Don't forget about me!

Sorry, dedicated readers. There is a blog that features apologetic posts from neglectful bloggers. I'm trying not to be featured there. (I have been writing about Ocracoke Island, just on OcracokeCurrent.com).

Blue Herons Vacation site is a better place to tell you that Ocracoke is gearing up for the summer. Dajio Restaurant opened last week, and already has good crowds in the dining room and a lively group at the patio bar most nights.

Howard's Pub and Creekside Cafe both open this weekend, and within the month other island restaurants and shops will be ready to do business, including some new ones!

Even though the weather's gotten cool for the first time all winter, the first tourists are arriving, rental homes and vacation cottages are being spring cleaned and readied for the season, and it is clear our long winter after Irene is coming to an end.

The Ocracoke Dolphins won their second baseball game of the season, and their first ever victory for the program, which is new this year. Josie Winstead is a female player on the team. Today she got on base and scored! Way to be an inspiration, Josie!
