Coastal weekend. . . . .



Friday afternoon, crossing the Intracoastal Waterway - looking quite calm
 despite the heavy gusting winds. I always love crossing the bridge 
knowing the island awaits, ever changing from the weather along this coast.


The ocean almost looked like a moving landscape of snow and ice with the
 churning waves glittering in the sunlight.

We chose the scenic drive along Bogue Banks Island - part of the 
Crystal Coast - through the beach communities of Emerald Isle, Salter Path, 
Pine Knoll Shores and Atlantic Beach . . . . . . . . . 


. . . . . . . . stopping to take a few photos of the churning Atlantic along the way.
The remains of one of the piers shortened during the most recent damaging
storm along the North Carolina coast - powerful Hurricane Florence in
 September 2018. 


It was a cold 'hang on to everything - blow away the cobwebs' day with quite
 ferocious winds, but sunny and enjoyable to be out in the fresh air.

Hope your weekend is enjoyable.
