This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, I am going to share some shots of the Seastreak ferry, which docks and has a terminal here in New Bedford

The ferry runs from new Bedford to Martha's vineyard and to Nantucket, we haven't taken a rid eon it yet, it is on my plans, my wife not so much she really isn't keen on ferries or anything out on the water and would rather fly there which is possible from the airport here as well but the ferry is a lot more affordable than flying, so lets see if or how we do the trip[ maybe later this year if this current wave of Covid passes and things return closer to normal

The trip to Martha's Vineyard is 24 Miles and costs $40 and to Nantucket 50 Miles and takes about 1 hour and 46 Minutes and costs $50, plus extra if you want to park your car in their car park, Valet parking $25 per day and offsite parking $15 per day, not cheap but not to bad I think

This ferry is so big that you almost don't even notice that it's already crossing over the sea, if the weather is nice, I believe 😉
I'm sure you can convince Lulu to make that trip with you 😊

Beautiful photos as always, JJ, wishing you a great weekend 🌞

Beautiful shots!

The ferries are nice, I haven’t taken one to the rich islands but I have taken some in Maine and the Bahamas. It’s a nice way to get around! Plus it’s a lot more affordable which is important lol

I haven’t taken any of the ferries here yet maybe this year

Stay dry today

Thanks, you too! My wife had to go out and she's definitely taking the side streets and staying off the highways, it's slippery as hell out there!

Here it’s not to slippery right now but by this evening when I will be dropping the grandkids back home I will have to be careful
What area are you in

Careful with the grand kiddos! Doesn't make driving fun when there's a bit of added pressure having them in there lol

We are north of Boston, so eastern mass still. At least for now, not sure where we're going to end up in the coming year lol it gets a little bit colder up here sometimes, though the cape / Bedford area is occasionally colder than us!

One of the funny things we saw the other day, it was colder here than it was in Juneau Alaska. I don't know what their weather is like but was funny to see that.

Ohh I noticed that as well I joked to my wife as she watches a lot of the Alaskan shows

That's awesome! Has she watched Homestead Rescue? That one is my absolute favorite! It's not always in Alaska but it's such an awesome show, really great family helping other people!

Ohh yes that’s one we both watch
She likes the life below zero ones as well

Seastreak? I have read seasteak at first, and I thought that it is a restaurant on the water. Haha. 😂

Lol now a restaurant on the water would be nice

Are you able to take a bike over there with you at all? I think it would be cool to visit Martha's Vineyard someday. I hope you get the chance to go as well. We have a couple of ferries that run in Michigan. Probably the most recognized are the boats that run over to Mackinaw Island.

I did a ferry trip to mackinaw there once and one other one bit I forget where that was
Not sure about bikes on this one but that would be great

Oh cool. Yeah, I guess I don't know much about Martha's Vineyard, I just know it is kind of famous.

That’s about all I know as well lol

Beautiful set! I love the color tones of the first one a lot! 😍

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

That'll be a fun ferry trip when the time arises! I'm sure it'll be a great opportunity for more photos, too!

I think so as well 😎

Nice photography.

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

Wow, I didn't know there was a ferry from New Bedford to the islands. Maybe I should take it one day - I don't think I've ever been to Martha's Vineyard.

Great pictures, thanks!

I haven’t taken the ferry yet so. Haven’t been to the islands yet but hopefully this year

Family tell us it’s pretty good

It's been a while since I rode one of those things, hehehe!
Catamaran...
I recall taking a short trip from here to San Francisco.
We decided to stop by Vallejo, and instead of driving to SF, we took the boat.
Thanks for sharing, @tattoodjay.
Take care.

I find them fun would love to do it this year

That would be a lot more fun than flying! Why wouldn't she want to do it?

She isn’t comfortable on boats had a bad experience as a teen

Oh :( ... Is she open to making good memories on one?

Wow that sky!
My hubs gets pretty sick on boats so it was quite an event when we lived on Nantucket for a year! haha
The very worst trip was coming back to the cape during a hurricane...I'd not mention that to your wife!

Ohh that must have been an experience and fir sure I won’t mention that to her

That first picture is how I always love the sky to be!

I to love skies like that
