If you have a boat of any size, you know what I’m talking about. You’re Living the Dream, the wind is in your hair as you bask in the shimmering sun dancing […]
Why is boating full of drama?
Mrs. Horne Sees Maine!
Monday was a beautiful day. Since we canceled the trip to Boothbay, the next leg of our journey was just 20 miles down the coast to Newburyport, which meant we’d finally have […]
The District Restaurant and Portsmouth NH
Sunday called for a 65 mile run around Rockport with a 30 mile leg across open ocean. This was to be the farthest I’ve ever taken Vigilant in a single day and […]
Dick’s Last Resort – Yep…
We visited Boston for the first time in Vigilant Saturday and actually got here from Plymouth around 11:30. It was a very smooth ride and we really enjoyed the views of Boston […]
What are we doing in Plymouth?
Truth be told, it occurred to me a few weeks ago that our 5 night trip to Boothbay Maine was fraught with risk. It involved three 80 mile legs. No problem with […]
A Perfect Song for Buzzards Bay – Solid Ground by Rebecca Correia
I first met Rebecca Correia while performing at Turks in 2011. Even back then I knew she had a special sound that was rare among local performers. I snapped a photo of […]
Sunday at Hadleys
Last Sunday we headed out again with Kay and Steve on their final day visiting Buzzards Bay. For years we vacationed in Maui with the Kings and my plan was to rekindle […]
Start Your Trip with a visit to US Harbors
One of the reason’s I started My Buzzards Bay was provided fellow boaters along the New England coast with the kind of information I was always struggling to find before I headed […]
The Rum Liners Live at the Landing Newport!
This is a video clip that I shot for Paul and Karl on Thursday afternoon in Newport. You can read all about the rest of the trip here: A Newport Thursday
A Newport Thursday
Our dear friends Kay and Steve came to visit Thursday morning. When I say morning, I mean 4:38 AM touchdown at Boston Logan! My red eye days have come and gone, but […]
Our Honeymoon Cruise
Susan and I were married on August 16, 1980. Neither of us (or our parents) had a lot of money for a fancy wedding, let alone a honeymoon, so we had a […]
Destination – Cuttyhunk
After a great early dinner on Friday at The Chartroom and a surprisingly pleasant gray day cruise to Edgartown, we wrapped up our annual weekend with the McGrath family with a visit […]
The Ocean eats another iPhone!
It started on Block Island when my cousin Sharon’s iPhone slipped through her fingers as she was listening to me play The Weight on Vigilant. After an incredible day on Cuttyhunk yesterday, […]
The Chartroom Mudslide!
Yet another weekend with a weather forecast for a lousy Saturday and a good Sunday. I think this is the 4th or 5th in a row. To make matters worse, this is […]
The “Ocean Bay Club” Discovers the Weepecket Islands
When I’m not on Vigilant, I’m usually at The Bay Club Golf Course. It’s a really special club; it’s a great course, great people, incredible staff, and for some reason, it’s almost […]
Leaving Block Island
All good things come to an end! Our fabulous 6 day vacation on Block Island ended Wednesday. We awoke to “Sabre corner” with a beautiful 54 in the prime spot at Ballards […]
Back to the Beach on Block Island
Day 5 began with a Mexican breakfast at Caleveras. I now have enough pictures of their food to do a review sometime in the future. Mrs. Horne and I went for a […]
Circumnavigating Block Island by Scooter!
Day 4 turned out to be scooter day. Mrs. Horne says “they’re not scooters, they’re mopeds”. But I pointed out that they don’t have any pedals! Although Ballards Marina doesn’t have any […]
A Day At Ballards Beach Block Island
Day 3 on Block Island began completely differently with brilliant sunshine. The near Gale winds from Saturday were fading and turning southeast. Before the ladies woke up, I grabbed the crew some […]
Block Island in a Northeaster!
As I reported yesterday, we woke up Saturday morning to a full blown Northeaster. To make matters worse, we were sitting just a few miles north of a Tropical storm packing Gale […]
