You have to know what you're doing. You don't run into too many fresh retirees who sign the check, take the keys and have no frackin' idea what they're doing!
Even the locals have issues with the constantly changing shallows. I can't even count the number of veteran charter captains whose boats we launched at the yard I used to work at who would come limping back in with broken shafts from running aground on a new sandbar.
If I could, I would hang out some more around Duck.
Mark down the date for the Duck Cup next June. Over the past couple years that I've done it, we've had just about every condition you could imagine. It's an easy drive from Charlotte.
