One of the more delightful spots we have visited is Menemsha. For me, it is the first place I ever set foot on Martha’s Vineyard, several years ago when Phil M. and I sailed over in Bluejay.

This trip, we hoped to go over on the “Bike Ferry.” This is a small flat boat that will take you across the mouth of the openning to Menemsha Pond. It wasn’t operating so we drove around.
We had a wonderful seafood lunch at Larsen’s Fish Market, then walked the docks. It is a working port, and we ate outside watching lobsterman unloading his catch.
One of the high-points was sharing the excitement of a young boy who had just caught his first squid. His energy was palpable as he told us that he “must be one of the luckiest people ever.”
