“It is a beautiful crossing, the deep notch of the harbor giving way to a wide strait of roiling currents. Gulls dive and hover over the steamship as it navigates between colorful buoys that mark safe passage through rocky shoals. In the years we’d come to the Vineyard as summer visitors, Tony and I had loved this crossing, looked forward to it. Going to the island, the boat trip marked the beginning of vacation in a tangible way, putting a stretch of ocean between stress and relaxation. Standing out on the foredeck, hugging each other, hair tousled in the salt wind, we’d breathe deep and let go of work anxiety, the tensions of the real world.”
