We drove over to Falmouth to meet the ferry across to the island. We arrived at the dock to meet our ferry the Island Queen. I enjoy boats and really liked this one. There were three decks. The lowest was fully enclosed from the elements, the next deck was a combination of enclosed and open and the top deck was all open except for the wheel house. I spent most of my time up there because it was the best location for photography.

There were a good number of fantastic yachts and nice homes to look at as we moved out of Falmouth toward Martha's Vineyard.
Nancy and Clara took time to visit and enjoy the fresh air during the crossing. Everyone enjoyed the ride.
We arrived at Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard after about 40 minutes on the water.
We walked about for a bit and had a nice lunch. No! Not at Nancy's Restaurant!
We met our local buses and took a very nice and informative tour of the island. Our bus dropped us off and went back for another group while we did a walk-about (and shopping).We went into a small Congregational Church with very nice Stained Glass windows.
There were plenty of shops such as this one, because I liked the sign. The store that we enjoyed most was the Black Dog. But everyone enjoyed ice cream at Mad Martha's.
Finally, it is time to board the Island Queen again for the return trip to Falmouth.
We finished the day with a meal at our motel, the Town Crier.
This finishes our final full day on Cape Cod.
