Welcome, Belle!
Belle's parents are Beth Tinney and Kelton Williams, who own Beach Ride Rentals in the Community Square. Beth is an RN, and will soon start working for the Hyde County Health Department doing home health care on Ocracoke. You might also recognize her as the Gooey Geisha from last week's women's arm wrestling tournament. Kelton came to Ocracoke nine years ago to work for Sebago charters, and since then he's worked for Ocracoke Parasail, and now has his own business. Beach Ride Rentals have 4-wheel drive vehicles available for rent, and they also have a small retail shop that includes DVD rentals and an ATM.
Kelton, Beth, and Olivia (who just turned 2 in May) spent the month of January backpacking in Guatemala. Belle enjoyed it from in utero.
