On the way

 

 

 

After about 6 months of work, cleaning and rebuilding the Goose is finally a sailboat again. We had her short-hauled to clean the barnacles off and then we were off, headed north to Ocracoke NC on the outer banks.

Ocracoke is part of the outer banks of NC (think of cape hatters) and it has a perfect harbor to drop anchor in. the place is a tourist haven and can only be reached by ferry or private boat so it’s an interesting place to visit. We went ashore and stretched our legs a bit with a walk to the lighthouse and a jaunt around town. Seeing as we got in a bit late in the day the only shopping we did was to buy some ice-cream.
