The post on NC ferry web-site indicates ferries will not run today (Sat) either.<br /><br />I wonder what treasures the ocean will bring along the shores? As I recall from your blog, the shelling was fantastic after Irene. <br /><br />Very cold and windy in Person county, NC. too.

Actually, we are so protected on Lawton Lane & Howard Street that I don't always realize how windy it is out by the water. I also just heard that the SQ & CI ferries are not running this afternoon.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-62976866129349901502011-11-04T13:29:57.969-04:002011-11-04T13:29:57.969-04:00Philip, enjoy the info on Blackbeard and Queen'...Philip, enjoy the info on Blackbeard and Queen's Anne Revenge.<br /><br />Tell me, how's the weather? Looks a little rough along the OBX. Notice on the Ocracoke Airport web-cam water standing from the heavy rains. Winds and choppy waves has closed ferry service on the Pamlico Sound. Despite what I've seen on-line, I would love to be there.<br /><br />In October of 2009, I experienced my first Nor'eastor @ Ocracoke. I was about the only visitor walking around in the chilly, heavy rain and wind, but I found warm & inviting shelter @ VC on that Sunday afternoon. Had good conversation, delightful aroma of cedar in the air, and wonderful, interesting hand-crafted items to see in VC. Some would say I was crazy to be out in that wicked weather, but I was having a grand time. It seemed I had the island all to myself. Everyone else appeared to be inside their homes or hotel/motel rooms, out of the elements.<br /><br />It's still a most pleasant memory to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
