This is the third time in as many weeks that I've ridden the ferry to the mainland and back in the same day. First, to close on the house. Then, to go to the Chocolate Festival, and finally today to take John to the airport in New Bern so he could fly to Ohio. Here's something that's funny but true, and unique to living on Ocracoke: he got all the way to Ohio before I got back to the island! It is not a quick trip to here from anywhere. (Unless you have your own plane, in which case it only takes 15 minutes to get here from Beaufort NC.) But the fact that getting to Ocracoke requires a time commitment is part of what makes it wonderful. The people who visit here have chosen to come, investing the time required to do so. The ones who live here, even more so.
