Chandler Sawyer pointed the bow of his 21-foot Carolina skiff toward the distant silhouette of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and headed across the sound.
The sun, still low on the horizon Tuesday, shimmered across the water. An osprey flew overhead.
A warm wind blew in the faces of Sawyer and passenger Sharon Meade as the boat bumped across the waves. No traffic. No construction delays. No traffic lights. Just open water.
What a way to commute to work.
"It's a magnificent sight in the morning," said Meade, curator for the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education in Corolla.
