Although it was a washout, the storm didn’t have any real impact. The wind seemed to actually diminish. The rain dripped all day but never came down hard. The storm surge never materialized. It was just a boring, drab, blah day. It was too crappy to do anything, so we just caught up on journaling.

Today was supposed to be the worst day of the storm. It turned out to be salvageable - far better than yesterday. The storm center drifted farther west then originally expected. We had a series of black storm cells interspersed with a series of sunny blue skies. The wind further diminished from yesterday. It was time to get out of the camper.
We started off at the North Carolina Aquarium located just south of Kure Beach, a tiny sand dune community that melds into Carolina Beach. North Carolina has a bunch of these aquariums dispersed throughout the state. We passed on two or three of them, but today, with the iffy weather, it seemed like a good time to check one of them out.
It was a bit pricey at $11 for seniors for the size of the aquarium. It wasn’t Shed Aquarium in Chicago or the giant aquarium in Atlanta, but on a day like today, it fit the bill nicely. The tanks were nice, but I especially like the art work of sea animals hanging on the walls.
