Vineyard Haven

Sunday, July 23, 2022

We are loving it here in Vineyard Haven.  That’s the name of the harbor.  The town is called Tisbury, and this was one of the earliest settlements on Martha’s Vineyard.  This is where the schooners stopped on the dangerous run from Boston to New York.  

If we look to our right, we see what looks to be a town of 250 people, and if we look to our left, we see schooners and mega yachts.  One of the schooners is flying a huge flag with the Black Dog logo. Also, notice the guy on the hydro- board in the foreground, flying a foot off the water on a winged keel

.

We planned to eat at the Black Dog Café, but this was a work day, and we’re tired.  But the boat is clean and reprovisioned, and we’ve made an attempt at repairing the dinghy.  It’s been a problem since I bought the boat – the davits that hold the dinghy in position are glued to the rubber hull, and one has come completely loose.  Fingers crossed that our repair holds.

So tonight, we have chosen to make shrimp and rice onboard.  I’m sure it will be delicious – Lynn has the touch.  She can always make something great out of nothing.

Tomorrow, we’re off to Nantucket, and I’m happy to see that the forecast has improved.  It’s just 25 miles – about 2 hours, and I’m hoping for a more comfortable day.

That’s it for tonight – just wanted to let you know that all is well.
