Nantucket

We left Vineyard Haven and skirted over to Edgartown for a night. Ended up anchored next to a richie rich charter boat that partied well into the evening and was fun to watch. The next morning we took advantage of a north wind and headed out to Nantucket and found plenty of room in the anchorage. Our first day ashore we rode our awesome folding bikes out to Sankaty Head light, the lighthouse that was moved in 2007 and took some pictures which we'll post when we can. Along the way we picked out which multi-million dollar "summer cottages" we could see ourselves in. On the way back we went to the Lifesaving Museum and Brandt Point light, 2nd oldest light in the country only to Boston Light. That night we met up with Anderson Ogg who is spending his summer teaching cadets to be future sailors on the Leadership 44's and gave us a tour. It was really nice to catch up and show him the Navigator. The following day brought blustery winds so we hunkered down and cleaned, did some projects we had been putting off and read. Yesterday we came ashore for laundry, lunch and window shopping, and thoroughly enjoyed the burgers at the "Brotherhood of Thieves" restaurant. Last night brought an intense cold front (pictures to follow when we can post) and driving rain (free H2O!!) with winds gusting over 30 kts. We dragged anchor a little so we re-positioned and were fine for the rest of the windy evening. Today is re-provision day, and tomorrow we plan to make tracks for Chatham and then head back west toward Buzzards Bay.
