Days of travel!  Benefit: Save Bristol Harbor 2-6pm today!

I am sitting in the airport in Nantucket. Somehow, though I was up early this morn, I managed to miss the ferry to Hyannis Massachusetts from Nantucket... I watched it pull out as I was dashing down the dock.... heart in my throat.. I had researched all the ferries and bus connections.. This was the only one I knew of that would get me back to Bristol on time and it was going to be close.. a 3 hour bus ride. I have to say I was upset.. at myself.. where is my head.. The woman at the counter at the Ferry was terrific and seeing my obvious need to make some kind of connection, she started to check around.  She knew, which I didn't, that there was very good small airplane services between Nantucket and the mainland. Also to Martha's vineyard which has a ferry that goes to New Bedford, much closer than Hyannis to RI.. Sure enough, after a couple of phone calls, we realized that I had a shot at better connections through the airline.. it was on the way to the airport talking to the cab driver, that I wondered about he flight service to Martha's vineyard.. some plans came to light.  The flight service is very good.  though the flight direcdt to providence was booked full, as was the flight to New Bedford, there is a flight to MV which will allow me to connect with the 1145 ferry to New Bedford, only 30min from Bristol... So sigh's beginning to come, I booked that flight to the vineyard, not too expensive..and I am on standby for a flight direct to new bedford.. so all is well.  I will arrive in RI in time to get to the benefit.. full on. Really, everyone here is great and beyond helpful.. They really were self initiating to try to help me find a way to get back...I can't say how I appreciate that.
Barry has been great.. Davison patient as a saint as I have to change plans..Tomorrow morn I head back to Nantucket.. a bit more sailing..I will be missing the Opera House Regatta Today though..Wishing the team on board ONawa the very best of luck... good luck Roy and the Barry and Will....
