June 15, 2021 Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard

Yesterday the forecast for today was mostly sunny and mid 70’s and we had planned to rent bikes to tour the island.  However we woke up to rain and the new forecast said it would be overcast all day.  Actually, it rained and was overcast early and cleared up in the afternoon.  We regrouped after our bike plan was foiled and decided to rent a car.  We dinghied into Edgartown and ubered to the airport where we picked up the car.  We went all around the island from Gay Head to Vineyard Haven to Oak Bluffs and finally took the ferry to Chappaquiddick Island.  We had lunch in Vineyard Haven at the Black Dog Tavern.  We also stopped at Alison Shaw’s gallery since we have a photo of hers that we bought when we were here about 15 years ago (for those of you who know our house it’s in the dining room).

After a lovely day we returned to the boat for a dinner of sandwiches.   We had a beautiful sunset. That evening there was sheet lighting in a cloud, something we’ve never seen, over Edgartown.  Unfortunately we couldn’t time it to get a picture.  

Here are pictures from our day.
