Welcome back to Nantucket! Honestly, all you need to know about Sconset is that you’ll be walking through the backyards of amazingly gorgeous homes and gardens on the popular bluff walk, with Sankaty Head lighthouse waiting for you at the end. You’ll then enjoy the walk back to town through charming neighborhoods and the restaurant Chanticleer as your reward! Enjoy these pics …

I hopped back on The Wave to pick up my luggage before heading to the airport for what I thought would be an 8pm flight to JFK. The grey lady had other plans! After the flight got canceled, due to weather, around 6:30pm, a few of the other passengers and I concocted an alternative way to get back to the mainland. We all booked the last ferry to Hyannisport at 9:30. I got a 1- 1/2 hour Uber ride over to Providence, RI, slept in a very nice hotel for 5 hours and then took the 6:40 train from Providence to NY Penn Station. What a worldwind that was …. with these fun girls waiting for me at the other end ….

You cannot direct the wind, but you can adjust the sails!
