalehead Club.  It was all very interesting. At the Whalehead Club tour we were each given individual recorders so we could listen to as much or little as we wanted.  The Tiffany lights, art deco details, and duck bill doorknobs were some of the highlights.
