We did not move to the Carolina coast for cool breezes and colder water. We came for the warm breezes and warm waters.

There are lots of beaches out there, but how many of those can touch your soul?

The beaches were full, the bridge backed up with traffic and the Intracoastal Waterway was buzzing with boats, but I enjoyed some quiet time on the river.

I love being out on the water and seeing how far away the land is.

We were on a great boating cruise recently. It went to one of my favorite places, the area of marshes between Bear Island and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Finally the water has warmed to over 70F and it is time to start paddling.

The water temperature has taken a huge leap in the last week. It is time to start enjoying the water…

I have enjoyed spending a week back in my uniform of shorts and t-shirt. I am not pleased to have to give them up this weekend for bluejeans and a sweat shirt. The warm days are just teasing us.

The Crystal Coast of North Carolina can help winter fade from your memory.
