We have been to Bald Head Island twice before but never explored much beyond the marina. Yesterday we walked through the community surrounding the marina and this morning we rented bikes and explored the rest of the island. It is a really lovely vacation spot with mostly large, upscale houses. When I say large, I mean large enough for extended families or groups of families. The island is two miles from the mainland and is accessed by a ferry that comes at least every hour. There is another ferry that brings vehicles over, mostly working trucks. Residents get around the island by golf cart. George discovered yesterday that there is a surprisingly large grocery store on the island. Great news! We won’t have to take the ferry to the mainland to stock up on fresh foods.

Our great bicycles.

Ferry as seen from the marina office. Clouds from the approaching cold front are moving in. The temperature is dropping as I sit here writing this.
Our bike ride this morning was delightful. The bikes were very comfortable with fat tires. We no longer own bikes but if I did buy one, I would want one like these.
