As far as the eye can see

There is no way to describe the weather we had on July 3 and 4 without invoking the word "perfect." Clear water for swimming, perfect for clamming, fishing, and being out in boats, perfectly clear night skies loaded with stars. Daytime temperatures were in the low 90's, making it only a little on the hot side for the parade, and perfect for dancing the evening away at the Community Store square. The island was full, but with so many people enjoying the beach, it felt convivial rather than crowded.

Jennifer, Fess and kids made a delightful float--I didn't know golf carts could pull trailers--with cardboard, paint, tape and a few artfully placed beach chairs and fishing poles. They deserved to win something, and I think they did.

I can't promise perfect weather next year, but I do know Ocracoke is my favorite place to spend July 4th. Blue Heron Realty can help you find the perfect vacation cottage for any season on Ocracoke Island.

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.
