Ocracoke Day 2.1

Today was spent in Ocracoke, due to the winds and small craft warning. No alarm and enjoyed sleeping in! After I made and ate breakfast, I kayaked over to the town to walk around. Bill and Mike were already on land also walking around. I walked out to the Light House here, and into a few gift shops. Treated myself to a banana split at noon and called it lunch, since I had my breakfast later in the morning. Walked around some more, and then caught the free tram to ride back to the ferry terminal. Then walked back to my kayak. During my walking around, I also did a virtual geocache at the British Memorial. This cache was was presented exactly one year ago, and seemed appropriate for me to find it today. (Memorial day cache. https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCG5V8_brot…). During Bill and Mike’s walk, they also walked to the Lighthouse, and then over to the other side of the island to check out the beach. Somewhere along the way they came across a cemetery that had a headstone for a horse buried there, next to its owner. They also saw an interesting old truck. This evening the three of us had dinner together at Howard’s Pub. The winds did pick up pretty good today. Out of the SW, and we are anchored in the sw corner of the lake, so in a relatively calm spot.Read more
