To The Billowing Bastion of Blithesome Beach Bums
From My Heart to Yours
When life threw Sandie and I a curveball last year with that unexpected zoning issue, I thought my days of sharing the Outer Banks with you were coming to an end. It was more than losing an apartment—it was the potential loss of the beach bum life that has become such a meaningful
part of who I am and what I share with you all.
In that moment of uncertainty, my friend Charlie Parker suggested something intriguing—we should create a Beach Bum Society where those of you who find joy in my content could chip in a few dollars monthly. While we couldn’t stay directly on the Outer Banks as hoped, your support helped us land in charming Edenton, just a short drive away. Because of you, my OBX photography got a new lease.
I’ve been overwhelmed by all the messages telling me how my content brings sunshine to your days.
Please know that every contribution, no matter the size, has filled me with gratitude. Your support isn’t just financial—it’s a vote of confidence that what I’m doing matters.
I’ll be honest—I haven’t nurtured this Beach Bum Society community the way I initially envisioned, and I know the links were broken for a while. But I’ve committed to breathing new life into this site these past weeks and creating the vibrant community we all deserve.
Your contribution is completely flexible—start, pause, or cancel anytime.
What matters most to me is the connection we share.
Sending waves of gratitude and love from our little corner of North Carolina to wherever you may be.
~Roy & Sandie ❤️
