Martha's Vineyard (6-2001)

	Mooring buoy in Vineyard Haven harbor. For those who have never seen one (and we hadn't up to a few weeks ago) here's what they look like. The large float just marks the location and has a chain going down to some kind of anchor set in the bottom. When you approach it you pick up the line with a boat hook and slip it over one of your cleats. Some of them also have "pickup buoys" which are small floats attached to the main line by a smaller line. This makes it easier to get the main line aboard. This buoy didn't have one.
	Dinghy dock in Vineyard Haven harbor. This is sort of a parking lot for the dinghys of the boats out in the harbor. Most belong to people who keep their boats permanently moored in the harbor, but a few belong to transients like us. This one is always crowded and getting a space can be a bit of a challenge.
	Edgartown harbor entrance. The ferry boat on the right side of the picture is one of a pair that continuously run between the Edgartown side and the Chappaquiddick Island side. They both take off, one from each side, cross in the middle, and land on the opposite side. Since there is only room on each side for one ferry they have to both leave at the same time. We saw a bicycle rider waved off from trying to board a ferry because the other one had just left and this one had to get going RIGHT THEN.
	Rusty laying on Ross' clothes on the table in the cabin.
	Vineyard Haven harbor. We took this picture from the top of the hill you climb to reach town (Tisbury) from the dingy landing. Attitudes is on the right side of the picture.
	Gay Head cliffs and lighthouse. These are on the western side of the island. Other than the cliffs, lighthouse, and a few gift and food stands there isn't much else there.
	Kayaker in a salt marsh in the town of Menemsha. Menemsha is a very small, very quiet town. Carly Simon has a home here.
	Vineyard Haven harbor offers a free pumpout service via this boat. Free pumpouts are nice as most places charge for them. You just call him on the marine radio and he comes over and takes away your...stuff. When he pulled up to Attitudes he asked "how much do you want?" It took me a second to recognize the joke. hahaha. Note the name of the boat, the PU-E II.
	Karen doing PocketMail in the town of Oak Bluffs. The harbor is to her immediate right. Our PocketMail makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family. We type our e-mail on the device and then find a pay phone to send it and receive new e-mail. You dial an 800 number and just hold the device up to the phone's handset. It's pretty reliable but about 1/3 of the time the communications fail and you have to do it again.
	For those of you who have never met him, this is Mr. Pumpkin. We saw this car in Tisbury and told him about it. He INSISTED that he get his picture taken in front of HIS car. He's a fairly jovial fellow who has accompanied us on all of our trips and adventures. And we always do exactly what he tells us to do...
