Papa’s World – Ferry Landing – OIB – Completed!

Several years ago – a severe storm damaged the Ferry Landing pier and picnic area.

At one point in time many years ago –

A Ferry was operating here on the East end of OIB!

Then – it ceased – I do not know why –

but it became a local spot for pier fishing on the ICW!

The storm damage changed all of that and it became a hazard.

Early this year we visited the landing –

As the reconstruction and repairs had been completed!

Standing on the new deck and looking back at the gazebo and picnic area of Ferry Landing.

The flags at the time this picture was taken were half-mast – for President Jimmy Carter.

At the opposite end of this street is an entrance to the beach and a short walk to the long-installed

rock wall called THE GROIN –

Constructed several years ago to stop beach erosion.

Standing at the deck of the fishing pier –

Looking back at the gazebo and all the parking spaces leading up to the deck walkway.

This all sits right on the ICW!

The view is across the ICW to Brick Landing Golf Course and clubhouse.

Not seen in this picture but to the right –

It is the Brick Landing boat launch.

Also – further to the right is a campground where our friends camped for a couple nights.

We have also watched the Christmas boat parade from the fairway of the golf course.

This just might be a new place we can come to watch from the island!

Across the ICW sits the campground.

In the distance is Holden Beach –

I said to Sherry –

Now that this is complete – it just might be a change of pace place to bring our chairs-

Sit and watch the boat traffic on the ICW during spring – summer, and fall!

There also is a small beach here and plenty of room to fish from the deck and off the shore!

LOL – Laugh – smile and have funny thoughts!

Thanks for reading –

The Ferry Landing will be a place we take guests to see –

A peaceful experience on OIB.

And then walk to the other end and observe the ocean!

Papa’s World – Watching boat parade at the Links Of Brickyard Landing.

This is our view on the ladies’ tee box on number 18 at The Links at Brickyard Landing Golf Course.

We set our chairs up just as the sun went down and the full moon was coming up in the opposite direction.

It was chilly and we had blankets with us – some drinks – and just enjoyed the night sky waiting for the boats to come by!

The full moon was in the East and it was in this direction that the boats would come down the ICW!

We turned around, faced the West, and were greeted by a fantastic sunset!

The sun was almost down as we waited – I did not get pictures of the boats as it was dark and I was not sure they would turn out!

The waiting time was cold as the entire East Coast had cold weather.

But we braved it out and saw 12 boats come by all decorated out and numerous others that were not!

Sherry – our neighbors Diane and Steve – the Sun is almost set!

Papa’s World – Friends gather – girls play golf and WIN!

Buck and I get ready to tee off ahead of the ladies – they want to follow us!

We went to The Links at Bricklanding – on the ICW before the course after two holes go to the other side of the highway and you play along the marsh.

Craig and Jim get ready to hit – the ICW is on the right side and the ponds are on the left side.

Up by the green is another pond and the fairway is only 30 yards wide!

We started out and played a scramble as did the ladies.

This course eats up golf balls – and it did this day!

We get together every so often to play a scramble – Gals vs. Guys

The last one the guys one by one stroke and they missed a putt on the last hole to tie!

Dottie and Debbie – both live in Va. Beach – Dottie has been my friend for over 44 years!

Dottie and Debbie became friends when Dottie and Jim moved to Va. Beach.

Sherry and Cindy – Buck and Cindy have been our friends for over 35 years – we were neighbors

back in WNY – They moved to Magnolia Greens 26 years ago and we moved to NVA.

We have stayed friends all these years and now live 38 miles from them after moving to OIB in N.C.

Debbie – Dottie – Cindy and Sherry – while we beat them heads up – with the strokes –

they won the match – and I told the guys – NO MORE STROKES – they are too good!
