https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1990725873?share_unique_id=100 Today we left Ocracoke Island on the 7:30 AM ferry.   It was a 2 1/2 hour crossing to Cedar Island on the near empty ferry.   We used the wind and opportunity to dry out our tents and towels after they were drenched last night by an unexpected downpour. Most of the ride was very quiet, through a nature preserve and through relatively uninhabited lowlands.   We were assisted by a slight tailwind which lessens the load.  As we approached our lodging for the night, we were showered by another squall.   The dark clouds and thunder on the horizon made us feel lucky to get away with just a shower. We got a swim in again in the ocean.  The waves were light and regular,  very different from the storm tossed ocean of two days ago.  The water temperature must be near 80.  What a way to end a day of cycling.
