Sharing Cuttyhunk With Wind Chaser

Brain and Jan joined us for a visit to Cuttyhunk. This wasn't a planned stop for them so we were so happy they changed their plans so we could show it off. They also like to walk and Cuttyhunk is a great place for walking. It was very crowded in the mooring field, so we anchored in the outer harbor, which worked out well. As soon as the anchors were safely set we went into the town docks and began to explore the island. We ended with ice cream on the pier and making plans for breakfast the next morning. If on Cuttyhunk, be sure to have breakfast at the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club, now a Bed and Breakfast. It is outdoor dining looking across the water toward Marthas Vineyard. It is reached by walking across a lawn area next to the coast. The menu is extensive, the portions large and the food fabulous. After a hearty breakfast we did some more walking and island exploring. We had plans to leave at noon so we said goodbye at the town dock and we were soon on our way. Our next stop was Onset Bay which is just next to the entrance to the Cape Cod Canal. Onset is a wonderful small Cape Cod town. It is a picture perfect bay looking in all directions. The people were friendly, with so many on vacation or at their summer homes. We stayed two nights and it is a place we will return to.
