Headed on through the dunes down to Ocracoke lighthouse

There wasn't much open at the time and it was also getting late so I headed back to the ferry. On the way back to the ferry port there is a stop half way through the dunes where the rangers have fenced off the whole north side of the island because of the wild Steamer horses who were getting run over by tourists. Now they gather there in the afternoon to be fed treats by the Rangers who also check on their health etc. It was pretty wild weather and I'd missed the main feeding but there were a few stragglers.

| as close up as I could get |
And then had to wait for the return ferry home which was another amazing trip as it was all in the dark. Interesting to see how they navigate and they had a massive spotlight swiveling around. After an hour and a half drive home back up the island, had dinner at the most amazing diner called The Kill Devil Grill - check out the photo gallery on their website
