Northeast Comanche Tribe held a 3-day fly-in on the second weekend of June, with 14 attending. Friday evening, after we all checked in at the Nantucket Inn, their van delivered us to town for dinner at Arno’s for a nice house salad followed by a choice of steak au poivre or lobster crusted codfish and dessert. Delicious!
Saturday morning, after a nice breakfast at the Inn, we were picked up for a guided island bus tour, with a very knowledgeable local schoolteacher driver. She stopped often to explain more of Nantucket’s history and mentioned many little known bits of information. The bus dropped us off at the Nantucket Whaling Museum where we saw presentations on whaling and its history on Nantucket. Afterwards there was free time to stroll and lunch in town.
The Inn provides hourly shuttle vans to and from town, so transportation was no problem.
Dinner Saturday night was at AK Diamonds, a well-known steakhouse near the Inn. Again a salad, a choice of 12 oz sirloin steak or shrimp scampi followed by generous desserts, and again delicious!
On Saturday afternoon we held a workshop on basic formation flight, along with other topics of interest, in preparation for a planned formation flight the next morning. However the low ceilings on Sunday made us scrub the actual flight. In fact, some of us elected to stay over and depart on Monday. A tough call, but a real PIC is up to the task – “Sorry, honey, but we’ll just have to stay one more night on the island.” All in all it turned out to be a great time on the Grey Lady!
