Call Me Icarus 



Birds do it. Bees do it. Now Coastwatch staffer Daun Daemon 

 can do it too. Ever since the ancient Greek storytellers sent 

 Icarus into the air, humans have wanted to fly with wings of 

 their own. Today, hang gliding is a safe and fun way to do 

 that. Daemon takes flight at Jockey's Ridge and shares her 

 uplifting experience with readers 2

A Passion for Porches 



Porches are a place to catch the breezes, and there's no place 

 better for that than the coast. Once called galleries, verandas

Practicing What They Preach 



The Trinity Center on Bogue Banks is an asylum of sand, 

 marsh and maritime forest tucked off Highway 58. It's a 

 conference facility and more. It's a place where people can 

 learn the values of gentle living. Kids can sink nets into 

 estuarine waters in search of what lives there. And senior 

 citizens can explore the geography of the island and cultures 

 of centuries past 1 6
