You really are incredibly stupid. The Vineyard is not on the Cape, fool


LOL. Mr. Wannabe pilot is now a navigation expert? Martha's Vineyard is
considered part of Cape Cod, dimwit. Hence the phrase "Cape Cod & the
Islands". But once again you miss the point as you always do.


LOL indeed "Kingfish!" Before you go around flaming someone with your weird
false information, you should attempt to get a clue first. I've lived in both
Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard for many years. Martha's Vineyard is NOT
considered part of Cape Cod by anyone with any knowledge of the area. (If it
was, you probably wouldn't need to say "and the Islands" lol)

Now if you wanted to try to argue that Cape Cod was part of the islands, you'd
be....right since most of Cape Cod (e.g. everything east of the Cape Cod canal) is
an island, since it is surrounded by water and you can sail around it completely
in a boat.

Not quite. The Cape Code Canal navigation regulations require sailboats to
transit the canal under auxilliary power (i.e. motor). So, while you *can*
motor around it in a boat, you can't sail around it :-)

Words often have multiple definitions. One widely accepted definition of
"sail" is "to navigate or manage a vessel". So, if you *can* motor around
cape Cod in a boat, you CAN sail around it :-)

As you are new here, you obviously don't know the reputation of the
putz my comment was directed at. Therefore, I'll cut you some slack and
offer my thanks for your gratuitous lesson in geography : )

I've lived in both Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard for many years. Martha's Vineyard is NOT considered part of Cape Cod by anyone with any knowledge of the area.


Oddly enough most folks I know consider them one and the same. To those
of us that don't live on Cape Cod, it's just semantics.

This folk, whom doesn't live there, doesn't consider them the same by any
means. Nantucket is not 'one and the same' enought to have tried to go it
on its own in the recent past.

Yes, that is odd. A single identifiable group whose members all have the
same misconception.
