Ocracoke Civic and Business Association is changing the venue for Wednesday, May 16th's civic affairs meeting to the Martha's Vineyard Express docked on Ocracoke. Residents and visitors will be able to take a look at the passenger ferry for Ocracoke this season.

Please meet at the Passenger Ferry Shelter located adjacent to the NPS visitor center. There will be updates from the  NCDOT Ferry Division (Jed Dixon), Hyde County, and a Commissioner Update from Tom Pahl. 

All are welcome to board the boat until 6:30pm.

The Martha's Vineyard Express, owned by Seastreak, is the passenger ferry that the NCDOT is looking to lease for the 2019 summer season. It has been going through test runs in Pamlico Sound from Hatteras to Ocracoke's Silver Lake harbor the past three days.
