Excerpt from chart 18456 Depths in feet |
There is a small marina in Boston Harbor; when we visited, we ended up at the marina for breakfast. This is a delightfully random place. It reminds me of some of the stores we saw in Desolation Sound - over a friendly uneven floor they sell beer, ice, boots, gifts, food, clothes, books, chandlery, fresh seafood, and more that I have forgotten. And it seems that the marina is the social center of the area. I would guess that summer Saturday nites are lively here.
After breakfast, we took a walk around the harbor. The housing was a delightful mix of old beach cabins, new housing, and a refreshing absence of the trophy houses that seem to be cropping up everywhere on the waterfront, despite the fact that Boston Harbor is less than 10 miles by road from the state capitol.
* Is it just me, or does it seem that Puget Sound anchorages are filling up with mooring buoys? Most seem to be unused or abandoned. Also, I know for a fact that some shoreline property owners place buoys specifically to prevent cruisers from anchoring in "their" view.

I lived two blocks away from the marina back in the late '90s. It is a lovely community.
