Washington, North Carolina ~ Ocracoke Island, North Carolina

Route:  OCW ~ W95 ~ MQI ~ OCW  180 nautical miles

I know there is Land out there someplace, the GPS can't Lie!
Flew from Warren Field (KOCW) to Ocracoke Island (W95) across the bay and had planned to just fly over Ocracoke Airport due to expected cross-winds; however the wind sock was straight down the runway SO we landed, walked around town bought T-shirts, then went to the Howard's Pub for a snack and a free ride back to the Airport!  Then flew back up the Hatteras along the beach and went to Dare County Regional (KMQI); met Craig Valentine who landed right after us in a motorized hang glider - when I asked where he was from he said "Lodi California"! Not that far from Tulare!  What a trip he must of had!


Final for W95

Katie after two beers was ready to start flying again at Howard's Pub.
