It finally feels as if summer is kicking in.  The sun is shiny and warm, there are clusters of people at the beach tossing frisbees and kicking around soccer balls, and traffic occasionally grinds to a halt in the village.

The annual Firemen's Ball is this weekend, and next weekend the Ocrafolk Festival fills the village with music, art and craft.  Why not come for both?  Call Blue Heron to book your Ocracoke vacation home!

Fish and Nacho Chips

The 500 plus anglers in the Ocracoke Island Surf Fishing Tournament couldn't ask for more perfect weather. Some big bluefish were caught yesterday afternoon. Last night was quiet in the village--everyone is saving up for the celebratory pig pickin' at the Community Center tonight.

And Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo.  Margaritas for everyone!

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.
