Wake up at 6am, drive to Great Point, catch some fish – hopefully stripers or false albacore, but probably blues. Leave around 9am and stop at Claudette’s for a breakfast sandwich and a cup of java. Go home, filet and marinade the fish, put your tennis gear on and hit the court at Jetties by 10am. Finish playing, put your suit on in the Jetties’ bath house and take a dip to rinse off. By noon, take a Nantucket Community Sailing sailboat for cruise. Around 2pm, you’re very hungry, so ride your bike to Something Natural for a delicious, whole sandwich (whole’s at SN are basically two sandwiches). Go home, pick up the truck and go to Cisco for a quick surf. Around 4pm, load up the truck, stop off at Bartlett’s Farm for a few groceries and stop at the Brewery for a (few) libation(s). Go home, unload and take an outdoor shower. Load everyone and everything up around 5pm and go to Children’s Beach to hear live music/see a live performance. Around 6:30pm, drive onto the beach at 40th Pole, crank up the bbq, crack the drinks, grill the fish that was caught 12 hours ago, play, swim and watch the sunset over the water. Go home, drink some water and crash. Wake up, repeat.
Not many places in the world where you can have a day like that and those days are not uncommon on Nantucket. Sometimes I pinch myself that I live on such an epic island – no wonder National Geographic rated Nantucket number one island in the world.
Just Another Perfect Day In Paradise!!!
