October 2, 2021 - Fall Diversity - Kate Sutherland October 4, 2021
Hurricane Sam was passing to the east of Bermuda over the weekend giving us just a bit of uncertainty about how much swell would reach us here in Hatteras and if it would cause any trouble for us getting across the bar and to the sea via Hatteras Inlet. We were very happy to find […]
Saturday September 25, 2021 - Kate Sutherland September 27, 2021
Friday was a blustery day and we hoped the winds would calm enough to get offshore on Saturday...well luck was with us and Saturday morning winds were blowing about 12-17 mph from the north.

August 20 & 22, 2021 - Birding around Henri - Kate Sutherland August 26, 2021
At first glance, it seemed that Tropical Storm Henri would send some swell our way...enough to help bring some seabirds in for us but not to disrupt our trips. Little did we know the forecast was to change, as it tends to do with these tropical systems! The National Hurricane Center had this system becoming […]
