Rob and I have been making an effort to go out in our boat as much as possible in these last days of summer. On a beautiful calm day last week, we motored down the chain of Elizabeth Islands to Cuttyhunk at the very end. We like to visit at least once a year and take in the island’s beauty, charm and character, which I tried to capture in these photographs. To see all of the posts about Cuttyhunk, go to the archives here.
Continued from cruise to Cuttyhunk (part 1).
The next morning we took our dingy to the Cuttyhunk dock and walked through town.
We went to the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club for breakfast.
On the way we came across this “Bed and Breakfast” garden.
I love this flower bed.
There was an incredible view of Vineyard Sound from the dining porch.
We walked back through the village a different way.
With just a few short roads and no gas station, golf carts are the prefered transportation method.
From the hill on top of the island, you can see the Elizabeth Island chain going north toward Woods Hole.
We walked down to the dock, took our dingy back to our boat and motored home. What a wonderful getaway!
On a calm day earlier in August, before Irene blew up our way, my husband and I took our boat to Cuttyhunk Island. It’s only an hour ride from Woods Hole to this little gem at the end of the chain of Elizabeth Islands. In the harbor, we met up with our friends Ben and Julie and they rafted their sail boat up to our boat.
We took our dingy to shore, walked around the town and passed the public library.
We had a lobster dinner.
And walked back down to the dock to take our dingy back to our mooring.
On the way, we passed acorn stand in a golf cart which operated on the honor system .
As the sun went down and the moon came up, we returned to our boat and spent a peaceful night on our boat in Cuttyhunk harbor.
