2010 Carolina Chocolate Fesitval Feb 5th-7th
Morehead City – The Crystal Coast plays host to the 7th Annual Carolina Chocolate Festival. Today there was a charity golf event at Brandywine Bay Golf Course. Tonight there was an Evening Wrapped in Chocolate at Shepard’s Point in Morehead City. This tasty event benefited the Girls and Boys Club of Coastal Carolina.
Today the beached Atlantic right whale stranded on a shoal just off Cape Lookout was euthanized. NOAA’s fisheries service said the animal was in too bad of shape to be saved. The whale had been stranded for several days.
My favorite place to eat and drink on the Crystal Coast is having another Super Bowl Party this year! This is good news, because I missed most of last year’s festivities. Oh yeah, they’ll be grilling out again too.
I had to go to court today in Beaufort. But let me warn you, be prepared to hunt for a parking spot there if you have a court date. It’s hard to believe they expect all these people on the docket to find a parking place anywhere near the courthouse.
Cedar Point – Bogue House Restaurant is an excellent Crystal Coast dining choice. If you’re looking for some eastern Carolina style food this is the place for you. Its a small place with big taste.
Emerald Isle - I went on a date Saturday night and decided to head to Rucker John’s for dinner. This is one of the most popular restaurants on the Crystal Coast. It’s reasonably priced, the serivce is usually decent, and the food is consistent.
The Emerald Isle Wine Market caught fire on Sunday January 18th at about 5:30 am. The market is attached to a gas station and convenience store located at the intersection of Coast Guard Road and Hwy 58 in Emerald Isle.
Well today ushered in a cold snap that will bring two nights of hard freeze to the Crystal Coast. And after the hard freeze, I guess the next few days are soft freezes? Its going to get down to 18 and 19 degrees tonight and tomorrow night. After that the night time temperatures will be in the 20′s.
I am in need of an author who checks the surf regularly in Atlantic Beach, and would like to provide daily, or near daily surf reports. I really can’t pay much for this, so i know it is going to be hard to find someone willing to spend 10 to 15 minutes a day posting a report. But there is money to be made in this.
Well today it got pretty windy along the Crystal Coast. I saw this morning they were calling for winds of 40 to 45 MPH. Then just a minute ago, I heard there was a strong storm cell moving through the area that could produce winds up to 65 MPH.
