On a lighter note, attached is a photo from 2003 where Buck and I decided to take the next generation of Misquamicut surfers on a East Coast surf trip to Cape Hatteras. Buck drove (the whole way of course) and here he is on the Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel. From the left we have Buck's son Josh boggie boarder and extraordinary golfer; chris ryan, who broke his ankle the day before we left playing hoops at Cimalore field now getting ready for six months on the Gold Coast in Australia; Neal anthes a friend of chris's who brought his electric guitar complete with amp on the trip; Andrew Barber who is the heir apparent to the Dickie's throne, and my cousin's son, Kyle, the token Narragansett representative and goofy foot ripper on the trip.
Unlike my first trip to Cape Hatteras at age 15, these kids had adult supervision,and a house on the beach instead of sleeping in the back of a station wagon. The light house may have been moved but the whole area is still a destination for the young northeast surfer. On another trip, I rode all the way with Peter Pan in the car. But that is another story.
