Dan, Dina, Emma, and Jake Okoniewski arrived in Hatteras Village yesterday, Sunday. We had dinner together--burgers and Mako shark on the grill--to kick off the week together. Today, Monday, was a beautiful day on the beach: winds from the East 10-15 knots and a fairly rough surf, but the water was a beautiful light green and the beach experience was excellent, the breeze keeping things cool.
Later in the afternoon we put Dan's Boston Whaler in the water at Teach's. We took it for a spin, first heading out toward the inlet--scouting out the flounder and spanish mackeral fishing spots--and then turning around, entering Oden's breakwater, and driving the full length of the canal, exiting on the Eastern end and coming back around the wetlands. Andrew and Jake occupied the bow and rode out the waves, chatting together. We tied up the Whaler in the slip next to the Sea Ya Bea. Plan is to take the Whaler out at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow and hit the flounder or drive north through the Sound to fish for gray trout. Should be fun.
