Tharrrrrah She Blows

   Well I so wanted to go for a little kayak paddle this morning, but the wind has put the kibosh on that idea  for now.   This is a picture of several days ago when I did get out onto the Pamlico Sound.
     Hard to believe with all that water that most of it is never deeper than about 20 feet.  And many places is 2-10 feet deep.  Here comes the ferry.
 
     He needs to negotiate the channel to get into Ocracoke without running aground
    Since it is blowing pretty good again and now out of the North (kind of cold) I will wait to kayak.  Maybe it will lay down later and I can get the kayak out later today.
    Sunrise and sunsets are so gorgeous here.
    The colors are wonderful and because it is so flat one can see everything so well.
 
Pengi is getting very excited as this weekend is the Pirate Jamboree weekend here in Ocracoke.  There will be all sorts of shenanigans going on.  There will be a pirate encampment with demonstrations of life at that time and several replica ships in the harbor.  On Saturday afternoon there will be a reenactment of the battle that ended Blackbeard's life.  Blackbeard's ship arrived a few nights ago and is docked right in front of us.
    Pengi is trying to get as close as possible to the Adventure.

    The canon salvos start everything off tomorrow.  The reenactment is Saturday afternoon. I may need to put a little distance between myself and the explosions as those of you who know me, know how I am with loud noises.  Not to fear though as Keith and Pengi will cover the events and get pictures for sure.

Keep Pengi away from those Canon's he looks ready to fire a volley broad side!

Pengi is a rebel. He was feeling right at home all weekend with his fellow Pirates running amuck.
