Martha's Vineyard is known for many things, including its incredible summer sunsets. But, there's another tradition that stems back 40 years—"squidding".

A featured article in the [Martha's Vineyard Times](https://www.mvtimes.com/2015/06/24/squidding-on-the-vineyard-is-fun-for-all-and-dinner-for-some/) takes personal accounts from locals who've passed this tradition on to their families and used it to build memories with their loved ones.

The writer, [Cathryn McCann](https://www.mvtimes.com/author/cathryn/), illustrates some great stories shared by some of the veterans who have fallen victim to "the squids’ well-known ink squirt." This article encompasses the family pastime that Town Dock embraces.
