Yup, just a youngster but I remember!67 years ago on this day, October 15, 1954 at 10:00 am, Hurricane Hazel made landfall with 150mph winds on a lunar high tide, and 18 foot tidal surge; it wreaked havoc on our area. This photo was prior to landfall at the foot of Moore Street at the old yacht basin in Southport — I was young, but I remember…..!
Long one today! Had no trips! None! So Wife Betty and I went to the Aurora Fossil Museum in Aurora NC for the day! Beautiful weather, easy drive, and a great day learning, exploring, meeting new faces at the museum, and fun with lots of folks in the “Pits!”
If you have not ventured here you are missing a lot if you are a serious Shark buff! Really cool place!
Pics don’t lie and we had a ball! Home now and very tired, but I got trips to guess where this weekend? Yup,... 🦈 Shark’s Tooth 🦷 Island!
Later gator, after a while Crocodile 🐊!
Yep, really fun place to visit! 🦈
That place has changed a lot since I have been there.
Capt. Charlie’s Adventures include more tha a boat trip! You just gotta know where to look! Great day with a wonderful family.
“B” found some great specimens today while Toothing and had a blast! Cool Stuff “B”!
With the supply chain problem, going to the crazy malls, fighting the crowds, being exposed to who knows what germs, why not make it easy and enjoyable on yourself, loved ones, and searching for that most unique gift,
Consider giving an “Adventure With Capt. Charlie” gift certificate!
6 persons can enjoy an Adventure of their choice in the day or evening, doing a great outdoor outing or simply enjoying an evening boat ride! Fresh air, sunshine, just spectacular sights and views can make their day and give them the gift of life long experience they will talk about for years. Kids love these trips too, so plan ahead…..phone,text, or email for further information!

“Capt Charlie,

My kids loved you and could not stop talking about how awesome you were!!!! So from me, Jenn, Colton, Dylan and Addie thank you for an incredibly fun, interesting and amazing time. We will definitely be back!”
I love my job!
It’s all true sir!!
If I had waited till I had all my ducks in a row, I’d never had gotten across the street!
Sometimes you have to gather up your stuff and just make a run for it!
Thanks Andy Musto!

Something to ponder.....Shark’s Tooth 🦷 Island Facts!
Fun Facts:
Sharks produce 20,000-25,000 teeth over their lifetime!
Shark teeth sizes can range from 1/8″ – 3.5″or more!
The mighty Megalodon shark tooth fact: 1″ of the tooth represents 10 feet of the actual length of the prehistoric shark!
The Maus brothers got together and enjoyed clamming and eating them! Great fellows and a fun time!
Great family, great time, uggglliiii weather! But we still had a blast!

Thanks so much Capt. Charlie’s Adventures. We had the time Of our lives and we will be back!
That's a good man right there.
What do you and your grandson do on a rainy Saturday morning? Make a two piece Shark 🦈 for his room of course! Shark’s Rule!..... and they sure are fun and educational! Enjoy!
Cool
Oh my goodness 😃
That's awesome
That's awesome 🙂
Fascinating to say the least! I learn something every day! The Adventure Continues!
“To do” list is not that important anymore…..my “to be” list is now paramount! Be happy, healthier, more understanding, loving over all the other petty life issues and treasures……
My ancestors! 1000 AD discovered the New ( to them) World! So much history being rewritten! Gotta keep on learning every day!
A man saw a snake being burned to death and decided to take it out of the fire. When he did, the snake bit him causing excruciating pain. The man dropped the snake, and the reptile fell right back into the fire.
The man looked around and found a metal pole and used it to take the snake out of the fire, saving its life.
Someone who was watching approached the man and said: “That snake bit you. Why are you still trying to save it?”
The man replied: “The nature of the snake is to bite, but that's not going to change my nature, which is to help.”
Do not change your nature simply because someone harms you. Do not lose your good heart, but learn to take precautions!!!
Nuff said…..just do right!
More importantly, don’t expect a snake to change its nature!
Great words of wisdom, Cap!
Black racer did not know you from friend or foe. He’ll eat rats for years, but your hand is gonna feel it for a while in order to give him a few more years.
Learn to live! Get out and about! Find yourself while looking for the world!

The Guidry’s joined me yesterday for an absolutely beautiful morning on the Cape Fear River. First we went toothing and these three boys were professionals finding teeth and fossils galore….then a short ride to Alligator Creek which was strikingly beautiful and the “Biggun’” was there showing offf like a Las Vegas Dancer! Unbelievable!
Just a great day in the CB sun and outdoors! And mom’s new phone took some wonderful photos which she was kind enough to share! Thanks! Y’all enjoy these pictures……
My party found a most unusual tooth, not shark, on the island…. We are guessing horse or alligator! And We are going to have it studied for identification,….and then a young lady kayaker showed us an arrowhead she found on a different nearby island which she was kind enough to let me photograph! Wow!, what a day,…with two completely different new pieces! Most unusual but that is our Cape Fear River Valley for you.
Cool!
True….oh so true……liberate your mind, soul, and heart every day…..let your psyche have an “Adventure!”
Just like Shark’s Teeth, we are learning something new and exciting every day! Stay Curious my friends! Never quit learning!

The Grushcow family enjoyed a Cape Fear River cruise complete with many birds and a wonderful sunset... I know I will see them soon!
And Hannah handled the boat like a pro!
Took a morning and helped my friend David Palermi on his boat……..
