We’re in Oak Bluffs for the final four days of our 8-day cruise. We decided to head over to Edgartown and visit one of our favorite seaside eateries for lunch (19 Raw […]

Ciro and Sal’s offers North End quality Italian cuisine in a unique seaside setting. I’m fairly certain that my late brother Charles worked here 40 years ago. It’s storied history goes back […]

We’re in Provincetown after sitting out Memorial Day weekend thanks to lousy weather. We decided to try some new spots here and selected a rather eclectic spot called The Squealing Pig. It’s […]

I was just about to update all my Destination Guides for 2021 and add one for Watch Hill when I realized that I never did a report on The Ocean House Bistro […]

After a 12 mile bike ride along Ocean Drive, Mrs. Horne and I decided to try a new waterfront restaurant I discovered on OpenTable called The Reef. It’s located on Howard’s Wharf […]

We opened the 2021 season with a 3-Day cruise to Newport. It’s early May and the islands are still pretty desolate. In fact, a lot of seaside eateries aren’t even opened yet […]

We started the 2021 season yesterday with a shakedown cruise from Buzzards Bay up the Cape Cod Canal to The Fisherman’s View in Sandwich (more on the shakedown cruise later). I posted […]

We came to Plymouth for the weekend to meet up with friends who, like us, live in California in the winter and here in the summer. We spent most of Sunday morning […]

If you’ve been following us, you know that we took a weather driven detour to Provincetown a few weeks ago while traveling with Peter and Mary Lee. I had booked Smith and […]

We’re in Edgartown for the first time aboard Relentless, our new Sabre 48 Fly Bridge for Labor Day weekend. Being the last big holiday weekend of the season, all the waterfront restaurants […]

Twenty years ago we bought our first boat – the 26’ Whaler. It wasn’t much of a boat for Buzzards Bay, but if the winds blew kindly, our “Big Trip” would be […]

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 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 […]

We’re in Watch Hill for the second time. Last year it was early August, which was wonderful, but more crowded. It’s now mid-September and while summer is fading, it’s still an incredible […]
