Quick Look at Nantucket Island, Massachusetts
Nantucket is a beautiful little island of 10k people. Eight of my Serbian friends and I are spending the summer here working at the Nantucket Bike Shop and doing some other jobs too.

My 3 month Home on Nantucket Island
I thought i'd take a moment to show ya what my summer housing looks like. Nantucket is one of the most beautiful places you will ever find. It's a 1 hour fast or 2 hour slow ferry ride from the coast Cape Cod. There are a lot of jobs on this island, but a lack of affordable summer housing options. My room costs me $200 a week for a private room off of Cambridge Street. I'm living with 6 of my co-workers: 4 Serbs, one American and an Irish gal.
Nantucket - Short Film
Nantucket is a small island in the Atlantic Ocean that is a part of the state of Massachusetts. Located just 30 miles south of Cape Cod, this island is the home of nearly 10,000 residents. However, during the summer months, tourists and seasonal vacationers make their way to Nantucket to unwind and relax. With the help of the ocean and just a few visits into town, this little island will soon find a special place in your heart.

Tour Martha's Vineyard Edgartown, Massachusetts
Driving Edgartown Main Street, Martha's Vineyard
September 2018
Edgartown is a town located on Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 4,067 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Dukes County. Edgartown has the largest area in the entirety of Dukes County and Martha's Vineyard.
History:
In 1642, Rev. Thomas Mayhew, Jr. led a group of families to start a colony on the island after its purchase by his father Thomas Mayhew. Originally called Great Harbor, it was incorporated in 1671, and is one of the two original towns on Martha's Vineyard, along with Tisbury. The town's current name is in honor of Edgar, the young son of James II of England who died at the age of three in 1671.
The younger Mayhew began his work which led to his becoming the first church planting Protestant missionary after he settled in Edgartown. A Wampanoag Indian named Hiacoomes who lived nearby became his partner in founding the churches in the Indian communities.
Edgartown is well known as having been one of the primary ports for the whaling industry during the 1800s. Ships from all over the world would dock in its sheltered bay and captains would build grand mansions for their families with ornate top floor rooms called widow's walks, which overlooked the harbor. A myth developed that wives would watch for months from these tiny rooms, hoping to see the sails of ships that would bring their husbands home from the sea. There is little or no evidence that widow's walks were intended or regularly used for this purpose. They were frequently built around the chimney of the residence, thus creating an easy access route to the structure, allowing the residents of the home to pour sand down burning chimneys in the event of a chimney fire in the hopes of preventing the house from burning down.
As more economical alternatives became available the whaling industry began to decline. By the beginning of the 20th century, its influence on the tiny town which had made its fortunes through the industry, was ended. Today the town is more known for tourism, as well as the site of Chappaquiddick, where Ted Kennedy's infamous incident took place in 1969.
Tourism:
Edgartown was an old whaling port and is now a summer and tourist destination with a multitude of houses built by whaling captains and other prominent people of prior centuries. The growth of the population over the past 25 years has led to a period of intense renewal of these old houses. Water Street along the harbor is the location of many of these Captain's Homes which line both sides of the street. The town has also encouraged renovation of historical structures. As part of this effort, the Whaling Church, a large 18th century church, has been converted to a performing arts center and the adjacent Daniel Fisher House is now used for a variety of social functions. In addition to the architecture of the town, Edgartown is easily traversed on foot or bicycle, making it attractive to tourists.
Edgartown was used as the main shooting location for the town of Amity in Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster Jaws. Many landmarks and buildings in Edgartown that were filmed in the movie can still be seen today.
The Edgartown Light at the end of north Water Street defines the entrance to the Harbor. The harbor is large and entered through a modest sized channel on the North side of Edgartown. It opens into Katama Bay, created by a barrier beach that sometimes connects the south end of Chappaquiddick to the remainder of Edgartown, The barrier beach opened during a spring storm in 2007. This has led to a 3 knot current through Katama Bay and Edgartown Harbor. This protected body of water provides ample mooring for small and large boats. The opening of the harbor will accommodate large sailing and motorized boats, but will not accommodate large ships or yachts which may anchor outside the harbor.
Another feature is South Beach, a small part of the ocean beach that runs the entire southern length of the island from Edgartown to Aquinnah. It can be reached by driving or riding the bus south from Edgartown center for approximately 2.5 miles. South Beach is a crashing ocean beach. It is a major destination for tourists. Much of the beach in Edgartown is open to the public with ample parking available.

Westport Point, Massachusetts - Historical Fishing Village Slideshow
We were on our way to New Bedford, Massachusetts to take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. With some time to spare, a friend suggested we check out the quaint village of Westport Point.
Westport Point is actually a section of Westport, Massachusetts. Westport Point houses a commercial fishing port, The Paquachuck Inn, a Post Office, and not much else.
The place doesn't look like it's changed much in over 100 years. Many of Westport Point's historical houses have plaques detailing when they were built, with the years ranging from the late 1700's to the early 1800's.
These photos were taken in the early summer and there wasn't very much going on at Westport Point. The place must be pretty sleepy over the long winter months.
Having said that, Westport Point really isn't that far off the beaten path. We took a detour from Route 195 and I would estimate the ride was about 35 minutes to the south.
Although there was no traffic during our drive to Westport Point, it looks like the area gets pretty busy in the warmer summer days. Along the highway leading to Westport Point, signs warned of beach traffic for nearby Horseneck State Beach.
All in all, Westport Point was nice to check out, although I can't imagine spending more than a couple of hours there. While I appreciate the historical nature of Westport Point, a general store would be a nice addition. We were hoping there would be a place to grab coffee, but no such luck.
But then again, too many day trippers might ruin the organic charm of Westport Point, Massachusetts.
