They had just suffered from some ma http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Marthas-Vineyard/blog-235023.html Sun Oct 28th. Cutty Hunk Pond MAThe wind is still bowing over 20 so we didnrsquot move far today. We were swinging over black and white mooring sticks and Vitto thought it was a good idea to move towards shore and be more protected. I agreed. We geared up and started the maneuvers but the anchor line was tangled and there the trouble started. I tried to untangle it from deck but couldnrsquot http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Marthas-Vineyard/blog-216690.html Sat. Oct 27th. Cutty Hunk Pond MA.Still here and we are not going any where. The wind is blowing hard and we see white caps all around us in a protected area. It would be insane for us to go outside. So we are hanging here for the day. Ximena studied a little bit. Vitto fixed the pump for the autopilot the problem was a worn out spring. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Marthas-Vineyard/blog-216679.html North America gt UnitedStates gt Massachusetts gt Cutty Hunk PondFri.

Mystic has an old ship a museum an aquarium and a village of shops to wander through. We spent some time wandering around and evjoying teh local scenery which was fun. Then we went on to Newport where we did some more walking around had a fantastic dinner where Paul tried a crab claw a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Marthas-Vineyard/blog-186608.html Got up around 7 and headed for Martharsquos Vineyard around 8 which is a little over an hour drive. Since itrsquos the Winter only one ferry is running at Woods Hole. The boat is cool and holds about 20 cars and lots of people. They charged me 6 round trip to take my bike. Talked to a local plumber who lives on Martharsquos Vineyard during the ferry crossing. He has been there his wh http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Marthas-Vineyard/blog-123783.html My time on the Vineyard is now just a memory. After just under four months on the Island of Martha's Vineyard I have taken my last flight from the MVY airport which was for all intensive purposes my home for the summer as I worked 6090 hours a week and any time I wasn't at the airport or having friends up to visit I was on a US Airways plane back to Athens.
