So I made it out to my favorite hole on this past Saturday morning. Boy the water and air temperature are sure rising, and none too soon if you ask me. I headed out at about 10:30 in the morning, and the water seemed a lot warmer than the last time I was out.
Came across a buoy that looks a bit out of place.

The north wind and outgoing tide carried me and the kayak effortlessly to the point on Emerald Isle. While I went by the Coast Guard station it appeared as though they were setting up for a little cookout. And what a perfect place they have for a cookout, and what nice weather we all shared.
