Ferry to Ocracoke on OBX

Wednesday, August 28 – We finished our drive to the coast this morning, arriving in Swan Quarter, NC to take the ferry for two and a half hours across Pamlico Sound to Ocracoke Island.  This was especially exciting for Sandy, since this was her first car ferry!


While on the boat we made a new friend in Kevin, a cop from Denver, who is doing a motorcycle road trip, and rode all the way from Denver on his bike!

Once the boat starts sailing, passengers can get out of their cars and hang out on the upper deck or in the interior passenger lounge.  We sat outside in the back talking to Kevin and one of the crew members, and got laughing about this emergency axe hanging on the wall.  Did it get used recently??  Or, as my colleague Mallory comments on Instagram, is Dexter here??  (It was appropriate that I was wearing my Dexter hat...)
