Excellent Gary. Rip it up.

DOn't forget to go see Baba at the Matterhorn. He is the Japenese Sushi master. Not to be missed..... Nor is the Shed for popcorn and beers or Gigi's for breakfast & Lunch stuff.

Sandman,

The Fast Ferry hit some big swells 3 miles out of the Harbor over Turkey weekend. Stove in a bow hatch, took on water, engine stalled. Lifejackets on, passengers on cell phones freaking out. Fortunately only 9 on board. Captain felt he almost lost the whole thing

The North Shore of Nantucket is a sight to behold in 30 + kts. BIG rollers coming over the bars that increase exponentially when the wind goes 30, 35, 40, 45, etc.
With an outgoing and a strong North wind (30+) the swells at the end of the Jetties are 8-12'. Makes for awesome windsurfing. Long groomed wind swell

(also packs a little bait on that side but you didn't hear that here.

Have an awesome time any who are heading up. Gary, don't forget the absolutely best time to hit Stowe is first chairs during the holidays. Can get a bit ugly once the gapers arrive.

Happy Holidays all !
