Morehead City

Teaching children.

And I did that in Moorhead.

It was the British Dance Academy.

And then Anna and I met...

We were.

Yes.

We were downtown Moorhead when we began.

That made the name work.

I was sitting right here at this desk.

It's hard to believe, Keith, but we still have landlines here in Morehead City, North Carolina.

Handsets, right? Yeah.

But I was sitting right here at this desk.

It's about 120 miles long.

It runs down on the southern end into the mouth of the Neuse River, and then you can get to Moorhead City.

And then on the north end, it comes out at Oregon Inlet.

It bumps into other sounds as well, the Albemarle Sound, the Crotan Sound, the Roanoke Sound.

That's a industry in itself.

Many of the privately owned tournament fishing sport boats will be put on the back of ships literally in Morehead City and in Fort Lauderdale and other places and taken across the Gulf of Mexico through the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean.

And then they will go northward south to places like Los Reynos and Cabo and all that for some of the best bill fishing in the world.

So as they travel, we'll keep touch with them.

While there could be some significant beach erosion and coastal flooding, uh, it's not expected to bring impacts anywhere as significant as that late September nor'easter.

Yeah, strong winds will impact regions from, uh, Morehead City, North Carolina, to Atlantic City, New Jersey, on through our Tuesday.

Winds gusting 40 to 60 miles per hour.

Could see some gusts approaching 70.

Democrat Don Davis is the incumbent congressman for the first district, but he faces a bigger challenge this time after state lawmakers redrew the district last year to make it more favorable to Republicans.

The redrawn district stretches from Vance County at the Virginia border east to the Outer Banks in Morehead City.

Davis faces a rematch with Republican Laurie Buckhout, who he defeated two years ago under the old maps.

Buckhout's campaign focuses on her long career in the military, and she briefly served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for cyber policy in the Trump administration.

I mean, all of this matters and it is important.

I was just at the shipyard, Morehead.

Uh, well, I'm sorry, the port, um, [smacks lips] on the Port of Morehead City.

I mean, you're talking about over $16 billion on the impact.

The Oregon Inlet fleet is, I won't say they've caught the last mahi for the season, but, um, as they move south, Hatteras will get a, a look at them.

So will Ocracoke and then Morehead City, and then they'll be gone.

But that's a crowd-pleasing fish.

Great to eat, fun to catch.

As always, start here east of Oregon Inlet, and before I get, jump over to Oregon Inlet, let me just talk about a little bit of great billfishing down south here.

Charleston, Morehead City, great action on sailfish.

That's been a fishery we've seen the last handful of falls really kick off, and, um, we've been excited that our members have been in and on that action.

So hats off to them.
