Everybody has a Delbert Story: 1986 Fall Oct, Mant

Everybody has a Delbert Story: 1986 Fall Oct, Manteo Courthouse. I was 17 and waiting for the judge to call me up for some dumb shit I was a part of. In the back of the room you couldn’t miss him, long hair, full Neptune Beard, full broad football shoulders, surf tshirt, bird wells, and flops. Sound Asleep. Mr Melton! The judge yells, Yes Sir, Delbert Wakes up, are you here to enter your plea today? Yes, sir, Not Guilty! At the time, I had no idea that that character would be in and out of my life over the next 30 + Years. Fast forward a couple months and I’m in a car with this dude and a few other maniac characters screaming across Oregon Inlet chasing a swell to Rodanthe and Pea Island or another January swell arguing with Andy, that owned Nags Head Pier, about whether we can jump off, to get out easier in surf that’s easily three sand bars out in freezing cold Conditions. I got washed in that day, even with the extra help of the pier. As I sat there on the beach keeping an eye on D, he was a distant speck, as far out as you could see in the belly of this triple overhead winter screamer, streaking like a bat out of hell. Not one person around, no cameras, no lifeguards, no tax man, no cops, no teachers, no coaches. Just exactly where he wanted to be, in the ocean, doing what he loved, in his element, if only for that instant, he had made it in life. He masterfully rode that wave all the way in, right onto the sand. It was after stashing our boards in the abandoned section between, Atlantis and the Foosball Palace, we rode our bikes back home to our own respective kerosene heaters. We drank beer that was white labeled, and only said “BEER” on it, and warmed up for the next session. Winter 86/87, seems like a movie thinking back on it all…

That was the winter I learned the strips of duct tape on your wrist and ankles to keep them from getting so flushed.

Over the next year, he met my Mom, and they became close, eventually moving in together on Barnes Street. God help her… My mom worked for Britthaven Nursing Home, nearby, as a N/A for ten years or so she was a good caretaker. After the landlord had had enough of all of Delbert’s things, they found themse

Saw an unmanned boat just heading for the little bridge on the windward side on my way home from my boat this evening. "That's not supposed to be there." After turning around, I saw a guy on the north side about to jump on this bad boy. Wind is NW around 25+ gust 30. water temp in 50s. Air temp 48. After grabbing all the line in my truck and running over to where he was getting hammered on the bridge, another girl had shown up commuting from her coast guard duty today. After getting the word Boat US was on their way, the jumper told me his son hit a wave and fell off the boat in shallow bag bay, engine just kept going... Son managed to swim to a marker and miraculously his phone worked that was in his pocket. His dad was driving back to manteo from the hospital when he saw the boat. The captain on the @boatus boat handled this like a boss. ,👊 #ittakesavillage #kudos #boatus #coastguard #hyperthermia he's fine.

Holy Adrenaline rush! Was pulling into our court after work around 4:30. I was the only one here. Six houses here in this court, front north ocean front had some flames smoke pouring out around the carport. Called 911, run up stairs grab the extinguisher, and get the flames doused miraculously. There was a hose nearby and I was able to keep the flames down until they got here five minutes later.

It's a cmas miracle!

Try not to fall asleep watching this. #oldmantrucks . Trying to dial these trucks in.

This thing goes 27 mph for 15 miles. Guess being a tech nerd I had to try eboards and ebikes and a couple of deals came along. Come by if you want to go for a spin.

Went for the waves, ended up with more bluefish than you can handle. Could have thrown a rusty penny with a hook on it and caught fish. People were just walking around randomly holding bluefish. Was definitely good to be in it this time. #bluefish #bluefishblitz #friscodisco #ocracokeisland @dirtysaville @tischp
