Thanks for such a warm welcome!
I am right near Wilmington, actually. About a block from the beach. It's beautiful here!
And yes, we have marvelous BBQ. Best around. We do look forward to some deep-sea fishing this summer. For now, we've been fishing a little off the pier, catching mostly whiting, puffers and a skate now and then. It's good practice, as I'm a newbie with a rod and reel. Folks around here eat the puffers, but I don't think they are worth the effort.
