byob, it's ocracoke!

The rumors are at least partly true: there is a peculiar selection of booze at the liquor store on Ocracoke. It makes me feel like we're in days of yore (or maybe my thinking is addled by attending the amazing and emotional Portsmouth Island Homecoming last weekend), when people smuggled spirits in from the mainland.

So rather than vodka gimlets, this balmy evening calls for tequila and fresh lime juice in a glass rimmed with salt and sugar.

Tonight is also the vote, by Ocracoke's Sanitary District Board, on a tax to support the construction of a new fire house for Ocracoke's VFD. Elizabeth Howard always told me she was more scared of fire than she was of a hurricane, and she never left for hurricanes.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
