beaufort kayaking

michael fisk, todd hodges and i went kayaking one weekend in sept off the coast of nc near beaufort (pronounced boford not buford thats sc). the first day we got off late and paddled from the harkers island bridge to shackleford banks and camped near a maritime forest with the feral horses. later that evening as the sun is going down we realize that no one brought a flashlight and so the adventure begins.


todd hodges looking tough!!





fisk doing some serious fishing under the harkers island bridge. oh so the residents of harkers island have this distinct dialect more old english than southern it sounds almost like pirate talk. arrr

one of the feral horses released by early settlers on the barrier islands that are still managed by the national park service.





oh yeah just probably three of the saltyest, swash bucklin, son of bitches you ever met!!! the next day we paddled down the length of shackleford island fishing along the way with no success and then across the inlet to core bank. this area is all part of the cape lookout national seashore known for the famous cape lookout lighthouse the one with checkerboard pattern on it. anyway we paddled about 9 miles on saturday and were dog tired








the dudes looking good!!!
