I think I’ve settled into a pattern for publishing the My Buzzards Bay (MBB) videos. I’m going to produce one for the spring, one for the summer, and one for the fall. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We’re on Nantucket for 5 days with a flotilla of other boaters. Although the virus is still around us, there hasn’t been a single new case on the island for a month. […]
As you may recall, we went to The Chart Room for their traditional opening day weekend on May 18, except it really wasn’t. They were limited to take out service and although […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Before I get into our recent story, let me give you a quick update on the Buzzards Bay Dock and Dine situation as of June 2, 2020. As of today, you’re limited […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We’re in Vineyard Haven in October for a short autumn cruise. It’s the first time we’ve stayed here since the early 1980’s in Aquarius and the first time we’ve ever stayed at […]
Two years ago, Mrs. Horne and I went to Oak Bluffs at the end of September for an overnight, but ended up staying three days thanks to a massive fog bank that […]
