Harbors are a lot less crowded, too. Couple years back, a
boat I was on stopped in Cuttyhunk in August.... mob
scene...


It's incredible how popular Cuttyhunk has become. We started going
there in the 70s when you could still find room to anchor in the inner
basin and no one of dreamed of anchoring in the outer harbor unless
they were on an 80 footer.

In addition to the bakery, the other don't miss culinary opportunity
in the fresh seafood store on the main dock. They have fresh caught
striped bass many days and it is fantastic. They will also cook
lobsters to order at a half way reasonable price.

Some of my most enduring memories of Cuttyhunk are being overflown by
the seaplane while I was in the dinghy, and having a 3 pound steak
stolen from the barbeque by a seagull.
