Dawn is just beginning to break as my husband, Matt, and I hang a left off State 12 and the pavement quickly dissolves to dirt. When we dead-end at a gate, Joe O’Grady, who has been conducting excursions in the Outer Banks for more than 25 years, is waiting to take us out on the water. His business, Coastal Kayak Touring Company, leads paddlers all over the islands, but the trip from Pine Island Audubon Center, a former duck-hunting camp that is now one of the last untouched places in the northern Outer Banks, is a favorite for O’Grady. The spot preserves 2,600 acres of marshland, beaches, and upland maritime forest. We’ve come to explore its miles upon miles of meandering water trails that zigzag around tiny islands in the Currituck Sound.
