So far this spring, we’ve been lucky to have some beautiful beach days here on Hatteras Island.  The weather has definitely been fickle, but it seems to be on the upward trend now, and we couldn’t be happier.  The pups and us have been to the beach daily, enjoying everything it has to offer.

As always, Hatteras has delivered its spring breezes that the kiteboarding enthusiasts from across the country flock to.  Last week, the annual Wind Fest at Frisco Campground brought in people from around the world for the festivities.  Warm south west winds accompanied by the occasional honking north east have made it an exciting spring.

The surf casting this spring has been unreal- delivering a mix of drum and blues, all along the shore.  Charter boats have been heading out, throwing their share of black fin, grouper, and triggers on the dock.  There’s still lots of slots open to book your charter, so call your favorite captain to book your reservation, before they are all gone!  You won’t regret it…

Next weekend (May 2nd- 4th) is the Hatteras Storytelling Festival- check out their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HatterasStorytellingFestival for all of the weekend’s festivities.  On Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th, there will be Bluegrass Music at the Hatteras Civic Center – check out hatterasyarns.com for more info.  Should be a great weekend!

For more information, stop by the shop or give us a call, we’ll be extending our hours after the 12th of May.  Currently, we’re open Tuesday through Sunday, 6:30 am till noon.  Thanks for tuning in to this week’s Island News!
