Halfway Point, Nantucket.

Work, work, work. Here is Jim off on his daily commute to the Edgartown office. Where is the office? Why at 'Espresso Love' of course. That's the local coffee/internet cafe where Jim can plug in and deal with all the client needs. Not to mention charge up the 'ol iphone and computer. So much for a quiet summer for Jim.
Now, on to the next destination. Nantucket. We pulled up stakes and headed out from Edgartown on a cold and overcast morning. See below. But as we made the trip across to Nantucket island, the sun came out and the seagulls were chirping.
The crossing took about four hours which is a little longer than expected. Because it was a Sunday, we didn't see much other traffic on the water. But the harbor was pretty full when we arrived and we felt lucky that we had secured an advanced reservation. A friendly harbor boat escorted us to our mooring location. They then stopped by to give us hand-outs on the island. What a really nice greeting. Very impressive.
Today the sun has gone away again and it's raining. Bob looks at it as a free 'boat wash'. There was a ton of salt on the decks. Whatever. This island is the mid-point in our adventure. So from here we will retrace the route already made. Bob had some nice news from the Virgin Islands this morning. Three more of his paintings have sold. One of them a large one. Always nice to get that kind of unexpected news. Maybe now he will start to work on those 'summer paintings' that he talked about. Can you say procrastinate? Whatever, again.
Tonight JimBob will celebrate the art sales with a dinner on shore. So many wonderful restaurants and so little time. Good thing because Bob is getting fatter by the minute!
Hope all is well with all our followers. Stay tuned as usual. Who knows what funny stuff will turn up!
