Popping over to Nantucket, never been there before, honing up on my sniggery school boy rhymes....

A west London man on Nantucket
Was bailing his boat with a bucket
When stood on his ship
He thought he looked hip
He was wrong, it sank, so fck it.

Poll: Thank God The Seaons Over.

Finally read Moby Dick last year. A great book with evocative descriptions of Nantucket in the early chapters. When John Huston directed the film in the 1950s for 19th Century New Bedford he used Youghal on the coast in Southern Ireland at the border of Cork and Waterford. Always fancied a trip to Nantucket. As with Puget Sound and the Florida Quays America's extremities (fnar fnar) fnascinate me. Enjoy the trip.

Nice, have fun.

Decent amount of history around there. My sister in law lives in NYC and has been out to Montauk a few times. Wife's been to cape cod a lot.

I want to go to all those islands some time - particularly Chappaquiddick as that Ted Kennedy story/scandal there intrigues me.

Moby Dick? You can get a cream for that now.

In no particular order of merit...

Town sorta looks like it was built for a pre war movie, or Walt Disney.

Chicken Box(great boozer)

Excellent restaurant's

Sandy beaches

Cisco Brewery

Laid back atmosphere

Top notch whaling museum

More beer

Boats...running a very expensive one aground is not recommended.

Cocktails

Fast women

Coast Guard Museum

More beer

The Old Windmill...tour guide is an Aussie who could pass for Paul Hogan.

Walking / stumbling around the cobblestone streets

Real Fog...and the butterfly inducing sound of ships fog horns at night.

More beer

You get the picture?
