We paused at the Pea Island Visitors station on our drive down the Outer Banks of North Carolina

We had a very nice group for the trip.  A total of nine cars and 19  members

The planned lunch stop was closed so we ate in a sandwich shop where the "chef" had an attitude.

We waited about a half hour for the ferry from Hatteras to Okracoke Island

Bill Drum's 380SL is ready for the ferry ride.

Robby Ackerman assumes the "Old Salt" poise as he watches a fishing boat speed by.

We stayed at the Anchorage Inn, an older four story hotel which overlooks the Harbor.

The view from our balcony of the boats "out front".

Another balcony view of the Cedar Island ferry pulling into the harbor.

Our visit coincided with a folk and story telling festival.  Everything was within waking distance.

Dinner was at the "Back Porch" restaurant where we ate in a screened in porch surrounded by live oak trees and oleander bushes.

The food was excellent.

After dinner we gathered on the balcony for desert.

Sunset from the balcony.

While heading back, we again waited for the ferry at the north end of Okracoke Island.

Some of us stopped at newly relocated Hatteras Lighthouse on the way back.  This is Betty Villers.
