To all,

I'm leaving Nantucket this afternoon to head back to the mainland, after a relaxing weekend of seafood, art galleries, deep-sea fishing and whale-watching. I should be home between 8-10pm tonight, depending on how bad the traffic is getting off the Cape.

Allow me to leave you with the classic limerick and some pictures...


There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.

But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man

And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;

And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,

But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,

But Nan and the man
Stole the money and ran,

And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

Of this story we hear from Nantucket,
About the mysterious loss of a bucket,

We are sorry for Nan,
As well as the man—

The cash and the bucket, Pawtucket.

P.S. - To herr Dirtman: Keep your dirty mind off this thread, I can only IMAGINE what you'd do to the lyrics.

The pics are from a barn where we saw some old farming and wooden shipbuilding tools, as well as from a historical house where they had some exhibits of uniforms from the Civil War through WWII. In addition, we also caught the tail end of the Memorial Day parade.

If it starts with "there once was a", The Dirtster can do it justice!:ernae:

Here's the last batch of pics I'm posting from my camera. Erica brought her camera along for the whale-watching and deep-sea fishing, as well as some other pics.

Rami,

I bet you will some fish stories also.

1) The big one that got away.

2)The Mermaid you couldn't catch.

3) The giant Squid.
