Nantucket: the ferry

On my birthday we breakfasted and packed and rushed to the Steamship Authority in Hyannis where we made our ferry five minutes before it set out and were the last to board.






On the hour-long ferry ride, I tried my best to keep out of the way of everyone who isn't yet forty-one -- all those people busy doing things, and still somehow believing that it might all amount to something in the end.
