romance and rednecks

We had our first big weekend on Ocracoke. It's starting to feel like summer! If you're catching the seasonal fever keep in mind that Blue Heron offers deals on Ocracoke vacation rentals, and visiting before schools let out is never a bad idea.

The island played host to several weddings, with women drifting around in pretty dresses. Balmy nights are scented with honeysuckle.

There was also a fishing tournament in town, with a lot of Eastern NC boys whooping it up and their girlfriends and wives taking advantage of the sunshine to sit outside and enjoy a fun-filled weekend surrounded by friends. Someone reported spotting a man drinking Natural Light at 10 a.m. That's not surprising. That's a vacation.
