On a sunny warm day on Nantucket Island I ventured to the ferry docks where I met my lovely friends Betsy and Kateeee. Being a Nantucket native it was my job to educate
these young ladies on the ways of life on my island. Upon their arrival I showed them to our humble sleeping quarters at the Languedoc Guest House on Hussy Street, a rather fitting and convenient street for those of you who know Kate, seeing as it is located in the center of town. Once we had settled in, it was time to get to work! We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around, making new friends, and reacquainting ourselves with old ones (Susan and Lance), using this time to promote our favorite sailing gear. We gave out promotional items while informing many people of our products which were being sold for Nantucket Race Week at the Haul Over. Of course we did not forget to tell them about the exciting and always fun game night that would 
be held on Friday at the Ropewalk restaurant and bar.Fortunately for us we were able to take a nice lunch break at this particular venue Thursday afternoon in order to refuel ourselves so we could continue to vigorously promote Atlantis. While we were dining with Bill Mann and his lovely wife, we were able to acquaint ourselves with the location that we would be using the following evening. We were excited about this particular location because it is on Straight Wharf which o
verlooks onto the harbor, a perfect location to catch the attention of fellow sailors.After lunch, we strolled around Nantucket town for a few more hours before returning to our quiet and comfortable sleeping quarters but not before making a quick pit stop at Murray’s Package Store on Main Street because after all, we
are sailors. After relaxing for a while and attempting to prepare ourselves for our visitors that would be arriving the next day, we decided it was time to eat dinner. We enjoyed a fine meal with tasty drinks at the Rose and Crown Restaurant on Water Street. After our wonderful meal, we met up with some friends and let loose before another enjoyable day of promotions, which would turn into quite the pirate’s adventure.ARRGHHH!

Recipe for Friday Night’s Bar Event:
- Take 3 excited Atlantis WeatherGirls.
- Add 1 ginormous lightning storm.
- Mix in 2 large metal pieces of the Atlantis prize wheel of free stuff and a high chance of getting struck by lightning.
- Stir in samples of Atlantis’ awesome jackets and vests
Mix all ingredients together in the RopeWalk bar and restaurant and you’ve got yourself one heck of a fun night on Nantucket Island!
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. We’ll start at the beginning. We began the day foraging for food on the island. We ended up at Something Natural chowing down on delicious sandwiches and Nantucket Nectar juices. After lounging about on the grass and taking some pictures on the famous boat in the front, we headed to the docks to pass out more free gea
r.Once again, many many friends were made with the passing out of free stuff. Walking around town, all of the swag we had was gone in no time to new Atlantis fans. Everyone was even more enthusiastic about seeing the awesome line we had at the Haul Over.
We headed back to 3 Hussey Street to rest up and get dressed for the event at the Rope Walk. After a quick spruce up, we began the short walk to the bar and made it JUST IN TIME before the rain came crashing down. Not even millions of small droplets of water
and lightning bolts could ruin our fun. Folks came from far and wide to challenge each other in knot tying and sailing trivia to win a spin on the infamous wheel of free Atlantis swag.The rest of the night followed as usual. We made lots of friends, gave away a lot of free stuff, learned a few new knots, and had a blast. Atlantis Weathergear definitely made a lastly impression on Nantucket!
ONE MORE TO GO!!
HAPPY SAILING!!!
AWGIRLS!
