IMPORTANT - Please READ.........

So, we are getting BIG....... It looks like the 10 AM ferry is sold out! NOT to worry though you can still go...... But, don't wait....

We are gonna have people leaving on the earlier ferry too so you won't be alone......... BUT don't wait too long or you will miss the BOAT TOTALLY...... if you don't get on either the early ferry (7:30 AM) or the 10 AM ferry you WILL NOT MAKE IT TO Wilmington until AFTER 8, most likely...... the later ferry runs at 2........ that means you will likely hit Wilmington well into the evening.... it could be worse BUT you will miss part of the festivities at Billy Goat's...........

As I said above there is nothing to be alarmed about.................... the early ferry still has plenty of spots............... I am posting this so that people DON'T MISS OUT! Once the early ferry gets full then it's time to PANIC....................

There are 4 ferries that leave Ocracoke each day......... we have been planning on getting everyone on either the 7:30 AM or the 10 AM ferry............ that gets everyone into Wilmington by 4............ The 10 AM ferry is now full BUT the 7:30 AM boat still has plenty of spots................ FOR NOW.

However, when the 7:30 AM ferry fills up then the game changes a bit............... then it's every man (or woman) for himself.................... the problem with the later ferries is that you won't get into Wilmington till late in the evening and you won't have a chase truck running behind you..................

Each ferry can hold up to 100 bikes................. BUT we are competing with cars and other drivers not on the run..................... they take spots from us too..............

BOTTOM LINE - If you want to go don't wait any longer.................... we want everyone who wants to go to be able to but we can't control the ferries.......... So, back to the original point - DON'T WAIT..........




ALSO............ If you are coming with a homie, share a tent.......... the camp site really only wants 2 tents per area........ they allow 6 people but only really want 2 tents....... so, keep that in mind........ the rangers are cool and probably won't mind but let's not tempt fate............. if you're coming with a buddy bring a large tent and SHARE the fun........

That's all!

Later.
