Uncle Jack and Mrs. U.J. are reaching the end of their mid-winter sojourn in South Nags Head and they are pleased to report that it was quite enjoyable in spite of freezing temperatures, incessant rain, relentless wind and overcast skies. Fortunately he had an excellent book to read which he mentioned in his last blog entry, namely Simon Winchester's newest opus, "Atlantic". It's a terrific book containing everything you could possibly want to know about the Atlantic Ocean and for the moment at least Uncle Jack is feeling very well informed about his favorite body of water. He was pleased to note that our own David Stick was one of his sources in the shipwreck department.
He is also happy to report that the sun did shine briefly yesterday afternoon which sent him and Mrs. U.J. at a brisk trot up to the beach where he took the pictures below---the only ones in his Sony after 12 days at the beach. Tomorrow it's back up 95 to Charm City where an unknown quantity of snow is expected to fall tonight, possibly followed by sleet or freezing rain. They can hardly wait.
Looking north toward Jennette's Pier from Whitecap street in South Nags Head. The seagulls are resting after hours of diving on schools of rockfish off shore. The sand is nearly as firm as a concrete sidewalk making walking a pleasure.
One of the joys of oceanfront home ownership.
