In case I haven’t mentioned it, I’ve been retired for quite a while. It wasn’t easy, I worked my tail off for 30 years in Silicon Valley during the boom years. I […]
What I Did On My Summer Vacation…
Dave Horne
Brandt Point Grill – Nantucket
I’m a huge fan of Opentable. In case you’re not “wired,” Opentable is a website and app that enables you to search, research, and book dinner reservations on your PC or wireless […]
Tiger Fish – Block Island
If you follow these pages, you’ll recall that Mrs. Horne and I made back-to-back trips to Block Island last summer in near gale conditions (see Tough Sledding To Block Island). Our first […]
Home Port Restaurant – Menemsha
Our second night of The Vigilant Island Tour found us on Menemsha at the far southeast end of Martha’s Vineyard. This is the only serious restaurant in Menemsha. It has been around […]
Crazy Weather Day – Edgartown!
If you cruise Buzzards Bay and the Islands, then you probably know that Edgartown is a Mooring venue. The town hosts dozens of moorings on Dockwa and for a mere $40 you […]
The Cuttyhunk Fishing Club Breakfast (with Menu)
Last season I discovered a very nice little island getaway cruise that began on Cuttyhunk and continued on to Menemsha and Falmouth. We’re hoping to repeat this tour with modification this summer, […]
Edgartown Diner
Unlike most of the ports we visit, Edgartown doesn’t seem to have a great spot for breakfast. I’m guessing it’s because most of the visitors are staying at B&B’s (as in Breakfast) […]
What Should Boaters Tip?
I don’t get to many “Dear Dave” emails at My Buzzards Bay, so when I do, I jump on em! Recently I got an email from Steve in Onset who asked an […]
Ushering in June – Newport Style
Last weekend Mrs. Horne and I returned to our beloved Newport for the first time since Labor Day 2018. We were scheduled to be joined by our #1 crew – Gail and […]
Isola – Edgartown
When we visited Edgartown last June, Isola was #1 on Yelp. As of today, it’s number 5, but still sporting 4 Stars. Having dined at the current #1 (Port Hunter) and #4 […]
Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon
A few days ago I published the story of our first weekend away with our dear friends Peter and Mary Lee. I also shot some video of the trip and created an […]
Port Hunter – Edgartown
As I mentioned in an earlier post, this was our first overnight stay in Edgartown. I was very excited about sampling some of the great diner venues I’d been hearing about and […]
The Journey Begins – First Overnight Voyage of 2019
Despite the dismal April and early May in New England, I’m getting a good feeling about this season. Case in point – last weekend! The weather experts toyed with us all week […]
The Newes From America Pub – Edgartown
Last June we enjoyed a wonderful little 3-day getaway with Gail and Rudy to Edgartown. Although we’d visited Edgartown 50-100 times on day trips, this was our first overnight stay. The reason […]
Menemsha – On Dockwa May 20th (this is huge)
As you may know, I’ve been polishing off the restaurant and marina reviews on spots we visited last season. You’ve seen just about everything I have about Nantucket and you’re about to […]
Wanna Join The My Buzzards Bay Flotilla?
Mrs. Horne and I have been kicking around the idea of connecting with other cruising friends this summer in an informal Flotilla. If you follow these pages, you know that we frequently […]
The Proprietors Bar & Table – Nantucket
We decided to go wild on our second night in Nantucket and try out a higher priced venue. The #4 restaurant on yelp ($$$) is Proprietors Bar and Table and off we […]
B-ACK Yard BBQ – Nantucket
Our second day on Nantucket started out cold and wet. The US Open was on TV and thanks to their great WiFi, there was no need to go out for breakfast. I […]
The Fog Island Cafe – Nantucket
If you follow My Buzzards Bay, then you know I’m a huge fan of going out to breakfast while in port. Today I continue my series of restaurant reviews for Nantucket with […]
Slip 14 – Nantucket
At the end of Day One on Nantucket, we needed dinner, but we weren’t exactly famished. And since I was still watching the budget, I went back to yelp looking for 4 […]
