Free parking at the WB at least 'til March.  Seems like months since waves.  The Northeast, however, is climbing out of snow from a Nor'easter one week after the destruction from Sandy. 

Sunday with Hurricane Sandy

Sunday at Wrightsville Beach the winds came around as Hurricane Sandy continued up the Atlantic.  Photos are blurry and out of focus but I am to tired to care, just got some for posting. 

Hurricance Sandy Road Trip

My boy Al and I made a road trip yesterday as Hurricane Sandy was cruising up the coastline.  We found these slabs and had it all to ourselves for about an hour, then shared them with 15 of our newest friends for the next 5 hours.  I can barely type today.

Crystal Pier Wednesday was a treat.  The forecast of 4.5ft every 14secs and NE 10-15kts had Masonboro firing but crowded while across the inlet we had the Southend all to ourselves.  The wind had held off for most of the morning.  There were about 20 of us spread out to the jetty.  You could get all you wanted with fighting to get it.  I broke out the Pentax sp500 for a couple film shots and got the rest in the Nikon D5000. 

 

  Here's a heads up on the 2013 Cape Fear Striper Invitational which is scheduled for January 18 and 19th, 2013.  http://www.capefearriverwatch.org/news-events/striperfest-2013
This is a great tournament and is always a good time for all that participate, great food and auction.  It is also an excellent way to help bring back this once great fishery to it's former glory.  If your interested in fishing this event you can call me or contact the awesome staff at Cape Fear River Watch.

9 19 2012 at wrightsville beach from daylight to 1030 the wind was offshore.  3.6 @ 11 if my memory serves correct.  fun for everyone that got some of this wind swell.  then the wind moved more NE and started to chop up the swell a bit but i had about 3 hours paddling and managed a couple photos so i called
it a day.  sorry for the late post.
