We hung out on the beach for a while and outside the motel rooms for awhile and then headed in with plans to get together Saturday morning for breakfast (optional) and some serious cruising on the sand. By the way, the Falcon was full as were all the restaurants on Saturday morning. Surf fishing was in full swing. We ate across the street and they spilt us into 2 tables as the place was packed. After breakfast, we sauntered back across the street to get ready for our outing. One minor hitch, the repairs to Blackage's pickup weren't complete and would delay our start a bit. We took advantage of the delay to "observe or surroundings" (the ladies said it wasn't being nosy). As it turns out, the rear of the Falcon's property included a new home on stilts just being moved into as well as a dock on the Sound.

Repairs all complete, we loaded up and headed for the southern tip beyond Hatteras Village. The morning sea air was warming and we still had some fog coming and going but the seagulls and the fisherman were thick. We waded and played tourist and took pictures and shot the breeze and had a grand old time. Mandibles, the Wireless Dog, showed us she was smart enough to go around those puddles no matter how much Paul called her...at least after the first time.
