Holden Beach Fishing Pier
The pier is a great spot for fishing and tremendous views.
Under the pier the waves are strong.
The tide rolling in.
Stone and I passed ten dolphins on our walk this morning.

After spending some time at Mary's place, we quickly made our way back to our cottage. We were hungry so I had some shrimp in the refrigerator and quickly roasted them and served them with cocktail sauce, cheese and crackers and a few grapes. This should remove our hunger until dinner time.

The seagulls can be kind of frighting when they come right at you.
