Due to the countless shipwrecks along the North Carolina coast, the Outer Banks has become known as “The Graveyard of the Atlantic.” Though we now know that the majority of these shipwrecks were due to running aground on the shallow shoals surrounding the barrier islands, previous generations had often attributed these wrecks to two entities: Poseidon and The Kraken.

Hot and Cold -- It's hot out but fishing is cold so far: all small SPOT, SAND PERCH and a "baby" SHEEPSHEAD. Water temp 68 degrees. Winds NW at 11 knots. High tides 9:49 a.m. and 10 p.m. Low tide 3:53 p.m. Clean, small summer waves. D. J. along with cousins Julie and Emily, soak in some air conditioning the other day after visiting the N. C. Aquarium on Roanoke Island..
