Weekly Tidbit:

I jokingly refer to Topsail as the Bahamas of North Carolina. Whenever we take a boat out up there with our Freedom Boat Club membership, I’m always in awe of the raw beauty in our backyard!

This was taken last weekend, and the water was still warm enough to get in! So much love for this place we get to call home.
