Hatteras to Ocracoke in 35 minutes

Ferry rides are a fact of life on Ocracoke, neither lamentable nor worthy of anticipation. On the short Hatteras route, locals stay in their cars. (Unless you spot someone you feel like talking to. In that case, you walk over, tap on their window, and spend the ride sitting in someone else's car.)

Last night the sunset on the 8 pm boat from Hatteras was a stunner, with lots of texture and depth and silky oranges and pinks. I got out of my car and stood in the breeze on the bow and felt blissful.

The weather system that made the sunset so beautiful has passed on, taking the wind and rain with it. This morning everything is still and calm and washed clean. My forecast: a spectacular weekend.

Oh, yes the visits with other locals on the Ferry are so welcome. I enjoy reading a book, taking a nap, or just listening to the waves hit the Ferry. I am looking forward to a great weeekend as well.

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.
