The wind machine

"Who put another quarter in the wind machine?" -- Chris Laks, Howard's Pub bartender

It's true: Ocracoke Island is a windy place. Yesterday was windy. The day before yesterday was windy, a warm, whistling, maddening wind. Today, on the other hand, is a candidate for lounging outside in a sunny spot. Daffodils are pushing up through the ground. Gardeners are starting to putter.

Without wind, there'd be no waves. Without waves (and tides) old shipwrecks wouldn't be exposed on the beach from time to time. I think I'll walk out to the beach to look at the waves. Windy or not, away I go.

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.
