September 2019
I planned to finish my Atlantic Ocean 2020 project with a research trip to the Outer Banks. I have been working on this project since 2013. I have driven from Fort Kent Maine to Key West Florida to talk to people about what they have seen and experienced on their beloved shores. I grew up in Maine. My feeling about the “Great Pond” are profound. Read more about the project
I had 7 hotel reservations from Charleston , SC to Wilmington, North Carolina. I had appointments with university professors, town officials and fishermen/women. I planned to land on September 7 in Charleston. THEN: Dorian arrived.

I thought about going anyway but it seemed so very inappropriate to be there asking these questions in the aftermath of what happened. I will be returning sometime in the near future.
