Friday Afternoon/Evening Photos |

The 2006 Nantucket Christmas Stroll started out balmy but very windy which resulted in another pretty rough ride on the 12 noon trip of the Hy-Line fast ferry Grey Lady (same as 2005). Subsequent trips grew progressively worse with the Grey Lady leaving for the last time at 7:30 p.m. for Hyannis with the remaining trips canceled due to very rough conditions. Friday evening was a mix of dry spells and wind blown driving rain. The SSA Flying Cloud did not make trips Friday evening/night because of high winds and large waves. |

Saturday |

Saturday's weather was sunny, brisk, windy and cold. Perfect weather except for the wind. The "Find Your Twin And Win" game was canceled again this year. There were a lot of disappointed people roaming Main Street. This is the second year in a row this has happened. Hello Nantucket Merchants Association where are you? Perhaps it's time for someone else to step in here and save something very important to the stroll. |

Sunday morning turned out to be cold and sunny with relatively calm winds. The ride home was much smoother than on the way over on Friday afternoon. |
