Teach's Lair at Sunset--Just a Pretty Picture. Weather Foiled Us this Weekend


By Jim Field

Dan and I planned to fish this past weekend but the weather didn't cooperate. (Something new, huh?) So I went South alone and worked on the boat, knocking a few key things off the punch list. Had a very productive day. Went to Teach's for dinner about 8:00 pm and snapped this photo (with Blackberry) walking to the restaurant. Shows lineup of charter boats at right, looking out through the marina's breakwater into Pamlico Sound. Eating alone, I started with a pound of steamed shrimp (with Old Bay seasoning) and had blackened tuna entre--some of the best-prepared tuna I've ever eaten. Washed everything down with three draft beers. Returned to Sea Ya Bea and crashed. Woke up next morning and by 5:15 am headed North to Indian River Marina in DE to meet up with Dan and Fran. Rained all the way North and into DE. Met up with Dan--by this time it was noon--and went to his boat, cracked some beers, and caught up with each other. Jon and son Austin showed up with a binder of his recent fishing photos. Then Fran showed up; had a few more beers; and we eventually worked our way to lunch at the new marina facility. Great day despite being blown out for fishing. Good to see everyone.
