Ok, so I get to live some kind of dream life straight out of a Nicholas Sparks book, that's cool I'm fine with that. However whats the fun if I don't rub it in a little...My latest trip took me to Core Banks, Core Sound and Harkers Island, NC. This shot here and the others below (of the shrimp boats) were taken as we were on the way to dinner at Captain's Choice (which is a story in it's self) If you ever end-up 45min. past every body you need to check this place out. The owners are from Goldsboro, NC and have combine the best of North Carolina farm fixin's with the best local seafood. If you haven't tried "Downeast clam chowder" you don't know what you are missing!
Buy the way... most the seafood we had that night came off these boats that morning. And those clams, out or Core Sound....
So where is Core Sound? The region begins where most folks' geographic knowledge of North Carolina ends: beyond Morehead City, beyond Beaufort, to the far side of the North River. Down here things are just better, no stop lights, for the most part no cell phones, and your more apt. to see a boat then car. I mean, after all how many places are you ever you to visit where a crab pot washes up on shore and doubles as a Jello shot and beer cart...
By the age of 5 weeks the local kids are seasoned fisherman.... and the shot below, we'll call that "rush hour" which down here is the same as "happy hour"
