The world according to me....

Beautiful autumn weather continues in this part of the world. This week, I was able to take part in an aerial survey of commercial fishing activities in the inshore waters of North Carolina. We were looking for boats putting out or hauling in gillnets and crab pots, amongst other things. My spot on the airplane meant that for some of the transects that we covered, there was little or no water to see. At these times, I could take in the landscape with my eyes or camera. It is amazing how much different the water and sound bottom look from up in the air.
