Hot Day and Stinging things in the Water

Today was quite hot all over the outer banks. We went to the beach at around noon. The water was warm, but after a few minutes we had to escape--things were stinging us! Couldn't see anything. We consoled ourselves by going to get a little something to eat which turned out to be a tasty fresh yellowtail tuna filet. We came back to the villa and did some work, and then went across the causeway into Manteo to go on a sunset sailing trip on the Downeast Rover

We got on the boat


It was chock full of people, but we were in the after area and it was amiable and not crowded. The young woman who was crewing on the Rover said that we had probably encountered a combination of sea lice and dismembered jellyfish. We hope they will be gone in the morning.

Here are some pictures.







How 'bout those old salts. Then we had to get a little something to eat and even though they were out of softshell crabs we found some other fish and consoled ourselves with the homemade key lime pie.
