The schedule for those two days will be as follows:

Ocracoke to Swan Quarter: 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Swan Quarter to Ocracoke: 4:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
Travelers may make reservations for the added runs online at www.ncferry.org or by calling 1-800-BY-FERRY.
The route will resume its regular one-boat-schedule on Aug. 10. The one-boat schedule will remain in place until a dredging operation can be completed in Bigfoot Slough.
