June 14, 2021 Menemsha to Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard

We were up even earlier this morning.  We finished prepping the boat to leave and were off the dock by 5:50.  As I mentioned yesterday, rain was headed our way and we hoped to be in Edgartown before it started.  We motor sailed the whole way and pulled into Edgartown harbor by about 10.  It really looked like it was going to rain.  The sky was very black but it never rained.

The harbor is very picturesque with lots of old houses with cedar shakes.  After a brief nap for both of us and some lunch we went into town.  We walked around, checking out the shops and restaurants, and Rick bought a sweatshirt at Vineyard Vines.  We spent the remainder of the afternoon on the boat.   I was reading and Rick was watching the boat traffic.

We returned to town for dinner and an ice cream for dessert.

Here are a couple of pictures of Edgartown and the harbor.

Here is our route today.
