Bob and Linda's bogus journey - Short sail to Cuttyhunk Island

Everyone says to go to Cuttyhunk Island.   Well, we're here and so is everyone else!   Town moorings?  Forget it!   We're over in the north edge of the pond on a hook.  Well we saved $45 and we're secure so who cares.

Cuttyhunk is beautiful.  Not what I expected.  I've only seen the island from the north and from a distance so I thought it was basically wilderness.  Well, there's no malls or restaurants here but there are lots of beautiful homes and a pretty busy marina.  I'm told we can even get ice cream at 7PM.  It's like Manhattan!
