Kathy & Buck left to head north to Whalehead Beach around noon. No longer would our parking area be filled with the OBC fleet of vehicles. Dawn & I just relaxed on the deck, catching some rays and watching the ocean. We had no pressing matters to attend to - since the BBQ wasn't until Wednesday, we had plenty of time to prepare for that. Really, there isn't too much to blog about ..... we were simply being beach bums.
A few years ago, I read a quote from a visitor's journal in which she described her days on the Outer Banks in the 1880's - "I swear, this is the laziest place on earth. All we do is eat, sleep and visit along the beach." Hmmmmm ....... not much has changed in the past 130 years.
The fellow, pictured above, depicts lazy to the umpteenth degree. Either that, or he missed the pier by a few miles. I never saw him catch a thing during my entire visit. I wonder why that is?
One nice thing about staying in Kitty Hawk, along the beach road ..... people are more likely to drop in just to say, "Hi." I love having company! Over the next few weeks I met so many wonderful folks. Our very first visitors were BobbyG & his beautiful wife, Suzi. They made the jump of being full-time residents a few years ago. I don't think they've ever regretted their decision. The kindness, joy & friendship that exudes from this couple is absolutely awesome!
Other than the wonderful visit from the Bobby & Suzi, our entertainment for the day was watching the stand up paddle surfers. This sport has come about in the past couple of years. I think it looks like fun ...... especially when they are going up and over the waves.
Maybe I'll put that on my list of things to do next year.
