Captain Darryl Marsh, Owner of Marsh Cruises

Taking one hand off the steering wheel of his 23-foot-BayRyder Skiff, Captain Darryl Marsh expertly maneuvers through Bogue Inlet near Swansboro as he points to a spit of land that has caught his attention. Known locally as โ€œSharkโ€™s Teeth Island,โ€ the narrow strip is manmade, created when the inlets were dredged, and the deeper, shell-filled soil was brought to the surface and dumped.
QUOTES
