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!
