Well... We didn't quite make it to Ocracoke today. We tried...
The Hatteras ferry ran aground yesterday. I thought that was a freak occurrence and wouldn't happen again. We made it all the way onto the ferry and half-way through the crossing when the ferry coming the other way ran aground. So, our captain decided to turn around and head back to Hatteras. He didn't even want to risk turning the boat around to have cars drive off, so all cars had to be backed off the ferry in reverse. Apparently the water is just too low right now and they are having a tough time getting the ferries across.
Although I am sad that we didn't make it to Ocracoke Island, we ended up having a very nice day in Hatteras and a nice lunch. I am just happy that we didn't get stuck on the island, or even worse, stuck in the middle of the channel for hours waiting for the tide to rise.
Here are the few pictures that I did take today:
