My wife and I bought our boat last year and since the boat was only in for a short time before we had to take it out, we didn't get to explore very much and now with the 6 month old on board there isn't much time for exploration. we kind of need a "plan" when we go out. of course things change due to weather and cranky baby syndrome, but i'm looking for a list of things to do in the Boston harbor area by boat including anchorages, beaches, exploration spots, your favorite island and destinations for lunch/dinner that we can do as a family and when we get the chance to utilize my inlaws for adult time only with friends aboard.
I am from Plymouth and spent quite a bit of time in Falmouth with family and my boating experience never left those areas. we will be going to Brown's Bank a few times this year with friends but that is quite a hike for an afternoon or short day, we will also be heading to Falmouth and MV later in July for a small family trip with a possibility of hitting up Nantucket as well.
I know activecaptain has tons of information but it is all in map form and not list form so you can just look at a list of "beaches" and go or "restaurants" and go to them. I know there must be a ton of places that you can just pull up and walk into the restaurant but i don't know of any or how to contact them we can put that info here.
I would like to modify this post along the way to keep a list for anyone to be able to check out places they haven't.
any important information could be added to each as well.
maybe this thread will take off...maybe it is stupid but i figured there have to be other people out there in the area that are looking for things to do.
