Inqaku loMhleli: Ukuhamba kunokuba nzima ngoku, kodwa sebenzisa izimvo zethu zokukhuthaza ukucwangcisela kwangaphambili uluhlu lwakho lwamabhakethi alandelayo.
Emva kweenyanga zokusebenza ekhaya ngenxa yokuvalwa okubangelwa yi intsholongwane ye-Corona , usapho lwam belunomdla wokufumana indawo yokuhlala elunxwemeni ukubaleka ngokukhuselekileyo ehlotyeni. Sahlala kwisiQithi i-Ocracoke, indawo ethe qelele ecaleni kweeBhanki ezingaphandle eMantla eCarolina.
Ifumaneka kwincam esemazantsi eCape Hatteras yoLwandle lweLizwe, iOcracoke ifikeleleka kuphela nge isikhephe sasimahla , okanye ngeenqwelo moya zabucala okanye ngephenyane. Ngama-90 eepesenti esiqithi esinabasebenzi beNational Park Service (NPS), iindwendwe ziya kufumana amalwandle acwengileyo angenampembelelo incinci yomntu okanye uphuhliso. Iikhilomitha ezili-16 zolwandle olungafumanekiyo yeyona nto inomtsalane kwesi siqithi, isenza silungele ihlobo ngaphandle kwaye kude nezihlwele. Ngapha koko, ibibekwa kwi Ulwandle lwesibini olulungileyo kwisizwe ngo-2020 ngenye yeengcali eziphambili zolwandle, iindawo zokuhlwaya ezinjengeSan Diego, iOahu neMiami.
Saphefumlelwa ukuba sihambe emva kokukhumbula uhambo olukhawulezileyo losuku esalusa kwisiqithi ngexesha le ikhefu losapho eKitty Hawk kunyaka ophelileyo. Ngenxa yokufikeleleka kwayo okuncinci kunye nolwandle olude, besisazi ukuba sinokugcina umgama wethu sikhuselekile kwabanye kwaye siphephe iilwandle ezixineneyo, ngokungafaniyo nabo benza iindaba eziphambili kwiindawo ezinjengeFlorida neCalifornia. Ke, sipakishe imoto yethu ngezinto ezifunekayo elwandle kunye nokupholisa okugcwele ukutya okwenziwe ngokulula, kwaye saqhuba iikhilomitha ezingama-350 ukusuka eWashington, D.C. ukuya eNorth Carolina. Endleleni yethu, sasimamele ibali lakudala likaRobert Louis Stevenson, elithi 'Treasure Island,' malunga nabaphangi, iimephu zobuncwane, kunye nobutyebi obufihliweyo.

