One of the things we have always talked about doing but never have was to take the ferry over to Knotts Island. Well, last Saturday, the weather was absolutely perfect and so we drove on down to the dock and hopped on the ferry. This was Kasia’s first time on a ferry boat, and my first time on a ferry boat where you could drive you car on (I’ve only taken passenger ferries before). So it was a big day for all of us… except Kara. This ain’t her first rodeo.
So with the wind at our backs, and seagulls flying high over head, we shipped out for 45 minutes of fun. It really was just a nice cruise across the sound and on to Knotts Island. Kasia was a little scared at first and didn’t want to stand on the ferry, but after a few minutes, she got used to it. She had a great time watching the birds fly after us and the water speed by. In fact, later she would comment on the whole event by saying “I was on the ferry. I was scared for one minute but then I wasn’t scared.”
Now, once you’re on Knotts Island, there isn’t really a whole lot to do. Every summer they have a peach festival, but this weekend there wasn’t anything going on. So we stopped by the two wineries on the island as well as the “general store.”
At least I guess you could call it the general store. It was really just a run down shack that sold a bunch of old things, but it had some character… and some characters working there. It’s a must see if you ever happen to be on Knott’s Island.
