Whale Log in Fog

Ocracoke
There is a large piece of driftwood on the Ocracoke shoreline that has made its way over time to rest close to the dunes. From there it’s protected from most high water, though the winds move the sands around it. The log, more or less shaped like a whale, is carved with initials in many places and often serves as a bench for lovers, or at least lovers of the sea.
