Greetings from Nantucket,

It is day 7 on the Witness and we arrived on the island of Nantucket yesterday afternoon where the boats at the marina are about equal to the gross national product of six developing counties.

Our tour started over the weekend on Martha’s Vineyard where we had two beautiful days and 200 hundred people tour the Witness and learn about our clean energy work on the Cape. Sunday afternoon Chris, one of the volunteers, discovered that President Clinton was having lunch at the Black Dog Tavern right at the end of the pier where we were docked. We quickly assembled a group of us in our ‘Yes’ shirts which he would see as he came out and tried to deliver him a postcard to sign in the support of Cape Wind via secret service agents. I got to meet him and while he did not sign the card, at least he saw our message.

Woods Hole brought more days of good weather and tours of Witness accompanied by the Rolling Sunlight parked right on Main Street. While there is some local opposition, we also have residents who support our work. A NOAA employee told us she turned all the deck chairs on their vessel to face the Witness with our Yes to Wind banners because Senator Mikulski was taking a tour with them that day. Today and tomorrow we have two more open boats and then we sail to Hyannis.

Cheers,
Kate Smolski
