JeffM Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 (Being a Serial in 3-4 Parts) Part I New Bedford to Nantucket was to be the big trip of the summer: the farthest off shore, the longest open water passage, even the starting point of Melville Quote
JeffM Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 Sorry to be behind: technical difficulties sent me to bed. Photos for Part I 1. Stephen, in shades he chose himself. 2. The schooner Black Dog is coming into port in Vineyard Haven s car ferry departs. 3. We got to watch her furl her sails one at a time. 4. My favorite place to anchor is at the right hand end of the breakwater in the distance. It's tight, but well-protected and very close to shore and downtown. 5. Just anchored in Nantucket Harbor, the Old Man watches the gps to make sure the anchor bites. 6. "Have you ever known a bad omen to be wrong?" (The boys have had a successful shopping expedition.)

kmrmike Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Wow! What a story! I wish for your sake it would have been just a bad dream. It's too bad those challanges you face couldn't have been closer to home. With your expertise, I'm sure things will work out fine. so sorry about the damage. By the way, are you related to Stephen King?...the suspense was a killer!! Quote

Jeff MacDonald Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Wow, Jeff! That was probably a little more adventure than you'd planned! :-) I admire your "can do" attitude. And, I'm glad you and Beatrice Ann made it home safely. Looking forward to your next adventure. -- Jeff Quote
