Ranting...and what it's all about , Alfie...



 Dajio Restaurant -- Dinner 3rd day
Patron rants about his whatever whatever to her-ever.  I try not to overhear -- refusing to allow this intrusion. 
Stumbled on the realization a long time ago that a man (or woman) who is ranting, cares little.  They will rant to anyone within ear-shot (OUCH!!!)....but....but...a man (or woman) who says little says it selectively -- engages -- actually causing me to 'enjoy the conversation' -- soaks in/flows out, in/out.  Yeah, sharing -- what I'm talkin' bout. 
Shrimp & rice with conversation.. Pour some more. 
Mr. Rant has left building.:-)
Ms. Rant in tow :- ( Poor Ms. Rant.

   The waves were awesome this day.  They were beautiful and crashing.  Wind was cool but not cold, occasional sea spray on your face made life just little better.  We loved it:-)

This was next day leaving Ocracoke..standing on a dock. Do you see what I see?



I can see the world!!!!



Nathan and I loved watching this.
We weren't sure what it was called.
We called it wind surfing (with a kite).  The winds were
up to 40 miles per hour. 
The guys went so fast it was hard to take a good picture. 
Sometimes wind would slow and they would sink down and be as if sitting on a surfboard .
Then within a second -- whoosh the wind would pull them back up and they'd be flying again.
Can't imagine the adventuresome feel they were getting.  It was exhilarating to watch:-)
