Cuttyhunk Island, Gosnold Massachusetts, Cruising Buzzards Bay

Cuttyhunk lies at the far southwestern end of the Elizabeth Island chain. It is a small island with a large and deep harbor.When I was younger deer would roam the island , and there was a windmill on the top of the hill. The hill is still there, but the deer and windmill are gone. Many visitors still climb the hill, for the spectacular view, a panorama from Gay Head to Newport to the Cape.

A ferry runs from New Bedford, but most visitors arrive by pleasure boat. Because it is a small island, there are always a story or two about the colorful inhabitants.
