Cuttyhunk, MA

Cuttyhunk was fun. We arrived under blue, sunny skies but no wind. We got a mooring outside of the jetty (in front of Al and Corinne's friend's house!) since the moorings on the inside were full. We took the dinghy to shore and explored a little. Cuttyhunk is a very small, quiet place. And it is dry (meaning no booze at all). According to the 2000 census, only 52 people lived on the island.

An interesting think about Cuttyhunk is that residents and visitors use golf carts to get around. I guess it makes sense since Cuttyhunk is still in tax-achusetts and you don't have to register a golf cart!

We went to the market, which was smaller than many of the markets in Tortola, for a few things and then explored the beach / shoreline before heading back to the boat. We played yahtzee, listened to the Red Sox on the radio and had an early dinner. Cuttyhunk is beautiful for anyone who wants a very relaxing and quiet vacation.
