long time obx people — when have you seen the water like this?
drop the village + year in the comments. i love hearing when people caught one of these days.
the gulf stream runs remarkably close to the outer banks and when the winds, currents and sediment all line up, our water can turn warm, clear and almost tropical.
today we swam, rainbow played, olivia caught a wave and for a little while the water looked like glass.
if you didn't know nc could look like this, now you do.
come spend a few days with us out here.
