船乗りと海を称える芸術的な快適さ

Tedrowe Bonner is trained as a sociologist and works globally in the field of regenerative development. He and his work colleague Marcia Amidon are currently working in Ukraine and in different parts of the United States. Their work ranges from land-use development through permaculture, to consulting with governments on developing sustainable master plans.

Marcia is one of North America’s leading children authors and editors in nonfiction, as well as an accomplished pianist. She works with Tedrowe extensively on writing projects as well as project development for their work in regenerative development.

Tedrowe has been an avid sailor for many years and had a successful racing career. Like any dedicated sailor, he sneaks away for a session of windsurfing or kiting whenever he can; if you see him traveling with a long suitcase, it is probably is sailing gear. Marcia has decided to join this crazy journey, and has experienced the power of water in ways she never thought she would.

The Outer Banks carries a long and storied anthropological and ecological legacy that perhaps few places in America can claim. The oldest European artifacts in North America were found in the Outer Banks, and a thriving civilization of indigenous people lived very successfully for hundreds of years prior to Europeans’ arrival. The Outer Banks remains a vital link in the “Atlantic Flyway” for migratory birds, which speaks to its historical importance of biodiversity. For centuries these barrier islands have served as a critical haven for humans and wildlife.

Like native ancestors who arrived here from mainland tribes, we see this as an important place to vacation. In our modern interpretation, we have come here for years to windsurf and kiteboard, but really many threads remain of what transpired centuries ago. Ultimately, it is the nature and the people that make time here so compelling.

The properties we have selected allow us to blend community and activity as this part of Avon has developed into a hub for water sports enthusiasts. Moreover, we are striving to make vacations convenient, and it is viable to have a great time without ever needing to get in the car. Our rentals strike a great balance by being close to everything that makes a vacation worthwhile, perhaps not so differently than people who lived here a long time ago.

Most simply, our approach is to offer many of a hotel’s conveniences with all the benefits of being in a home. But, in reality our mission is far more extensive. The core purpose of our company is to help regions around the world create a path towards a sustainable future, where all human activity generates comprehensive health for all life on this planet. How we live – our homes – is an extremely important piece of this future, and we take it very seriously.

Our units reflect this work the best they can. We have installed some of the most advanced fans and climate control technology to improve indoor air quality and comfort. We have spent numerous working days researching soaps, cleaning products, detergents, and paper products that are good for the environment and for us. We have taken numerous energy and water efficiency measures that actually will improve our guests’ stay.

We hope that while sitting on the balcony with a cold drink watching sunsets and sailors, you will appreciate our efforts. This is an evolving project, and we appreciate your ideas and feedback.
