I'm excited to introduce Dave Horne, the boat and brains behind MyBuzzardsBay and the author our first boater-contributed post of 2018. In chatting with Dave, his love of boating, his home port, and his joy in sharing both with his fellow New England cruisers comes through clear as a bell. 

Wareham, Massachusetts: Buzzards Bay’s Bargain Dock & Dine Destination

This content originally appeared on MyBuzzardsBay in June 2017.

Our two Back Coves – Tenacity (37) and Vigilant (41) have spoiled us when it comes to selecting a destination. Both can plow through 4-5 foot chop and Vigilant has a hard back door and a heater, making even a 50-degree day a cruise day.

It wasn’t that long ago when when cruised Buzzards Bay in our 26′ Whaler and back then, we had to constantly watch the weather and be very selective when it came to planning a Dock & Dine venue. If you look around any Buzzards Bay harbor, you’ll see plenty of 20′ boats yearning to go to sea, but where can they go and get home safely?
