Outer Banks Posts - Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills & Kitty Hawk

What a difference a day makes. Strong overnight winds have kicked up the ocean bigtime and no one is fishing yet. A flock of bird watchers visited early this morning. Winds are NW at 21 knots. Ocean water temp 63 degrees, air temp 50. High tide 11:21 a.m. Low tide 6:17 p.m. Stephen Lambert of Nags Head caught this 20 - inch-long SPECKLED TROUT yesterday afternoon.

Visiting with Justin this week is Coach Chad Williams, athletic director and varsity basketball coach at First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills. Chad talks about his charity benefit Good Guys vs. Cancer, which is happening December 4 through 7 at First Flight High School. This high school basketball showcase brings talented basketball teams from near and far to help raise money for those fighting cancer.

‘Takes a village’ The injured manatee that was spotted in Kitty Hawk Bay waters Oct. 29 has found its way back home to Florida. A multi-agency team scooped up the injured (prop wounds) and possibly sick manatee from a creek off the Tar River near Greenville Monday. Jennette’s Pier Marine Mammal Coordinator Marina Doshkov was first on the scene when the animal was spotted in Kitty Hawk. Once it was safely transported to SeaWorld Orlando, she was overjoyed. “Sending a huge thanks to all our volunteers and locals who helped keep an eye on this animal,” Doshkov said. “It takes a village!” Although several additional members of the North Carolina Aquariums assisted in the rescue, all activities were performed under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife service permit, according to Jill Sullivan, central region assistant marine mammal stranding technician for the aquariums. “They are permitted to capture and transport manatees.” Additional Aquariums staff who assisted were Emily Christiansen, head veterinarian, Lori Christiansen, associate veterinarian, Heather Broadhurst, veterinary technician and John Cece, volunteer.
