We cheated. We decided to "ride" to Provincetown, MA via ferry, actually two ferries. We boarded the Salem to Boston ferry at 7AM, arriving in Boston a little after 8AM. Next we grabbed the 9AM Boston to Provincetown, MA ferry. The seas were a bit rough, but I made it without seasickness. Yeah!
P-town, as the folks here call it, is like no other seaboard town I've been in so far. For the Michiganders, picture Mackinac Island's downtown on a crowded summer day. Now make it several blocks longer, replace the horses with cars and shrink the street's width to the size of a generous alley, that's P-town, and this is off season! I don't want to think of it during peak season.

Once we got oriented, it was fun. Lots of shops and restaurants; all the touristy stuff you would expect plus a working pier. Down at the pier you can get a boat to take you whale watching, fishing, parasailing, or out for a sunset sail. The parasailing appealed to me except it was in the low 60's. Brrr.
