Back in '74, I spent a summer at the Duke University Marine Labs located right on the harbor entrance. Perhaps you saw it? One of your pix's looked familiar.<br /><br />Anyway, here's my story. After classes we would gather on the dock in the evening and swim a race to the other side of the channel just after the shrimp boats came into port. We thought it a blast as we 'rode the wake behind them..... One year later... June of '75, I went to see a movie... named "JAWS". And thought back on my Beaufort days. You see the shrimpers were cleaning decks while they came into the harbor and always thought us crazy that we were swimming through their backwash. We thought it a blast. Now I realize what was no doubt following those boats!<br /><br />What one does when one is 20 years old...<br /><br />By chance did you beach at Shackelford Island? We used to sail out there for the day. An old abandoned settlement with lots to see....<br /><br />Keep the entries coming!AlmostEurope Hallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291628356137777309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863970787452281460.post-41208646606874740112014-07-07T06:00:50.081-07:002014-07-07T06:00:50.081-07:00Great place to spend the 4th!Great place to spend the 4th!Martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327300038829929448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863970787452281460.post-76495683304297989912014-07-06T16:46:02.935-07:002014-07-06T16:46:02.935-07:00Sounds wonderful there!
