Splat and Bef's Ocracoke photos

[splat]

Went down for a long weekend with the gang, to celebrate the life of someone close to us who passed five years ago - we've done this every year since. But on to happier thoughts


Ferry was delayed, so we drank beer and listened to a World Cup game (9:49 am. We started at about 8:30 )

Best way to get around the village



Boats moored at Silver Lake



Heading out to the beach. 4wd only



Gets a little thick here



Beach shot. Dave, there were probably some rideable waves over here. Not so much down at the point where we always hang out



"Family" portrait. Me, Bef, Miss Elaine, Chris, then Katherine and Gray. Bef babysat those kids forever, and Gray and Miss Elaine might as well be parents to us. Well, parents you can drink, smoke and cuss with

Looks like a place I could love...


See any fisherman bring up some nice fish?

Drinking at 830 am, Kickass! waiting for ferry

Rob, you have no idea. Gets harder and harder to get back on that ferry to go home. Didn't see any big ones, but high summer isn't the best time to fish down there. Go in late September, early October and you'll see three times as many people on the beach, all with lines.

This kinda looks like some FL beaches I've been to. Can't really tell on the surf though. Looks like a small shore break. Glad to hear your finally drinking first thing in the morning again.

Great pics, Pat! Looks like an awesome place to get away.
