Out and about on Harker's Island...


Philip and I took a little side trip today (on our way to the airport) and took a visit to Harker's Island.

I have never visited this little Island and it was a wonderful adventure. It is a small Island with pristine houses and gardens. We stopped at a park to take a far away look at Cape Lookout Lighthouse and decided we should visit there sometime soon as well!

On our way out we passed a beautiful old shrimp boat. Philip pulled over for me, and with camera in hand, I got to talking to Captain Oliver Lewis. He is a shrimp captain and was talking about the season.

I think this was my first time to meet a shrimp captain and I was delighted he took the time to talk with me.

Whereas he would not let me video him, he was fine with a photo. If anyone out there knows Captain Oliver Lewis, give him a 'hey' from me!

As for the traveling to the airport...more on that later!

Coming from the Port Lavaca TX area where there is a harbor full of working shrimp boats, such fascination with just such a boat is remarkable! I live in the Austin area now. I came across this blog yesterday after a Google search for ocracoke and Nights in Rodanthe.

Hi Vicki!
Thanks for the note, isn't it amazing how blogs can pull us together through all kind of stories and images. I know several of the folks in the movie (not Richard Gere!) I spend several weeks a year in Ocracoke. This summer I decided to do a video blog as well. It was lots of fun. I travel a lot, enjoy life and sharing all kinds of art, photos, poems, etc. as we dialogue through life. Lou Ann
