My Garden
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Well a lot of friends and family have been wanting to see my garden. This is the first time I’ve grown tomatoes, and probably only my second or third garden. Growing in the sandy soil of Cedar Point or anywhere on the coast can be challenging at times.
Weather is Warming

Kayak Fishing Emerald Isle
Friday, May 7th, 2010Today the weather was supposed to be more like summer instead of spring along Emerald Isle and the Crystal Coast. So I hit the water in search of some fun in the sun.
And boy was I glad I did. After the brutal winter we had, it’s so refreshing to have summer bearing down on us rapidly.
Emerald Isle Fishing 4/10/2010
Monday, April 19th, 2010So 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.
