Our winner We’d have to say “the best fish sandwich” gave us the answer to your September Mystery Harbor. We live on Cape Cod, not far from Plymouth Harbor. While we have spent time in the harbor aboard our Wasque 32, Starbuck, we have more frequently dined on the harborRead More

A “bully” place indeed July’s Mystery Harbor [no one guessed it, so we posted clues in the August issue] is Oyster Bay, N.Y. I’m guessing, since he certainly spent time there, Teddy Roosevelt would have described Oyster Bay as a “bully” place . . . and I concur! I wasRead More

The mystery harbor is Wychmere Harbor in Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass. Looks like the photo is taken from the bottom of the grassy lawn at the overlook on Route 28. We often pass this location and pull over to view the harbor and boats. Every season offers a uniqueRead More

A perfect launch spot This is a picture of Spicer’s Marina located on West Cove Harbor in Noank, Conn. It’s a perfect spot to launch a trip to Block Island or any of the New York harbors [such as those on nearby Fishers Island, or on Long Island] and isRead More

A word from our winner I enjoyed seeing your photo of Bristol Marine’s harbor launch, Olivia dropping off passengers at Thames Street Landing in Bristol Harbor, R.I. When we purchased the Bristol Boatyard in 1998, there was no public launch service available and we quickly decided to commission the constructionRead More

HOLY MOLY – You guessed it… the not-so-mystery harbor! WOODS HOLE, MASS. A BIG thank you to everyone who responded. Woods Hole was more than the answer to a guessing game. From what’s been shared through so many responses, it is a place made of memories. And the winner is…Read More

This was definitely one of the hardest Mystery Harbors we’ve posted in a long time. You can blame former editor and Points East founder Sandy Marsters who came up with the image. Sandy’s tip about the harbor’s connection to Roger Duncan did finally elicit three correct answers, which are below.Read More

Best job I ever had I grew up working the docks of the Nantucket Boat Basin, it was the best job one could have. The photo was taken in front of what is called the “Ice House,” which both houses ice and is staff housing. The sailboat in the photoRead More
