The Outer Banks Harley Owners Group (HOG) recently took a group ride to visit an 86 year old former member of the group.  Jesse Jasielum, an eight year member of the Outer Banks HOG, was an avid motorcycle rider until about three years ago, but now he is living in an assisted living center, spending his days in a wheelchair. 

 

In addition, to being a veteran of HOG, Jasielum is also a Navy veteran and survivor of Pearl Harbor.    

 

This group ride was organized in an effort to brighten Jesse’s day and put a smile on his face. 

 

This is a great example of the local support the OBX HOG’s provide to the area.  They are sure to have a great showing for the upcoming Outer Banks Bike Week.

The newest program in the acclaimed EMMY nominated series cruises on to UNCTV at 4:00 p.m. Sunday, March 1.    

 

 Cruising Carolina: The Sounds is the fourth program in the multiple EMMY nominated series and introduces viewers to charming coastal towns and villages like Hatteras, Manteo, Plymouth, Columbia, Bath, Belhaven and Washington to name a few.  The program explores the rivers and sounds, large and small, that make this part of the North Carolina coastline so unique.

Along the way viewers will experience the unique view from atop the Bodie Island lighthouse, feel the exhilaration of kiteboarding along Hatteras Island, witness the courage of the men of the Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station, the  maritime history of the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum and learn the story of the battle of Plymouth and see what inspires a renowned coastal artist.

 

The afternoon kicks off at 2:30 with an encore presentation of the triple EMMY nominated program, Cruising Carolina: The Lower Banks, an in-depth exploration of the storied lands and waters from Ocracoke Island to Bogue Inlet.  Among the highlights of the program are the story of Ocracoke’s mounted Boy Scout Troop; the haunting tale of the ghost village of Portsmouth Island; a visit to Oriental, the sailing capitol of North Carolina; a nostalgic look at Cape Lookout National Seashore; a visit with a group charged with protecting the wild horses of Shackleford Banks and a look at the traditional craft of wooden decoy carving on Harkers Island.
