I spied this tower on the other side of the marina on Eel Pond, when I was on Main Street and I just had to walk around to check it out. So glad I did! It's a very peaceful garden across the street from the church.

The church across the street, which I believe is called St. Joseph's, had it's doors wide open and was empty so I took a quick snap from the steps.

I left Woods Hole with about 10 minutes to spare on my meter and drove over to Nobska Light. That's Martha's Vineyard across the water. It's much closer to the Cape than Nantucket is. The ferry ride is about 30 minutes.
One more thing off the local bucket list.
