Just me and the other planes on the water this morning... (zoom in on the horizon, about 11 o'clock)

I've seen it a few times landing waaaay over there. This was the first time I got close enough to see the props not spinning (and then start). Pretty cool.

The Swansboro and Emerald Isle area can be a bit crowded and tricky at times. You will see a lot of boats on the ICW in that area. I have circled a few spots here going toward Bogue Inlet. There will be boats anchored at all of these places and the tide will determine how much beach you have. Be mindful of the tides and check your boat often..... Especially if you go for a long walk. The area circled in red is a nice spot because you can walk over to the ocean side, but it is a State park and therefore, alcohol is prohibited. You can also pull up to the town docks (if you can find a place) and walk around Swansboro. I recommend Church Street Deli. It's a cool little pub place with good sandwiches, etc. View attachment 127093

@Ismael Breton very nice island, curious as to how long doesn’t take to inflate and deflate? Does it come with high flow volume pump? Does it take up too much room to store?
I have a Dewalt Battery Powered inflator. It takes me around 15 minutes to get it completely inflated. When I deflate it, also with the pump, I simply fold it and store it in my floorboard compartment. I have plenty of room for it and it’s well worth bringing it out. I have a 2 year old and this float creates a completely safe space for him. I usually blow it it when I know we will be anchored for a while. It’s a lot of fun even for the adults. Everyone loves it when I bring it out. I bought it on Overtons at the end of the season last year. It’s extremely well made. I bought it in November/December and I paid around $160 for it.E50FE02E-E945-493B-A142-04AF87C4677A.jpeg

Last weekend had 7 adults and 10 kids in the boat with a days worth food ez-ups and chairs. So not sure which of the 16 others caused the stain and finally went rope less for more than a minute so I could couldn’t careless about it! And it was probably the tenth or eleventh time this summer the kids have proclaimed it the best day ever.

Getting a little bored of our usual spot or two and decided to take a cruise down the river to the Chesapeake Bay last weekend. I used less fuel than I was expecting on the 70ish mile roundtrip jaunt down and back plus wakeboarding afterwards. The wakes down there caused me to think my boat is a lot smaller than I thought it was. :D

Calvert Cliffs. Lots of shark's teeth here on what was once apparently covered in ocean water.
