Certification

The skipjack Wilma Lee, a restored oyster dredging sailboat that was donated to Ocracoke Alive in February, has recently been awarded US Coast Guard certification to carry up to 44 passengers for hire.

The Wilma Lee has already started taking groups out on Pamlico Sound to enjoy Ocracoke under sail. To book a sail call Capt. Rob at 252-928-SAIL.

    Philip, Thanks for the link to ncfolk/NCFood. What a treasure trove of stoties and local recepes! I had fun going into the archives. My interest was piqued by an entry titled "Livermush, grits and eggs." I'm glad to see that scrapple exists in other parts of the country. If any one is in Lower Slower Delaware on 10/13-14, Bridgeville, DE is having their Apple Scrapple Festival.

    By the way, the egg sauce turned out top notch.

    TTFN, Bear

    Congrats to the Wilma Lee!!!! Sail on....

    NC Mainlander thinks a special song should be created for the Wilma Lee, if it hasn't already been done.
