       Yesterday was the first day of Sun in three days and the Ocean was just beautiful. The Surfers were out in force and the waves were just right for them. Head high waves and almost warm temps in the low 70's made for a perfect combination. We walked on the beach for almost 2 hours with brief stops to watch the boarders, some were really good and some were just learning with help from friends. All and all a good day.                                                             G
When you can't fish you just walk

And they never get wet

Just another day at the beach

The birds, the ocean ,and Laurens' shadow

Always something to see

And I have a hard time just standing up

         Another dark day on the beach. Was raining in the morning but has let up a bit this afternoon. Did a little driving around this afternoon. Did some grocery shopping and went into the island on the Sound side where we haven't been in about 5 years. What a difference, they have really built up the Collington area and there are some really some nice town houses there now and they are under $200.00 with a boat slip. We also found another new RV Park and they are open all year long. Always a good thing when passing through during the cold weather.                                                                                                           G

         Well here we are with the first bad day of weather since we have been in the Outer Banks. It started last evening with the cool wind and this morning about 10 the heavens let loose. The wind and really heavy rain has been going ever since. A good day to read and do some computer searches. So we shall rest and enjoy the rest of the day and hope all is well with all of you.             G

    Finished our week of family at SeaScape and we are back in the RV. Can't express how nice it was to be back in our own home. The cats are still in super love mode. Guess they thought we we not coming back. Spent the best part of yesterday on the beach as it was very warm here , 81 degrees with just a slight breeze. The water is just starting to get a little cool but still OK . Have no idea what we will do over the next week but there is no bad time here, just relax and enjoy. I have some tackle and poles to clean up , got a little careless and my pole and reel ended up in the sand, Oh well no big problem just a hose and some fresh water. Our family time was great as usual and extremely tiring. Not use to the very late nights and all the laughing that goes with everyone taking a turn in the barrel. I might also say that we will miss all the fun until next year.                                    G