Emva kweeyure ezintlanu sifikile, saya kufika kwisikhululo seenqanawa saseCape Hatteras, apho samisa inqwelo-mafutha yethu phakathi kwemigca yabanye ababelinde ukuya emazantsi ngaseOcracoke. Sabamba ukuluma ngokukhawuleza ngaphambi kokuba siqhube esikhepheni kwaye sonwabele ukukhwela (ngaphantsi kweyure).
Sifikile kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya i-Ocracoke, saqhuba kangangemizuzu eli-15 sihamba nomhle, kodwa uhola wendlela obharhile esiya kwilali yesiqithi, esisabuyayo kwingqumbo yango-2019 evuswe yiNkanyamba uDorian. Nokuba kunjani, maninzi amakhaya afumanekayo kwirente kwaye idolophu idibene kunye ukwamkela ngobubele abakhenkethi. Usapho lwethu lukhethe ukuhlala kwindawo enesandi enomtsalane i-Airbnb, ebonelela ngendawo eyoluliweyo ngexesha leemvula kunye nekhitshi apho besipheka khona ukutya okulula kunye (iindwendwe zinokuthenga kwenye yeevenkile ezimbini ezikuloo siqithi ). Kulabo banee-RVs okanye umoya onomdla ngakumbi, i Indawo yekampu yeNPS Ocracoke Ixabisa i $ 28 ngobusuku, kwaye iindwendwe zingabukela ukuphuma kwelanga kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantic apha.
Ukujonga uqikelelo, besisazi ukuba iintsuku ezimbini zokuqala zokuhlala kwethu ziya kuzaliswa ziindudumo kunye nemvula. Ngaphandle kokutyhafa, size neephazili, iincwadi, iimuvi kunye nemidlalo ukuzonwabisa.
Ngeentsuku ezishushu, sasingena elunxwemeni. Kukho indawo zokupaka ezintandathu ecaleni kwendlela apho ungafikelela khona elunxwemeni. Abo banesithuthi esiyi-4x4 bangathatha izithuthi ezindleleni (ORV) ukuqhuba ngaselunxwemeni (kuyakufuneka uthenge nokuba yi- $ 120 ngonyaka okanye i- $ 50 yeentsuku ezili-10 imvume Ekuqaleni). Ukuba awunayo i-off-road isithuthi, kodwa ungathanda ukuqhuba ngaselunxwemeni, unga irente enye yeyure ezimbalwa okanye iintsuku ezimbalwa (imvume ibandakanyiwe kwixabiso). Unako kwakhona ukuqesha iibhayisekile kwaye ujonge ilali okanye ukhwele ezindleleni ecaleni kwendlela eya elwandle.
Ukonwabela ngokupheleleyo ixesha lethu elunxwemeni, sapakisha iitawuli, i-sunscreen, a Intente yeNeso , indawo epholileyo egcwele amashwamshwam kunye namanzi (khumbula ukupakisha into oyipakishayo!), ibhegi yolonwabo (isandcastle molds, frisbees, kites, kunye neencwadi), kunye ne-bug spray-kuba i-Ocracoke yipaki yelizwe, uya ufuna ukuzisa ukutshiza ukugxotha iimpukane ezilumayo kunye neengcongconi.

- Inkwenkwezi Kukho ukungcoliseka kokukhanya okuncinci kwi-Ocracoke, ebekwe kwi-24 yeemayile ukusuka kwilizwekazi, iyenza indawo efanelekileyo yokujonga iinkwenkwezi, iiplanethi, kunye neMilky Way ngobusuku obungenanyanga.

Ngeentsuku apho sasingaziva ngathi sipheka, sakhetha ukutya kwiivenkile ezininzi zelali. Ngelixa abambalwa bachacha kwiNkanyamba uDorian kunye nokucinywa okubangelwe yi-COVID-19, uninzi luvulelekile kwaye lukhuthaza iimaski kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke, ukunxaxha kwezentlalo, kunye nokuhlamba izandla rhoqo. Ukufumana indawo entle yealfresco, jonga Ukuma kweTaco Eduardo (vula i-8 ndingu-2 ntambama kunye ne-5 pm ukuya kwi-8 pm). Ukuba ujonga ubhiya wobugcisa kunye nokutya kwebha yakudala, ndwendwela Ngo-1718 ukubila iOcracoke (vula yonke imihla emva kwemini ukuya kwi-10 emva kwemini). Olunye ukhetho olukhulu kukuba Ibar yeSmacNally yaseManzi kunye neGrill (vula ukuthatha kwaye udle ngo-11 ukuya ku-9 ntambama), apho unokonwabela ukutya kwaselwandle kwasekhaya ngelixa ubukele i-kayaker kunye ne-boaters kwi-marina. Ukuphathwa ngokukhawuleza kwasekuseni, phuma ungene Inkampani yeOcracoke Coffee (vula i-7 kusasa ukuya kwi-5 emva kwemini) yekofu, i-smoothies kunye ne-pastries. Kwaye yintoni iholide yaselwandle ngaphandle kwe-ayisikhrim? Qiniseka ukuba undwendwela Izinyo elithozamisayo kunye noMthi weKhiwane wokubhaka kunye neDeli (vula i-8 kusasa ukuya kwi-6 pm) iilekese zasekhaya kunye nokuphatha.
