Hi Doug, Let me add some "goodies" to your list in the Buzzards Bay / Cape Cod area. In Quick's Hole, - a nice easy passage if you don't hit it with the wind against the tide - there is a lovely white sand beach on the southwest side of the Hole. We would stop there for lunch and a swim before continuing our run from Cuttyhunk to Hadley's. Cotuit is another spot with great discoveries, if you have a knowledgeable guide. After entering Cotuit and going under the bridge, on your port side is an island. It is possible to go totally around this island, coming out again just inside the Cotuit Harbor entrance, and behind a barrier sandbar that protects the waterway from Nantucket Sound. We did it once in our Tripp-Lentsch, and the trip was an eye-opener. Beautiful mansions; private docks; lots of lovely boats. I recall one house that had at least 5 boats tied up at their dock, all painted in the same color scheme; black hull, green bottom and a white boot top - with highly polished and varnished teak everywhere. There was about a 40' power boat; about the same size sail boat; (His and Her's?) plus smaller sail boats for the Junior members of the family. You know, smaller, like in the 30 foot range! A sight to take your breath away. On Martha's Vineyard, at Oak Bluffs, there is an old Methodist Camp Ground, where people would gather for the summer. About the beginning of August (date uncertain - check) they have their "Illumination" weekend, where all these little Victorian gingerbread cottages are lit with lanterns and candles. A great sight and a fun evening of walking among all the houses to see how each one decorated their home. At Edgartown Harbor, as you enter, on your port side is Cape Poge Pond. Tight entrance, but once inside, you have a large quiet expanse of pond for anchoring, and enjoying the view. Edgartown waterfront is brim full of boats, but if you want to see Edgartown, there is a Marina on your starboard side coming in, that might let you tie up for a few hours while you tour the town. Lovely shops (expensive) as you can judge by the size of the boats and the types of houses you see there. Across from the Marina is Chappaquiddick Island, of Ted Kennedy fame. Tarpaulin Cove on the Vineyard Sound side of Naushon Island is another nice spot for a stop and a swim or an overnight anchorage - long white beach and quiet. Woods Hole is wild water if you don't hit it at slack tide. With an M15 my choice would be to go through Quick's Hole - wide, no rocks; not a lot of traffic; and a lot less "sweat" than going through Woods Hole. Cuttyhunk: The inner harbor is dredged out for bigger boats. If you go in beyond where the mooring buoys are for the bigger boats, an M15 should find plenty of anchor space in the "thin" water area. I hope you have a dinghy along, because it's a necessity at places like Quick's Hole beach, Cape Pogue Pond, Oak Bluffs Harbor, or Cuttyhunk Harbor - and you can buy lobsters on the dock at Cuttyhunk.
