Our new book, 100 Pictures, 1000 Words, A Crystal Coast Year

crystalcoastcover

 

If the cold weather is getting you down, try spending some time with 100 of my favorite images of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.  It is much harder than you think to come up with the best images of such a scenic area.  That is specially true when you take over 40,000 pictures a year.  Click this link or the image of the cover to sample our book.  It is a Kindle book, but as this page explains, Kindle reader software works on anything.

The great fall makes winter look okay

We have enjoyed a wonder fall.  Winter appears to be on track,  but we have some nice weather on tap along the Southern Outer Banks before the New Year.  For more information click the link or the picture.  http://ow.ly/rRVrb

Here on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast we do not put our boats away after Labor Day.  We have a long season after that and some of us boat every month of the year. For more info, click the picture or the link.  #boating #CrystalCoast http://ow.ly/qY6zn

Just The Thought of Being On The Water

After the stress of the last couple of days, just thinking about being on the water is a good thing.    Some actual time on the water looks mighty appealing. Click the link or the picture.  #crystalcoast http://ow.ly/ol7lD

August’s heat has a firm grip on the coast

Along the Crystal Coast we expect it to be warm in August.  However, fall-like blue skies are unusal.  Read more on how we cope with the heat by clicking the picture or the link.   #crystalcoast http://ow.ly/nOZrz
