We arrived on Nantucket at 9:00 on the Friday before Father’s Day weekend. Although this is just our second year, I’m fairly certain this will be a long standing tradition. We arrived […]
Father’s Day Weekend on Nantucket
Island Kitchen – Nantucket
We ate breakfast onboard Vigilant the first day on Nantucket, but for Father’s Day, I thought it was time to check out a new breakfast spot on the island. Last year we […]
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, […]
The Club Car – Nantucket
Nantucket in June is everything you could want for an island getaway. The temperature is right around 70, all the shops and restaurants are open, but it’s not overrun with tourists – […]
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 […]
O’Brien’s Pub – Newport
We’ve walked by O’Brien’s Pub a number of times en-route to The Deck and the West Wind Marina. It always seemed crowded and as we passed Friday night, I also noticed live […]
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 […]
Sean Rivers – Live at The Deck
Saturday afternoon we enjoyed some great local music at The Deck in Newport. I shot some video of Sean Rivers, a solo singer/guitar player. I was hoping to also get some video […]
Bouchard – Newport
Somewhere between Tenacity and Vigilant, Newport Rhode Island became our go-to destination for getaway vacation cruises. At 25 mph, it’s about 90 minutes away, it’s loaded with great shopping and restaurants, and […]
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 […]
Holy Rock and Roll Revival – Live at The Ritz
The second day of our 2019 inaugural cruise found us in Oak Bluffs. We started the day with a bike ride to The Black Dog Tavern in Vineyard Haven for brunch. After […]
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 […]
The Shake Down Cruise and Brandt Cove Marina!
Yesterday was May 11 and it was our first day on the boat for 2019. Although Boston had a mild winter, April and early May were pretty much crap, but Saturday was […]
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 […]
