I just had never noticed the barge/equipment before and it almost looked as if a small "tug boat" was pushing it. I'm sure I'm off base with my observation, but I was puzzled and figured you had seen it, too. <br /><br />Appreciate the info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-23315030547564823492011-07-17T19:02:05.358-04:002011-07-17T19:02:05.358-04:00Wonder if any of those Fig Wasp, ever tried Ms. Mi...Wonder if any of those Fig Wasp, ever tried Ms. Millie Burrus' Fig Cake :)Dawn F, Taylornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-13147115895637769042011-07-17T07:15:17.095-04:002011-07-17T07:15:17.095-04:00I am guessing you are referring to a barge (with a...I am guessing you are referring to a barge (with a piece of heavy equipment) that I noticed briefly last night. It was setting a piling at the Community Store dock. I was busy working at my skiff and I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe someone else has more information.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-71828133117758637282011-07-17T07:00:49.382-04:002011-07-17T07:00:49.382-04:00Philip, this has nothing to do with figs, although...Philip, this has nothing to do with figs, although I did leave the one blog comment, but I do have a question for you.<br /><br />Yesterday afternoon, I noticed while viewing the local web-cams a barge with a large heavy equipment on it moving from boat to boat in the harbor. This morning, it has moved yet to another boat. I got a pretty good look @ it when it was working on a boat docked near the Captain's Landing web-cam, but I still couldn't determine what type of maintenance was being done. The bucket on the equipment appeared to pick up the boat so something could be done to it before setting it back into the water.<br /><br />Could you please address this question and satisfy my curiosity? <br /><br />I know.....we mainlanders can be a pain at times! Thanks for not throwing us off your blog! :)<br /><br />Many thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-15786772825682228062011-07-16T14:42:47.638-04:002011-07-16T14:42:47.638-04:00Sorry to say, Philip, I haven't read the story...Sorry to say, Philip, I haven't read the story you mention, but I understand the important role figs have had on Ocracoke Island. <br /><br />My late husband, Scott, so enjoyed eating a juicy and ultra ripe fig!<br /><br />The fig cake recipe in the local Methodist church cookbook is so moist and tasty.<br /><br />Figs are not only tasty, but are packed with "good stuff" and if one needs a little help in the fiber department, just eat a few figs! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
