On a recent trip to dine with NTA Board members at The Clarion Oceanfront Hotel on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I was surprised to find a lobby FULL of Pirates! Sure, those of us looking on sort of guessed that they were actors portraying pirates, but these guys never broke character. Ever. We hung out with them for much of the evening at the hotel's lobby bar.

Turns out it was Pirate Week in the Outer Banks. These guys had come down from Virginia to perform at a couple of events slated that night in Kill Devil Hills, and travel all over the place to share their brand of piracy. While the company is called Three Jolly Coachmen, there must have been over ten of them around us, with more scattered about the hotel.

I'm sure the owners of the hotel will be happy to know that they didn't trash the place, or steal any new crew members.

Mental note: Go to OBX the last week of September. Arrrr! What a fun surprise this was, matey!
