BREAKFAST IN WAREHAMThis is a special trip that is a great deal of fun and something that we do many times during the summer. We might leave from the town marina on the Pocasset River and when we pass the jetty, we head west to run parallel along Wings Neck. Before we get to the end of Wings Neck, we turn to the NW to cross in front of the southern end of the Hog Island Channel. From there, we head to Great Hill Point on which is a home in the design of a small castle. It is pretty, well taken care of and the grounds are beautiful. From there, we head North and follow the well marked channel through many boats at moorings as well as many homes, most of which seem to be summer homes yet are probably now converted to year-round homes. As we slow through the no-wake zone, we pass Warrs Marina and Cape Cod Boat Building Company where the Bulls Eye's have been built for 50 years or more. Far up the river, we pass the Nantucket Light Ship which is in the process of being refurbished and will eventually be taken somewhere for the tourists to discover. We will tie up at the Town Dock and the passengers will walk around, over a small bridge and down to the restaurant, The Narrows. This is a great restaurant with a small town flavor that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everybody enjoys The Narrows. The return trip is just the reverse of our trip over and gives everyone time to enjoy the sights such as the Railroad Bridge, Wings Neck and Wings Neck Lighthouse and Scraggy Neck and the return trip up the Pocasset River. |
