On Sabbatical

Friday, April 25, 2008

We are traveling again for a few days with Eagles' Wings which feels good. One of the unique sights as we travel towards North Carolina is this pontoon bridge. In all our travels in the last couple of years this is the only one we have encountered. It is called Sunset Bridge and is located in South Carolina a few miles from Cape Fear.

We didn't come this way in the fall because of low water. This trip has been much easier on us in that regard. It has been too windy to be on the outside and I know this frustrates Pat. There is alot of dredging going on in this area around Carolina Beach, Brown's Inlet, etc. Good for depth but interesting sometimes getting around the dredges.



It is nesting time again for the osprey. They will build just about anywhere. Coming up the Waccamaw River we saw their nests in trees also but they really like the markers. The trees in that area are fantastic. Hugh trees that will be hollow for half or more of their trunks yet will still be alive. They look like the trees from Lord of the Rings.


I really love to take pictures of these boats with their big nets and have a whole collection of photos.
