Having been through Buzzards Bay a few times, take caution. It can be nasty.
Beware of the very thick fog this time of year especially. Don't leave the
dock unless the conditions are truly right.

Hello, Just purchased a 30 ft Chaparral in Marion Ma. ( Buzzard Bay area)
Looking to make a mini vacation cruising it home from there to Poughkeepsie
on the Hudson. Looking for some knowledge on what Marina's to hit, Any dont
miss stops, Dont stops. Good spots for fuel etc.  Hoping to keep this trip
around 5 days.

Appreciate any and all recommendations. Moving up from a 20ft  day boat to a
30ft weekender. So a newbie with twins, etc It will be my wife and I.

Thanks Hank
