We enjoyed a nice, smooth crossing of the Pamlico Sound on our way to Ocracoke. Can't believe it's been so long since we were hear! Fortunately, all the familiar faces (Bill, Mike and Marco) were there waiting for us at the marina when we tied up to the fuel dock before anchoring in Silver Lake. It was great to see all of them! This has always been one of our favorite places since we began sailing and it still is. We enjoyed 3 wonderful days anchored in Silver Lake and walking around on the island visiting all the neat shops and several of the restaurants.
Almost there! The excitement level really goes up at this point of the trip!
We rented a golf cart for a couple hours on our final afternoon and here are a few pictures of places we drove to and other shots of things on and around Ocracoke.

From Ocracoke we went to our first marina in Oriental - Sea Harbour where we really enjoyed spending a week-end visiting with great friends there that we hadn't seen in a long time. The weather was perfect and we spent time cooking on the grills and sharing our meals in the clubhouse just like we used to do! Doesn't get much better!
The next several weeks are going to be busy because we have plans to meet up with lots of friends and family members at various beaches in North and South Carolina as me make our way on down the ICW.
