Ahhh Ernesto!
Well it was a wild ride as TS Ernesto passed west of the OBX. Last night, I was in my board trunks clearing gutters as rain poured down in buckets. Had some minor flooding in the garage, but nothing too bad. I went to bed last night, not thinking about rain or flooding, but rather the wavesailing potential for today!

See the photos below from today:

Driving the 4Runner though Pea Island. Much of the road south of Oregon Inlet was flooded from all the rain the night before.

The crew is there, though the Boiler parking lot is flooded with over two feet of water!

Charlie instructing Caleb how to use the new video camera. Caleb shot a bunch of footage...stayed tuned for the next Ride Hatteras video!

Charlie heading out, though light wind on the inside. Nice surf all around!
