Sitting here on battery back up with no power. Winds gusting at 50MPH down the ICW. Just talked to the owner of River Forest Marina in Belhaven and they have water in the office. Most of the heavier wind went South of us. Just waiting for storm to pass playing Chess.

FORTIFIED ROOF - Posted By: Bentmtn on 9/23/2023
The roofing company started our new roof Saturday and have been busy today. I'm very impressed with this entire process! So difficult with the pitch on a saltbox roof. These guys are great!

SURF FISHING GEAR ADVICE - Posted By: Beach Farmer on 9/22/2023
I was wondering if anyone could give a third rate surf fisherman some advice, I'm trying to choose between 3 reels, nothing super high end but one is a bait feeder with which I have no experience. I spent my whole life surf fishing with conventional reels that my granddaddy got at sears or the hardware/tackle shop in town. I thought I was going high tech with a spinning reel. One of our guests jus... [Read Full Post]

SALTBOX CAFE, THE - A Must-Go Place
We discovered TSBC five - six years ago and made sure we had reservations before we would come down on vacation. Now that we live here (less than 4 minutes from TSBC), we go a least once a month and sometimes twice. Between my wife and I, I think we've kind of tried everything on the menu although they are constantly changing/modifying/tweaking their recipes. We've never even had an 'OK' meal...

BLUE MOON BEACH GRILL - Back to the Blue Moon
My Better Half and I stopped for lunch on a windy, overcast day. The remodeling they've done since we were last there (created a "waiting bar", added a game room, and outdoor dining) were welcome I recall the large crowds inside and outside while waiting for a table before). Even though it was at lunch, there was a small wait... we saw that as a good thing. Sat at the bar in the main area and had... [Read Full Review]

MAKO MIKES, INC. - Mediocre At Best
We recently ate here for the first time and we won't be back. The service was excellent, so I kinda feel sorry for the servers. We both got shrimp that was utterly tasteless and kind of mushy. Frozen shrimp can be done better. Fries were OK, iced tea was godawful.

DAJIO - Very nice restaurant
I had a fish sandwich and my wife had Pesto Pasta, couldn't have been better. The staff was great also. We'll be back for sure

COASTAL CANTINA - Get the Mahi
I had the Mahi Tacos and they were great. Sort of like a small grilled filet in each one. Spicey mayo like sauce was killer. Outside dinning is a plus
