WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES FOR THE WALKERS TO BOARD. THANK GOODNESS YOU CAN BRING CARS ON THIS FERRY,
ALL YOU CAN RENT ON NANTUCKET ARE
MOTOR SCOOTERS OR BICYCLES, GUESS I WOULD BE STAYING CLOSE TO THE PIER.
WELL, HERE SHE COMES, SHIPS ARE ALWAYS SHE. ANY OF YOU OLD NAVY MEN KNOW WHY? BEAUTIFUL MORNING, SUN JUST COMING UP, WHAT A NICE TRIP THIS WILL BE.
WELL, WE DIDN'T GET OFF AT MARTHA'S VINEYARD
BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO NANTUCKET FIRST, THEN TAKE THE LATER FERRY
AND SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE VINEYARD. THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE MOST OF THE DAY
TO SEE EVERYTHING IN BOTH PLACES.
THIS IS THE ISLAND AND THE ORANGE SPLASH ON THE MAP IS WHERE
THE FERRY LANDS. THE NEXT PICTURE IS WHERE WE COME IN AND DOCK.
THAT'S A PRETTY SIGHT, NANTUCKET HARBOR.
THIS IS WHAT NANTUCKET IS ALL ABOUT.
WHALERS LIVED IN THESE LITTLE CAPES HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO.
THEY ARE SO QUAINT AND SO WELL KEPT. NANTUCKET IS ALL COBBLESTONE STREETS
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE SHIPS USED FOR BALLAST, AND JUST LEFT THEM HERE.
SUCH A PRETTY SIGHT, SAILING OFF THE LAST POINT OF LAND
FOR MANY MILES ACROSS THE SEA.
TIME FOR THE FERRY OR WE WON'T SEE MUCH OF THE VINEYARD.
QUICK TRIP ACTUALLY, DIDN'T SEEM LIKE TWO HOURS.
BUT THERE ARE THE RED CLIFFS OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
NO WONDER THE INDIANS LOVED THESE ISLANDS.
MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE A TRIP IN CANOES.
QUITE A THING TO SEE RIGHT OFF SHORE ISN'T IT?
ACTUALLY, WHALES ARE VERY COMMON HERE.
EVERYONE GET TO GO SHOPPING AT THE "BLACK DOG"
MADE FAMOUS BY OUR PRESIDENT, BILL CLINTON?
THIS IS OUR HOME FOR THE NIGHT.
ONCE OWNED BY A FAMOUS WHALER, CAPTAIN DEXTER. IT REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL COLONIAL HOME. SEE YOU ALL FOR THE EARLY MORNING FERRY
BACK TO THE BIG ISLAND.
WHAT A GORGEOUS SUNSET OVER THE VINEYARD. WE'LL REMEMBER THAT ONE. GOOD NIGHT ALL.
WELL GANG, HERE SHE COMES AGAIN AND OUR TRIP TO THE ISLANDS IS
ALMOST OVER. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK THROUGH CAPE COD,
THIS FERRY TAKES US IN TO NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS. THE HOME OF THE INFAMOUS LIZZIE BORDEN
DRY LAND EVERYONE. NO ONE GOT SEASICK. THAT'S AMAZING. WHAT A GREAT GROUP OF TRAVELERS YOU ARE.
THIS THE STREET WHERE LIZZIE BORDEN LIVED, TAKEN AT THE TIME SHE LIVED HERE. NEW BEDFORD HAS CHANGED A LOT SINCE THEN.
NOW THAT WE ARE ON LAND, I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU MY HOMETOWN OF WRENTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS. ABOUT ONE HOUR FROM HERE.
IT IS A QUIET LITTLE TYPICAL NEW ENGLAND TOWN. NO GROCERY STORE. NO FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. JUST TRYING HARD TO STAY THAT WAY.
WHY DON'T WE HEAD OUT TO SEE THE OTHER END OF MASSACHUSETTS. IT IS VERY DIFFERENT.
CLICK FOR THE BERKSHIRES.
