Nantucket I

Nantucket I

We’re back, left at 6 am this morning, beat the GPS estimate to Hyannis by 35 minutes, and sailed on the ferry Eagle to Nantucket. Drove off and over to the Wauwinet. We immediately Gatsbied by having Kobe beef and short rib burgers with truffle fries on the lawn, with a Wauwinitini (a touch and slice of peach). James, the head porter is back from Jamaica after a two-year absence. Immigration gave him trouble after 18 years of continuous seasonal work here, and it took this long to straighten it out. My tax dollars at work. Most of the faces are the same, and I head for Mitch behind the bar in a few hours for my customary martini prior to dinner tonight at Toppers. (For the wine enthusiasts: Last night we ate at Providence Prime, one of my favorite steak places in New England, and we had a Berenger Private Reserved 2005 Cabernet, which was rather stunning. If you’re ever in Providence, go there and mention my name.)

A long line of impressive sail and power craft passed the ferry on the way into the harbor. Photos to follow.

Weather today is great, but the week is supposed to be problematic. My reports will continue.

Our car is lost in a sea of SUVs awaiting the ferry. The various craft passing us as we enter the harbor in Nantucket.
