It's getting a little rusty.

A slightly used boat.

Sunset at the South Harbor Village, NC.

I like this boat!

A group of school kids came to Ocracoke Island, and went kayaking as part of the trip. This guy didn't make it back in the kayak.

Wind!

Weather ahead.

Weather behind.

Bird flying

Birds diving.

The Wright brothers flew here.

This is the first boat I saw this day.

At the corner of Chesapeake Bay.

Bulk cargo carrier.

Escort ship for the carrier, I think.

He passed the freighter.

A second escort ship. The Carrier was circling, waiting on these guys.

Nice guns.

Are you supposed to drive in between these? That's the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the background.

I mentioned this boat in an earlier Junkmail. It's the USS Swift, with a top speed of 48 knots or so.

These patrol boats were pretty diligent.

These are amphib landing craft.
