Day 34 - Ocracoke

It's been a nice day. We had to get up early this morning so that we could get breakfast (which was a welcome hot breakfast cooked by the hotel owners) and get to the ferry by 9:30. It had stopped raining by the time we rode and it was a nice 25 miles. The ferry ride was two and a half hours and gave some time to read a book and take a little nap.

Ocracoke is pretty much a tourist trap. It is a nice little island.with a lot of beach on the Atlantic side. We had lunch at a fish place and I had fried flounder, which was delicious. I spent a little time touring the town and then it started raining at about 4. It has rained pretty hard and steady all night. I just went to brush teeth etc before bed and there were clear skies, so maybe things are cleared up. It is super humid in the tent though. I am getting used to sleeping in warm humid weather.

We have to get up pretty early tomorrow to catch the 7:30 ferry back to the mainland. We are going to a different place than we sailed from this morning and we have about 65 miles to ride once we get there.
