    What a blast from the past. I worked for a landscaper on the Vineyard back in the late 80's. The board at 5.50 was where we would leave messages for friends. A sort of static mobile phone of its day. It was a great experience for a young bloke from New Zealand.

    It’s not dead, it’s off season. I vacation on Block Island off season for my birthday often, because I prefer to have the place to myself and the locals. During the summer it’s unbearable. I prefer to go at the end of May or the first week of June. Stores and restaurants are just opening. We like to rent bikes for the week and explore the sites, it’s nice and relaxing, without the crowds of tourists clamoring.

      Of course. The vineyard, Nantucket and cape cod are ghost towns in off season, although 5here people who live there full time.

    I have lived in New England for decades. Never had the pleasure. Of visiting the gorgeous island. I guess I have to add that. To my bucket list.😂 The first thing I'd visit would be the ginger houses/ mansions. Luv that kinda stuff. I hope you got to enjoy Martha's Vineyard. Not surprised it wouldn't be cheap. Being a tourist destination. Thanks! For the gorgeous footage. Well done!🚢👋👋

    9:17 The guideline to build a gingerbread house is simple in theory: symmetrical plan, a central one or two story porch, the presence or not of an outdoor balcony on the side, a high pitched rooftop but most importantly... The gingerbread trims. Without gingerbread trims to crown the spindles of the porch and without trimmed bargeboards, you simply don't get the characteristic style. It is reasonably personalizable to an extent, as long as the trimming is part of a cohesive gothic theme.

  • @WhenImBackInChicago

    To stop my seasickness
    (on friend's yachts, sea & lake ferries, and tour boats)
    I noticed if I'm eating something/anything, then it subsides, greatly.
    Also, for me, if I go to the bow,
    of any boat,
    I feel best, opposed to the stern.
    In Mexico, all I had in my pocket were a few Starburst chewy candies, for the local kids, however, I ended-up needing them on the boat ride, and felt less ill for the duration on the water.
    No meds; you simply need snacks. 😊

    I've heard about coastal areas like MV, Newport, RI or the Hamptons, etc, for a long time, but didn't realize until more recently how weather & terrain do affect their look & vibe. I don't know why I used to assume there wasn't much of a difference between the oceanside towns of the Mediterranean (Spain, southern France, Greece, Italy) compared with what in the US (mainly northeastern seaboard) is analogous to coastal UK.

    Yes, gingerbread houses look like they popped straight out from Hansel and Gretel's story. Pastel color theming does a lot to tone down the gothic austerity of these. I can't think of another past style with which it'd fit perfectly. It's difficult to pull off, because having a theme park dollhouse is not the desired effect.
