This might be the most tardy story I’ve ever published. After all, we’ve been back from Nantucket for almost 3 weeks and I’m finally wrapping up our Tales of Adventure. It’s not […]
Cru – Nantucket
I seldom dine on a budget, but I have to admit that “all things being equal,” I’d rather pay $3.00 for an Oyster than $4.00! And I’m sure that’s why I walked […]
or, The Whale – Nantucket
As I mentioned in earlier posts, we ventured to Nantucket for our traditional Father’s Day vacation despite a fair amount of uncertainty about dining out under the government shutdown. It turns out […]
Fifty-Six Union – Nantucket
Most restaurants in Massachusetts are still dealing with the governor’s pandemic protocols, so it’s tough to do a regular restaurant review. However, other than the fact that we had to wear masks […]
Wheels of Delight – eBiking Nantucket

Newport Weekend – Nearly Normal…
Although the pandemic has delayed the start of the 2020 boating season, I’m happy to report that it’s nearly back to normal in Newport and I suspect all of Rhode Island. Magical […]
The Soothing Power of the Sea
This is not a story about Dock and Dine – although we did. It’s not a story about visiting Sandwich (we did), or getting takeout at The Pilot House (which we also […]
The Beach House – Bristol Rhode Island
On Monday it looked like Rhode Island was finally going to lift its 14-Day Quarantine on people visiting from Massachusetts. Safe Harbor Sakonnet is the closest Dock and Dine venue we have. […]

My Corona II – A Beautiful Day
8 weeks ago the whole Covid 19 Pandemic hit me like a ton of bricks. Fear of the unknown, Stay At Home Orders, no restaurants, golf, and of course friggin masks! Pretty […]
Peace On Earth – The Final MBB Video for 2019
Season’s Greetings my friends. I’m hoping you’re all Home For The Holidays with those you love. I know many of you – like me, have migrated to warmer climates to avoid the […]

Last night we tried a new local restaurant called The Black Whale in the port of New Bedford… Yep, New Bedford is the #1 fishing port in America and the source of […]
The “No Name” Storm Slams Buzzards Bay
Last week I decided to change the service provider for my home generator to R.A. Mitchell in New Bedford. Wednesday morning they visited our home in Mattapoisett and went over the entire […]
Happy Days End With Closing Weekend At The Chart Room
Lunch by boat at the Chart Room has always been one of my top Happy Places going back to my days crewing The Aquarius. From 2001 to 2007 – when our sea […]
October Cruising and Vineyard Haven
I admit that the 2019 Cruising Season in New England is living on borrowed time. The days are depressingly short, the nights are cold, and we must constantly be on the lookout […]
