Before I get into Falmouth, let me point out that there are two harbors in Falmouth. The one that is actually in Buzzards Bay – West Falmouth Harbor doesn’t have shore access. […]
The Banana Split – C&C 25
By 1978, the company my father worked for since the 1950’s had finally gone public. With “a little change in his pocket”, and old knees that were growing weary of climbing into […]
Edgartown
Perhaps the most haughty Dock and Dine between Nantucket and Montauk, Edgartown has been one of my favorite Dock and Dine venues for over a decade. As reported in my Seafood Shanty […]
The Fishermen’s View Restaurant
Suppose you’re on Buzzards Bay for a little getaway and the weather is less than perfect? Let me be more specific. Suppose it’s May 13th, you just got your new boat, the […]
South Wharf Padanaram – Ch. 8
This is another one of those less than fully reliable Dock and Dine venues. I have been there a half a dozen times and never been turned away, but I’m always a […]
The Seafood Shanty – Edgartown
For years, I never tried to Dock & Dine at Edgartown. I think it was because a friend of mine told me you had to drop and anchor and wade to shore […]
Woods Hole Pilings
Woods Hole is a very special place. It can also be absolutely terrifying for the boater traveling through it for the first time. In town, it’s truly unique. Although it does have […]

Sandwich Marina (508) 833-0808 (Ch. 8)

Kingman Marine – Dock and Dine 101 (Ch. 71)
Kingman and it’s in-yard restaurant – The Chartroom has been the first Dock and Dine venue for virtually everyone I know in Buzzards Bay. Don’t get me wrong, The Chartroom is a such […]
Our Thunderbird – The Ute was a hoot!
In the mid 1960’s I convinced Clyde to buy a bigger boat. I remember driving around with him looking at used Thompsons, but I think he knew they were lake boats that […]

The Humarock Husky (AKA The Dory)

The Pilot House – Sandwich MA
Sandwich is becoming a very appealing Dock and Dine venue. Although Sandwich Marina is a little flaky and if you can’t dock, you’re pretty much screwed, I have never been turned away. […]
Anejo Mexican Bistro and Tequila Bar – Falmouth MA
Falmouth is a great Dock and Dine venue, especially for midweeks or early arrivals on Weekends. It’s also a good place to go if you want a little exercise before and after […]
Garmin Autoroute
I never had an autopilot before Tenacity. In fact, I almost didn’t spend the $5,000 or so bucks it cost, but man am I happy I did. As autopilots go, I guess […]
