Cape Cod and Surrounding Area – Points of Interest

This is fun for all of us.....lol

I agree a third night might be one night too many where you are looking to create an aggressive itinerary. I could spend a week there....Some people love Ptown (I am one) and some don't (my dad is not comfortable there).......I love the shows, the people, people watching, beaches, history, monument, restaurants, etc......One must remember that this is an openly gay town and this is their town and we are guests. After dark it really turns into an eclectic party and show......Again, I love this destination as a guest.........I have always taken my kids there and when I ask them what they remember......"The candy store and the helena tattoos"...

That's some funny quick introduction to the place, John....:lol:...I guess, we'll just have to show up and see how we like it. The fact that we're looking to stay on the mooring most likely won't even leave a room for strange questions from my little guy. But, we'll enjoy watching the shows from the distance. I'm guessing the mooring field is right next to the town?

Yes....They have a launch and dingy dock....The launch stops before the late night shows so be careful......

If you plan on 4 nights in the Boston Harbor area you could stay at Hewitt's Cove Marina for one night. It is at the newly renovated Hingham Shipyard with several good restaurants and great movie theater. The second night you could stay on a mooring at Worlds End also in Hingham and 20 minutes from Hewitt's Cove. Just call the Hingham Harbor Master on the VHF and you almost always get one of the town moorings for a small fee. Water is warm and it is very protected and it is about a 45 minutes run to downtown Boston. We stay over at World's End 8-10 times a summer. May go without saying but pay attention to your charts and chartplotter around Boston, plenty of water but there are trouble spots.

Dinghy dock in good location is all I need. Thanks John.

Thanks for suggestions. Taking notes and adding these to my list. Warm water , my crew would love it.

Looks great, John. I love the map. Now as long as it fits within our Flotilla week (8/2-8/11) it'll be just perfect.

You know I have to ask now, what software did you use?
