Rookie mistake, as we learned here in Woods Hole, where the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard departs. “Never wait for a ferry,” a ferry staffer with a weathered face told us. Live and learn.
We arrived a few minutes before the 3:45 ferry but decided to pick up some bakery goods and then take the 4:10 ferry, as planned. Turns out the 4:10 was cancelled due to a lack of passengers so now we’re in the ferry tix office waiting for the 5 pm ferry. “
On this damp, grey foggy day, we drove about 1 hour 45 minutes from our friends in Branford,CT to my friend Ed’s in Cranston, where we caught up at Seven Stars Bakery over ready made but good baguette sandwiches.
Then we drove another 1.5 hours to the Palmer Ave ferry car park in Falmouth, dropped off the car and took us bus 9 minutes to Woods Hole and the ferry.
There are two popular bakeries here, each with a following. We went to the French one recommended by a friend who lives here:Maison Villatte. The other one nearby is Pie in the Sky, with excellent sandwiches and clam chowder
