All work and no play...but you've all heard that before. Finally, Jim got to get a bit of R&R. Here he is enjoying the view from the Wauwinet Hotel way out at the tip of Nantucket. We rented a SmartCar and drove out on a Sunday. Drinks and munchies were definitely in order. Previously that day we we lucky enough to visit a private home on the extreme other end of the island. This is the home of Jim's client. Built on the spit of land called 'Ester's Island' the place is extremely private. We had to make a twenty minute hike on the beach to get there. No cars allowed. We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed the sun and open breeze. Very quiet and peaceful. The home is the model of 'living off the grid'. Solar power etc. Pictures coming.
On our way back to the boat we toured the town of Siasconset. This is the town famous for rose covered cottages. A true beach town sitting directly on the Atlantic. Here's Bob standing by the local timekeeper. It may be hard to tell in the picture, but the clock is really a giant sun dial. No working parts, just shadows.
Our final stop was to a beach bar/restaurant closer in to town. Once again it was drinks and munchies. All the fabulous and beautiful people were gathering for cocktails. It was fun to see people dress up for a change. No swimsuits and t-shirts.
Oysters anyone?
