We have set up camp among beach dunes. Pretty cool campsite again tonight. This place has a bath house and everything. So we have showered and have ice on the beach all for free (ice was 3 bucks). Not much to put on the ice but our water and gatorade mix and rum are all cold. I have invented a gatorade and rum cocktail tonight. Probably should have done so sooner considering they are the only two liquids besides water we have. We will be staying an extra day out here now because we havent made it far enough to get to portsmith tomorrow. This place is just too much fun to not stay another day and the price is right. I caught my first fish of the trip today. Two small croaker but probably the first time I have fished for more than an hour since the trip started. I was trolling for a while when i had the old boat but with no fishing rod holders it makes holding a fishing rod while paddling hard. Saw some hard core kayak fisherman pull up here though which made me anxious to get back and trick out my new boat. They had every gadget imaginable on their kayaks. They also had some serious tackle for the ocean. Hillary spotted another sea turtle today while paddling through the sound. The water here is crystal clear and not very deep so it makes underwater viewing easy. Cant say enough good things about the cape lookout national seashore. But i think that is enough for one night.
