Land-Ho, again. Edgartown Martha's Vineyard.

tto  

Once again we got up early and headed off for the next island on our route. This time it's Martha's Vineyard. Specifically, Edgartown harbor. We had a nice southerly breeze and motor sailed past the town lighthouse, see above. We were a day ahead of schedule, so we picked up a temporary mooring and were moved to our permanent spot the next morning, see above again.
Jim now has to go to work! Of course he donned a wonderful business look and called for the launch service to pick him up. I overheard the launch guy exclaim, "Are you off for work, and from your boat?" Yes working from the Far Niente...a tough job but somebody has to do it! All the launch guy could say was "Awesome!"

Now what will Bob do to fill his time? Paint? Not yet. There is much to explore and photos to take for possible paintings. Also there is soooo much seafood to eat. Why not have lunch and watch all the beautiful craft sail past the Chappy ferry. "Sure, give me another chardonnay."
Then it was off to the the local laundry to drop off our mammoth load to dirty duds. My goodness, fifty dollars worth of stuff! Whatever, at least we now have clean sheets.
Jim has really been working hard, but I managed to get him to take Sunday off. We drove out to the Gay Head lighthouse and had a delicious lunch overlooking the Vineyard Sound. Once again it was local seafood so fresh that the fish seemed to jumping around on the plate. Yummy.

One evening we took in a chamber music concert at the Edgartown Whaling Church. Very cool. The music was amazing. Afterwords we had a late dinner of, wait for it, seafood! Perhaps we are growing gills!
Today we got a text message from our neighbors the Rogers. They are visiting Nantucket and plan to join us in Edgartown later this week. These are the same two who came to our outboard-rescue on Block Island. Can't seem to get away from home completely!
Next week we head over to Nantucket ourselves. Jim has work there as well. What a life, jealous?
