Buzzards Bay mini cruisers adventure

[Frank]

Just back from a 'small boat' trailor sailing adventure in the Buzzards Bay erea.Left from Fairhaven across Buzzards Bay to Quissett Hbr,then to Hadley Hbr(wealthy erea)..on to Vineyard Haven/Lagoon Pond (nice boats through out cruise)..then to Cutty Hunk and back to FairHaven.Would have stayed longer but bad winds forcast with more rain so we thought we'd call it a cruise.Rained 5 of our 6 days so we had enough.Nice erea,beautiful homes..large and small...with a lot of cedar shake siding.Many beautiful yachts,again both large and small.Would like to go back.LOTS of anchorages !!! Great winds too.

Hey Frank,

I'm afraid you couldn't have picked a worse time to visit our home waters. This weekend was a washout, except for today (Labor Day).

Even today, the wind was piping up above 25k on Buzzards Bay, despite predictions of 10-15K. I'd been itching to get out on the water, but I turned back after a mere 2 hours.

Better luck next time.

BTW, you apparently missed the manatee sighting in Quissett Harbor. It was the first ever this far north.

All the best,

--Joe
