Yeah, we've been on the SQ to Ocracoke, well not really, we've been on the Ocracoke to SQ ferry. That counts, right?
It's your bucket list not mine! But yeah, I'd say if you rode each ferry in one direction it still counts. 
A year or so ago we took the Sans Souci Ferry that crosses the Cashie river close to Windsor, N.C. It's a cable ferry, they have this heavy steel cable stretched across the river and the ferry is attached to the cable. The ferry only holds 2 cars. It's the only cable ferry run by the NCDOT.It's your bucket list not mine! But yeah, I'd say if you rode each ferry in one direction it still counts.
Interesting that you mention that area because, if you are a golfer, there is a course around there that should be on your bucket list called Scotch Hall Preserve. It is a beautiful, challenging course with great views of the Albemarle Sound.
1. Ride the NC Cycle "Mountains to the Coast" bike ride. It's a week long trip. Covers 50+- miles per day. The the time of year it takes place and my work schedule hasn't allowed it up to this point. Will definitely do it once I retire.
2. Visit every state in the Union. I'm just a little over half way at 27.
3. See a game in every MLB stadium. I've only been to 4 so far so there's a long way to go.
4. Live long enough to see my first grandchild. I'm 63 with 2 sons ages 35 and 28, the older one married a little over a year. The married couple are really into their careers so nothing on the horizon there and the younger one has plenty of female friends (don't know if any are with benefits) and he's just enjoying the bachelor life. His work does require him to travel to Switzerland and the US west coast quite often for extended periods and I'm not sure how that would sit with a wife.

I have a couple of friends who do the bike ride every year and they love it.
You need to move #5 to #10! Having been through Ivan, a Cat 3, several miles from the beach, your odds are slim to none of making it through a Cat 5 on the beach! Unless you're in a specially designed house/structure, get far, far away from a Cat 5!
I kind of figured that but I just wanted to let the golfers on the board know about it. Most of us golfers have a sort of "course bucket list" of places we would love to play. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of them a lot of us never will be able to play.
I like this list minus the deep sea diving portion.
As for the hurricane, they are extremely powerful to witness. I'm a weather junkie by nature. Could easily be a storm chaser if I lived out west. Living at the coast, I have experienced many hurricanes. We shelter at a local church roughly 2 miles from the coast. During the storm, we sit outside in the entrance to the church. It usually blocks all the wind and rain so we get to watch the storm in its fury. Witnessing all that terrible destruction and having the eye pass over you is a sight I will never forget.
The biggest I've ever been through was a decent Cat 2 when I worked on Wrightsville. The management asked for volunteers to ride the storm out on-site, and I always did...during the storm, several times, I'd walk out onto the beach just to feel it. Really hard to describe, but that was probably the most peaceful setting I've ever been in.

good list. Hope you complete it. I always said I wouldn't mount a bass less than 10 lbs, so far the best I've done is a 9.2.
