We decided to walk south towards the point this morning away from all the beach houses.
We walked by several people fishing and stopped and talked to most of them. Nobody was catching anything except this guy who caught a stingray.
Chuck doesn't want to have anything to do with a stingray. He was stung by the barb from a stingray about 10 years ago down in Port St. Joe, Florida, when he was fishing in the surf. It was very painful. We always thought the barb of a stingray was at the end of his tail; but we found out from this fisherman that it is right behind his body (circled below).
We continued walking down the beach past all the fisherman towards the point.
There was no one down here and the surf was much stronger.
A lot of trees and bushes had washed up on the beach and gotten stuck in the sand.
It was a really nice walk.
For about 200 yards, the sand became very soft, almost mud-like and was a red and black color on the surface.
We finally walked as far as we could go without having to wade out in the ocean.
And then we turned around and headed back.
There were a lot more big shells here away from all the beach houses.
By the time we walked back to the car, we had walked about 4 1/2 miles total.
We decided we had to go back to Burger Burger again to see if those burgers were really the best we have ever eaten or if it was just because we had not eaten a hamburger out for dinner in a long time. The burgers were just as good today as they were yesterday. :)
After we left Burger Burger, we checked out the parking lot to see if there would be room to park the motorhome and car so we could stop there for lunch again tomorrow after we leave Hatteras. :)
