Can't you rent a plane real quick? 
Good luck with your change in plans. At least there is another ferry!

Just got home from the orthopedic surgeon's office. I wasn't sure when, but he says he's replacing my shoulder joint early tomorrow morning. Looks like a long weekend in the hospital with plenty of hurt!

....the ferry we would be using (from Hatteras to Ocracoke) is not running due to excessive shoaling in the inlet. 
They don't know when it will resume running.

If you've never done it, Gene, charter a little boat to take you out to Portsmouth Island. We did this a few years ago....dropped off at one spot and picked up ~4 hours later at the other side of the island. It was an easy hike thru the deserted "ghost town" and low dunes 
I think that we took a picnic lunch along in a backpack 
Back in the day, it was a busy little outpost but then taken over as part of Nat'l Seashore in the later part of the 20th cent. IIRC, the last "grandfathered" occupant died in the 1990's or so?

This was my excitement for the weekend... (cross posted to "did our cars meet before us").
Pictured is John, the new owner of my beloved original Silverstone I told him about the vintage forum and hope he will visit here to say Hi!

Would like to go downtown and do some stuff, have dinner this long weekend, but the Metro is undergoing some major work and it will make travel on the subway a mess. So...it's a cab or don't go.

Not too much going on this weekend....that is a good thing. I need to rest up after being up until the wee hours with the NE gang this past weekend.
Long weekend here, perhaps it will be time to get a few things done around the house that I've been putting off.
