Blown Out Outer Banks




So much for surfing while on leave...

The third straight day of strong winds, cooler air temperatures and washing machine surf. We tried. I did not anticipate the weather cooling off this fast - I remember September being HOT-HOT-HOT... with the weather here, I should have brought the wetsuits and jackets.

This is the waterfront at Kill Devil Hills - victory at sea conditions, but Marlon insisted on seeing the water. After a few seconds on the beach, he and Noe were both asking to go back to the car - but that's just when all the cool stuff on the beach was being noticed - mermaid's purses among other things.

This guy was pitching some bait out into the maelstrom - we didn't stick around long enough to see if he was getting any bites, though he was tending the line so I think there was something playing with the bait.

Despite the weather and lack of surfing, still a fun time down at the Outer Banks!!!
