“But there was a 9.30 ferry. I didn’t make that one. I got on the 11.00 ferry, and I was the very last car on, and they told me I had to fold in my my side mirrors, and they just squeezed me on. I took the ferry over to Stumpy Point, and I got off at 1.05. And then I had to drive to Manteo. It was a 30-minute drive to Manteo.”
