Shark at Shallotte Point

 Days 52 & 53 - Sunday & Monday, September 4 & 5, 2022

Carrollwoods RV Campground and Vineyard, Tabor City, NC

This morning raindrops are still dripping off the trees onto the roof of Sweet Georgia Brown, and we see puddles all around, so this is second day that we don't take our morning walk here at the RV park.  We also discover the high speed internet furnished by the campground is not working; our hotspots provided by our phones and iPad are quickly put into use.

Oh, my!  Our spirits are dampened.  Do we need a change of scenery today?   Yes!   One day when returning from a visit with Kenny in Shallotte, we had seen a sign for Inlet View Restaurant, so we decide to check it out.

Choosing seats at the bar on the lower floor, we are given a menu, and I find two really tasty appetizers -- Sea Skins and Crab Cakes.  The bartender's shirt tells me they are promoting their shrimp today.

But first we should take a walk along the dock to see the boats.  Having sold Willie's Tug and bought a land yacht, we still enjoy seeing all the boats -- especially those in the water.  Near the boats in the second photo below is a sculpture of a shark hanging from a sign that reads, "Home of the Poor Boy's Shark Tournament, Shallotte Point, NC"

A couple from New Hampshire join us at the bar, and tell us they have come to look at real estate.  I'm sure they will find something they like, but I also know they now live in a beautiful state that we visited recently.  We remember how much we really enjoyed our stay at Copper Cannon distillery in Chesterfield, NH.

Of course the conversation gets around to dogs and their beautiful black lab, and we are too happy to tell them about Dr. Jake C. Harleton, our golden retriever, who had his own Facebook page.

Our spirits are now lifted, and we plan to return for lunch another day while we are still in this area of North Carolina.
