The Best Beach Time Is On The Horizon

August 25, Third Street Beach, Emerald Isle, NC

The Crystal Coast, All Stirred Up & Steamy

The Thin Line On The Blue Horizon

Mowing Grass and Liking It

Teased by Spring’s Warmth

This morning we had a little fog on the river but were ice free. Our temperature managed to hit 66F this afternoon before heading back down.

We had a gloomy Friday and 2.9 inches of rain on Saturday morning. The clouds never left but we might get some of that valuable sunshine on the dock tomorrow.
