It was another pleasant weekend on the outer banks.  Weather was warm, sunny with high fluffy clouds and a slight breeze off the ocean. The island was awash with visitors trying to get in that last week before school begins.  There was a hint of afternoon showers but that did not detour anyone’s objective to have that bronze look for the first day back to impress their friends. They say “if you lived here, you be home”.

I spent the weekend searching for a new location to launch the Fantasea II and readying the gear for the fall fishing frenzy.  After two trips through the back roads to the tackle shop, mission was accomplished – fishing box re-stocked. (Oh, did I tell you, I know roads the visitors don’t)

Next on the agenda, to find that launching spot. I traveled south along the Woods Road Area, on one of the many roads that runs through our many maritime forests.  We found the new ramp area busy with visitors having a picnic and chasing water snakes off the floating docks.  A slight sprinkle of rain began once we parked. I quickly scoped out the access and retreated back to our vehicle.  Second objective met.  Fantasea II and I will return to this little part of paradise once the summer season has concluded. This is the solitude that the locals yearn for every year about this time.
