Fall gardening is popular along the Crystal Coast. Here are some of my thoughts.

Most people have no idea how much fun it can be to take a 12 ft kayak out on a beautiful tidal river that is two miles wide in places. It is a wonderful adventure and can be as strenuous or easy as you would like if you do your planning right.

It is the heart of summer and a persistent southwest wind has stirred the waters and the warm temperatures have a good grip on us but there is still lots of fun to be had.
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.

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

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.
