Saturday after Earl

We were able to attend the annual Crafts Fair after Earl. All the exibitors were local artists showing their goods. Everything from lots of jewlery, sew and knited crafts to wood working.


A women was selling hand made yarns from wool gathered from local sheep.


A visit to Lobsterville Beach was a great morning. Lots of small rocks and shells along the beach. It is located North West of Gays Head and we spent hours walking along the beach by ourselves.


Aview from the beach looking towards Menemsha. As you can see, wide open beach in a wonderful bay. Not many waves as it is protected by the western edge of Aquinnah.


The light house at Gays Head or as some call it, Aquinnah Cliffs. We didn't venture down to the beach to save it for another day. Wonderful views all around looking down to the Atlantic Ocean.


Another wonderful view of the Atlantic. The seas were quite calm considering that a big storm had just passed the day before. The biggest concern was the rip tide which was real. We never saw anyone going in too far out, a very wise thing to do.


We were fortunate to have nothing but blue skies and no rain for the remainder of our stay on Martha's Vineyard and were very tempted to stay through the end of the week.
