This was taken from the end of the bar on the top deck - the south end deck next to the seafood company. We wondered Friday night if there would even be a sunset. There was, but it was behind the huge lightning-filled cloud bank over the mainland. It's a perfect view of the entrance and the boat traffic coming and going.
@johnbt - How fun, John. Perfect view and so pretty. It's funny how those sunsets will fool ya and show up at the last minute like they want to be seen.
@johnbt Looks like a great place to have a sunset cocktail.
@johnbt Nice view!! Is Jolly Roger related to the Jolly Roger up in Kill Devils Hill?
@Don Not that I know of. The old Ocracoke JR was destroyed by Dorian and never rebuilt. The new owners were able to use the approved plans for the rebuild that came with the property. "The Silver Lake Motel & Inn and the former Jolly Roger Pub & Marina was sold at an auction on July 29 for $4.1 million to the ABC Family LCC, a property management company, located in Greenville. The family business was founded by Rich Balot, according to Dewey Dunn, vice president of real estate and marketing at Country Boys Auction & Realty Inc., who coordinated and conducted the auction. While some large investment firms showed initial interest, the property ultimately went to a regional, family-owned group, which may align better with community values and the island’s character, Dunn said. Dunn was effusive with his praise for the Balot family saying the motel is going to a good home. He said they are regarded as reputable and experienced developers with a track record in hospitality renovations. The Balots intend to do a full-scale overhaul of the hotel and suites bringing all-new infrastructure and amenities, Dunn said. They aim to restore the Jolly Roger located on a dock on Silver Lake harbor
