Boston to Block Island

We departed Boston Sunday 8/11/24 headed to Provincetown, aka P Town.  We anchored there for 2 nights.  

The harbor had these cute little floating shanties and the locals would dock their boat right up to them and spend the day! 

P Town is pretty much a party town and was very busy!  

Once I got off work on Monday we headed to the beach.  We tried to claim a spot on the outside, but just as we were starting to unload the dingy a ferry sent us a 3ft wake that turned the dingy sideways and flooded it!  Unfortunately, the wave also took out Bills phone!  

Needless to say we couldn't stay there so we came back into the harbor side.....no waves.  As we were scoping out a place to set up we came across a group of seals resting just off the beach in waist deep water.  








Tuesday 8/13/24 we pulled anchor and made our way on the outside of Cape Cod to Nantucket where we anchored in the harbor for 2 nights.  Nantucket was really laid back and a lot quieter than P town.  









Thursday 3/15/24 we made our way to Martha's Vineyard.  Before anchoring we stopped at the town pier for free water and pump out.  While there the dockhand told us about the annual AG fair that was happing in the middle of the island and fireworks Friday night.  Like Nantucket and P Town, Martha's was very touristy.  

Friday morning we woke up to a flock of guls hanging out on the bow rail.    They must have spent the night there because the deck was covered in bird poop.  



Yuck!  As soon as we got back from taking Roxie up for her potty break Bill went out to try to clean up the mess.  It must be berry season, because that stuff left black stains on the deck.  






Friday morning we took a 20min bus ride from the harbor to the fair!  Just a little ways from the harbor the landscape changes to woods and farms with rolling pastures.  Beautiful!  

The fair was a decent size considering we were on an island.  Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures.  I did get a couple of the animals.....


This guy was humongous!
  

Look at these cuties!




We got back to the harbor for dinner at the Black Dog Tavern, then back to the boat to watch the fireworks!  We had a great day!








Saturday 8/17/24 we started our way back south.  What a great tour of New England! We so glad we did this trip!
