By lucky chance, the charter fishing fleet was returning just as we were crossing back on the ferry. We had seen the boats go out that morning at around 6:00 am. They were now returning with their catches.
Day trip out to Dungeness. Started off very hot and sunny, until i reached Dungeness, when it went all misty

Here is the puppy drum that I caught - or what was left of it after a much larger fish (probably a bluefish) chomped it off behind the head. I thought that I had a decently-sized fish on the line and then the line went slack. Dawn said "Well, at least you caught your first red drum." I replied that I am not sure if this counts, since I only ended up with a fraction of the fish. The poor thing still had the hook and bait in its mouth.
The beach walkway was right outside our cottage door. The surf was a little rough when we arrived on Thursday afternoon.
Many boats were coming in, which means that most of the fleet had stayed out all day - the fishing must have been good! The shoals can be seen in the background of this photo on the right side. You have to be very careful that you do not run aground!
Driving through Hatteras Village. Note that practically every hotel and shop deals with marinas or fishing. This is my kind of place!
Our bait set-up. We were using fresh shrimp and mullet. Rod had everything iced in the cooler and ready to go. Have I said before that Rod's truck is totally sweet!?
Stickers on Dawn's truck. It is the solemn duty of every surf fisherman to "sticker-up" their sand pony. We all added to our collection on this trip.
Dawn and Alan in the surf. The water temperature was now hitting 60-degrees. We hoped that, at this temperature, the red drum would start moving.
I have a bite! It ended up getting off the hook though, dang it! Rod had already caught a puppy drum, so we knew that the fish were out there.
On the ferry to Ocracoke, we were accompanied by many fishing vessels. They were all streaming out of the Pamlico Sound, heading for the open Atlantic. As the shoals make the passage dangerous, it is important to stay in the deep water channel and follow the markers. Therefore, we had many fishing vessels racing alongside us. Man, what a beautiful sunrise!
With the many fishing boats heading out, it made for a moving scene. In my head, I was hearing the opening music from the film "The Perfect Storm."
This photo was taken at Cape Florida Lighthouse in Miami, Florida. During a walk on the beach, I wanted to look up and appreciate the cloud formation and the shades of color between the water and the shadows of the forest.

The dunes before Rodanthe. These small dunes are a very fragile, but essential part of the Outer Banks ecosystem. It is the dunes that keep the ocean from washing over the road. Because dunes, and the grass that holds them together, are so important, you should never climb on the dunes. This photo was taken through the truck's windshield.
