Saturday was our last day on the island and we decided to
take some more advice from Jim Baer so we took a leisurely drive out to Aquinnah and Menemsha,
rambled around the island in general (East Chop, West Chop), and then went back to Oak Bluffs to see
the Flying Horses carrousel which bills itself as the oldest operating
merry-go-round in North America. During the course of the day we both agreed
that this is a remarkable place and despite the distance we might well return.

| The cliffs, including the light, which is in the process of being moved to save it from erosion, a constant issue here. |

| I've not yet gotten a pen during this trip, but I have looked at several knives, including one that I let get away in Williamsburg. This is a scrimshaw (on bone) Rough Rider. The knife is so-so, but I got it for the carving. |
 |
| This Buck is a better knife and I really liked the carving done by a member of the Wampanoag tribe |
 |
| Menemsha is a working, fishing harbor |
 |
| Just liked this image, don't know the people |
