Nantucket, MA

September 4-6th 2020 Labor Day Weekend

Arrived to Nantucket Harbor on Friday night just a dusk.  The harbor and town are stunning as you enter the harbor with an interesting combination of quaintness and mega yachts. Katie and Paco had a B&B a short walk uptown and we all met for some late night eats and ice cream. 

Saturday morning the weather was glorious to enjoy the island and go exploring.  Early afternoon we took a dinghy ride (about 5 miles) out to the great Point Lighthouse Beach, minus Paco who needed to attend to some business. The bay was unusually calm and the weather unusually warm so had a wonderful bay tour. Floated, swam and hiked the beach and the lighthouse & ate some delicious lobster rolls we brought along.  Later upon our return to the marina we took time to stroll the town, rest and meet for drinks & more lobster on the back deck.  Obviously we all could not get enough of the local lobster. 

Sunday we rented mopeds and toured around the island, visited a local brewery (we just got it to go as it was way busy), then lunch at a food truck Raw 162.  Harbor cruises on the dinghy & takeout lobster dinners, compliments of Emily and family, the ending a perfect day.  

Monday we said a slow good-bye to Nantucket and by later afternoon we arrived the 27 miles across the Sound back in Hyannis, MA.  Katie and Paco left for home and we explored Hyannis a bit and had a lovely dinner at Tugboats at Hyannis Marina with Jacob and Emily.
