Vineyard Outing
January and February have gone by in a blur. From now on, you can look forward to weekly postings.
NEW FERRY: Last Saturday, a spectacular day, my daughter and I joined hundred of other guests to celebrate the commissioning of a brand-new ferry from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven. The M/V Island Home replaces the 57-year-old M/V Islander. The new vessel can carry 1,200 passengers and 76 vehicles, making the crossing in 32 minutes at its top speed of 16 knots. AND it has Wi-Fi access, YAHOO! It is quite spectacular, and should be put on your TO-DO lists this spring and summer.
GREAT OUTING: I often wonder why I don't do this more often: Get up early and head to Woods Hole. (Usually this means parking in one of the Steamship Authority lots in Falmouth and being bussed to Woods hole, but it's not a big deal at all.) Once in Woods Hole, stop at Pie in the Sky for coffee and some wonderful fresh-from-the-oven pastry or muffin. Walk a few hundred yards down the hill to the ferry, board, and half an hour later you're in Vineyard Haven. Need more breakfast? Walk out to the street and take a left. In about two minutes, on foot, you'll be at The Black Dog bakery, which also has all the Black Dog-logo clothing and paraphernalia you could ever want. Then head up the hill to Vineyard Haven's Main Street, and, if you like to poke around in eclectic shops, you'll be in heaven. One don't-miss spot if you have children in tow is Riley's Reads, just off the main drag. Owner Zoe Pechter is a bundle of energy and knows her kids lit, especially books with dogs as characters. If you're lucky cocker spaniels Riley and River will be there, but even if they're not kids will adore the cozy, colorful set-up. New this year will be a small selection of adult books, handpicked by Zoe.
Personally, I can find a reason to drop into just about every store on this stretch. For more books: Bunch of Grapes. For a fantastic selection of home stuff everyone can afford: Bowl and Board. For sunny-colored, Provencal-inspired table linens and tablewear: The Beach House. For a facial or other spa treatment: The Mansion House. For art: Belushi Pisano Gallery (yes, THAT Belushi). Two fun gift shops: Rainy Day and Mix Wonderful (but pricey) Clothes: The Green Room and Midnight Farm, and, truly, the list goes on and on.
BACK IN WOODS HOLE: Have dinner at the Fishmonger or Captain Kidd's, both longtime village eateries. Hop back on the bus and go retrieve your car.
Now wasn't that a nice way to spend a day?
