remembering

A few from the last go round of Sandy's spin up through the Carolinas.  enjoy.....

a few more from Holden Beach

Well Irene has come and gone and headed to the big apple now, but I have a few more from Holden for ya!

Come on Irene

Irene has gotten closer and closer to us here in the Carolinas and hasn't dissapointed these past two days.  She's a big girl with a big push!!  Lots of water moving around up in Holden today as well as OIB.  Got some nice ones from the pier in Holden and then we went out in OIB.  Came back to MB and thought the squalls had really began to move in on us but Irene let up for a while and gave us great speedy lines for all to enjoy!!!  Picuteres below are of both MB and Holden today and there's a slideshow link for flickr too!  Have fun be safe and enjoy...... Irene days 1 and 2 slideshow

you say you're gonna paddle into that?

if you did not know, I also work at a local eatery from time to time and a guest last night posed this question to me as we were talking about my escapades in the water and how excited I was that a storm was in our region. not wishing any storm to make landfall but only produce some swell, he just did not understand how someone would paddle into rough water, a golfer, I had to ask him how he feels when hits that sweet spot and the ball just flys down the fairway and explain I get that same feeling riding a 6 foot glassy wall of a left hand swell!   hopefully we'll have some swell in our driving distance all week!
