Man what a week this has been. We had our last good week of charters on the books and didn't get to run one at all. We had those low pressures come up the stalled front that dumped record amounts of rain inland. We had 40 knot sustained winds with gust up to 70. Now all the water from inland is draining in the sounds and the way the wind is blowing it is all coming here. The streets here in the village are flooding as I type. Hopefully we won't get anymore wind than what we have or we will get a dose of it. To top it all off, all of this hard south wind we had closed up our channel and no one could go fishing if they wanted too. The ferries to Ocracoke have been shut down for 5 days now from Hatteras. The only way on and off Ocracoke is to and from Swan Quarter or Cedar Island which I would think is probably flooded this afternoon with all this water. It sounds like the end of the week is going to get nice so hopefully we'll get to go fishing sometime soon. Hopefully they will have a channel opened up and marked for us tomorrow. The Dredge has been working hard and so have the USCG ANT (aids to navigation team) fellows. These guys keep our channel marked and buoys lit for us to get you out safely. Check back in later this week for further updates. Guess I'll go watch the tide come up some more.
