The 2026 OBX130 is July 19-24. OBX is Outer Banks. Since I live in the IBX, I'll be sailing my 19 to the start, sail the even, and return. I have 2 routes an available to me. One takes me down the ICW to Beaufort and then north along the OBX to the campgrounds it starts at. The second route is up the Neuse river to the south end of Pamlico Sound. From there I'll sail into West Bay just north of Cedar Island and to the river connecting it to Thorofare Bay and Core Sound. I'm hoping the weather allows me to take a route there and a different route home. Although taking Adam's Creek (ICW) is longer and with more traffic from large vessels.

If anyone is interested in going, I have plenty of yard for your rigs and a suitable ramp .7 miles away.
