hatteras day 2 or 3...no i'm pretty sure its 2...

everyone was up and had eaten breakfast by 7.
the wind was so strong it whistled against the sides of the house all night, and blew everything off the deck. there are whitecaps all over the sound.
it was too strong for me to feel up to going out, so i was handed all the 2000 dollar cameras they all own, put on my wetsuit, waded out to my chest, about 100 feet out in the sound, and shot probably around a thousand pictures. the boys all knew i was taking shots so they would jibe around me really close at around 20 mph, and do jumps and tricks so i could get good close ups. i haven't looked at all my shots, because i dont know how to look at them on such nice cameras... i was out there for an hour and a half. now i have work at kaia's kitchen, a local cafe where i was randomly offered a temporary job. the boys told me i can take the jeep. although there are now like 8 cars in the driveway. tons of people arrived last night. our trip near doubled in size. couple kids from maine are staying with us. talk about a long drive. theyr all still out on the water, and will be until the wind dies down. there are probably about 12 of them out. they are so far away you can only identify who is who by their sails and the tricks they know.
people here have their own vocabulary. everything is knarly and people are stoked and radical.
