Used to be worse than that

Apparently the pedestrian one is suppose to be pretty quick and drop you off right into town. We might try it when we go down in September, we usually go rent a golf cart and spend the day on Ocracoke.

could be worse, you could be stuck in an office instead of sitting out in the beautiful weather.

That's why I go in the off season.

Nope.

I've been once and not interested in going back.

Not going on any boat with a ruff ocean.

This. Mrs. Aardvark and I used to go every Late September/Early October in the late eighties & early nineties, hotel-hopping up the coast usually starting at the 7-floor Ramada at Atlantic Beach, staying top-floor, open the front and back door and the wind would take the lamps off the tables sometimes. Probably four cars in the parking lot. We'd move on up the coast as the mood struck us, staying where-ever the whim hit, because everybody was pretty much empty. We'd usually stay at the Silver Lake in Ocracoke even though they were officially "closed". Ed would open the top-floor lounge and tell us to just write down what ever alcohol we took. Sometimes our last stay would be Kitty Hawk (no Hotels in Duck back then), sometimes we wouldn't make it past Hatteras. Twice our last stop was Williamsburg. Those were fun days.

Been there, done that. The locals know, the tourists get taken by surprise.

Locals get to skip the line.

Me and the wife just left there Tuesday. You have to watch the schedule closely due to sometimes there’s an hour between ferries then it alternates back to every 30 minutes. But we normally take the Swan Quarter ferry to give me a break from driving.

Yeah, but waiting in that line, knowing where you’re headed, beats the best day at work, don’t it?

While most are first come first serve the Ocracoke - Cedar Island and Ocracoke - Swan Quarter ferries did take reservations if you booked far enough out ... like 2 weeks in higher traffic times ...

oracoke to Hatteras is first come first served.
Everything else is reserved and wait to get on.

Yes you did.
Another reason not to go during peak and hurricane season.

we had never been down to outer banks before.
Great trip otherwise.

Indeed a wonderful place to visit. You just have to pick the right time of the year to visit the Banks.
We been going at least once a year for a week since 1990.

 

[Shooterb]

We will probably go again next year. But we will go to Hatteras and go across. Just to do something different.

That's why I go in the off season.

The trouble is, over the years the off season has become shorter and shorter and the on season busier and busier. Population control is the solution.
