More beach and no snow!
I guess that when it comes to beaches, the OB or outer banks come to most people's mind. It sure does to mine. Great waves, fine sand and free travel. I love it when you let the air out of the tires on arrival, and hate to have to pump them up again to leave. On and off the beach constantly.
I had a friend who lived in Rodanthe, NC. A good photographer who once worked for the Washington Post as their sports photog. Closest human being I ever knew to a true beach bum. Dick Darcey! Bless him and Rip. He had a shop on the main highway of the outer banks...The artery that always washes over during heavy storms. The infamous Rt. 12. He sold anything from carvings, driftwood he collected, his own photos and works of others. A true character who always signed his work and mail as "D squared". You know, those of you educated in the public government school system,...that's D with a little two to the upper right. We showed together at the Easton Waterfowl Festival for about twelve years, always going out for raw oysters for lunch. The sales each day would take care of themselves, but he always took the time to smell the roses.
He lived somewhere between the "Upper end" of the banks at Duck and the lover more rural Hatteras Village. I, for one prefer the area around the Hatteras light at Buxton. Cape Point is the spot that sports more shipwrecks than the entire banks. And here's the reason.
Not the angler, but the waves. Standing at the point from which I took this photo, one can look to sea and witness such wave action all the way to the horizon. I can do justice in a photograph, but suffice to say if you ever have the chance you must witness Cape Point.
Part of the charm of the North Carolina shore is the wave action. Of course it all depends upon weather and for me of course the lighting.

Curl, blue green water and great beaches.
And a nice breeze off the shore provides the appropriate spray.
Sleep well D Squared!
