Fishers Island to Nantucket trip

August 18, 2012 | Author admin

Friday we left Newport for the 38 nm trip down to Fishers Island to meet Mrs G, the Millers and the Hunts. That evening we had a dinner party onboard for 17 and luckily the thunder storms stayed away for the tender runs ashore.

Saturday afternoon we went out for for a sail through The Race and headed towards Montauk on Long Island. The wind co-operated and we had a great sail there and back to Fishers Island.

In the morning we headed off for the 55 nm journey to Cuttyhunk in the Elizabeth Islands. Unfortunately there was a swell running which made for an uncomfortable ride. We had the fishing lines out and attracted the attention of a shark but it didn’t find the lures to its liking. When we arrived the guests went to the beach off the sleepy little town of Cuttyhunk.

After breakfast we motored along the Buzzards Bay coast of the Elizabeth Islands until we got to Quick’s Hole where we passed by beautiful sandy beaches between the islands and headed into Vineyard Sound. We tacked our way across the sound and rounded the colourful cliffs of Gay Head before returning back around it and anchored off Menemsha, Martha’s Vineyard. It is a quaint working fishing port with a long white sandy beach and a huge harbour inland. The weather that evening was perfect to have a BBQ of Penny’s much loved ribs.

There was very little breeze in the morning so we motored along the beautiful Martha’s Vineyard coastline to Edgartown. The ladies headed ashore for some shopping and the rest went exploring the massive inland Katama Bay.

In the morning we took Mrs G for a tour up the channel towards Katama Bay but had to cut it short and return to Timoneer. We left as the sky darkened with an approaching storm and headed for Nantucket. We got delayed entering Nantucket Harbour by a whale that was in the channel and blocking all vessels from entering or leaving. Eventually it left, having caused plenty of excitement and chaos, allowing us to tie up at the dock.
