We woke up in a hostel in Martha’s Vineyard and then we biked 5 miles to the ferry with some bike difficulty. Despite our best efforts, we missed the first ferry and we ended up having to go on the 12 pm ferry. With the extra time before the ferry, we all went shopping in Martha’s Vineyard. We had sandwiches for lunch and boarded the ferry soon after. On the boat, some people got pretzels, snacks, and other goodies. Once we got off the boat we found out Tessa’s bike was having issues. We tried fixing it but then it sadly broke more. We ended up biking after an hour with Juliet taking Tessa’s broken bike to a shop while the rest of us biked. We biked in 80 degree weather for about half an hour and then got ice cream. We then continued on for about 45 minutes till Jason’s tire was deflated and was irreparable. Rabeka tried to blow up a replacement tube which wasn’t the right size. Her efforts were sadly futile. The rest of us then sat there on someone’s lawn for an hour. During this time, many nice people asked us if we needed help with medical assistance, etc. At one point a very nice man in a truck came and offered to transport us with our bikes a short distance to our campground. We accepted this and we loaded our bikes onto the truck. We all piled into the truck, having to sit on each other, but it was better than biking uphill in 80 degree heat. We ended our night with some ramen noodles and banana bread slices.
