Marina

I am going to share memories of Hatteras with you again today. Directly across the street from the Burrus was the Marina. It had a deli where you could sit out on the dock and eat snacks or sandwiches and watch the charter fishing boats come in. That was really cool, because when they came in, they poured all the fish they'd caught all day onto the pier, so we could just sit up on the deck and drink imported beer and look at these big piles of fish. Later guys in hip boots threw them in these big barrels on wheels and pulled them in the back to be cleaned. They sold it from a room in the back. Here are some pictures of us at the marina.


Here is a really neat picture of the marina at night.

Sue loved the marina so much that she decided to name her first born girl child "Marina". She decided to name her first boy "Jacque", and her third child, boy or girl, "Baby Shamu". David put the nix on that idea, because he said he couldn't see our dad leaning over a crib and saying, "Goodnight little Baby Shamu."
