Today was a full day in Ocracoke. The crew got free time in the morning to explore the island. In the afternoon we we took a ferry to Portsmouth Island. Portsmouth used to be a bustling sea port and fishing village. Economic and environmental forces slowly drove people off the island. Today it is a protected National Park open for tourists like us. Besides all the cool buildings the island offers great clamming. The boys filled up a big bucket with clams that we added to our low country boil. We will spend tomorrow in Ocracoke before departing in the evening for an overnight sail to oriental.
