She’s back!

We finally got the Country Girl back in the water and she’s looking right. Just a few more days at the dock to clean the dust out of the cabin and get everything dialed in.

As of now, our first scheduled trip is April 17th.

The reports we’re hearing sound good. Bluefin still on the beach and yellowfin offshore. It’s shaping up to be a good start.

We’re ready to get back where we belong.

Dare County is inviting community members to step up and be part of something truly special by volunteering at the Dare A250 Faire on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

This milestone celebration, honoring America’s 250th anniversary in the birthplace of America, will bring thousands of residents and visitors to downtown Manteo and Roanoke Island Festival Park for a day filled with history, entertainment, food, and community spirit. Making an event of this size successful takes a team—and volunteers are at the heart of it all.

Right now, one of the greatest needs is for volunteers at multiple parking locations for the event. These volunteers will help oversee parking areas, serve as a friendly point of contact for guests, and ensure everything runs smoothly in each designated lot. No special experience is required, just a welcoming attitude and a willingness to help.

For more information, please contact Patty O’Sullivan at patricia.o’sullivan@darenc.gov.
