We rode back to the boat around 10:30 AM and passed a place right next door to Utsch's Marina called the Lobster House. I went in to see if I could get a reservation for dinner tonight, but was told they do not accept reservations, however the girl said she would make sure I had a table at 6:30 PM. The Lobster House also has a fish market, so I bought some lobster salad and shrimp salad for lunch along with a fresh loaf of their house bread (onion bread) . It was excellent, so I knew that dinner would even be better. After lunch we just hung around the boat yard all day until dinner time, then we went to the Lobster House for dinner.....but of course, first came cocktails aboard the sailing schooner Americana. Utsch's Marina had the best facilities so far, making our local marina look like a POS, and the rest of the marinas also. Talk about clean, their bathrooms were spotless and not only that you had a choice between a private bathroom and a locker-room style. They give you keys for both, but I really have to say the building with the boaters lounge and pvt. baths was superb.
All furniture is wicker or bamboo, and it all fit in nicely with the surrounding atmosphere.
The marina itself is huge with 615 slips accommodating boats up to 200 feet in length.....it just made any other marina that we had ever been to look and feel crappy. and for $2.25 per foot, we got, the most bang for your buck!!. Their " goodie packet", given to each transient boater is fantastic. A bottle of local wine, tee-shirts and a whole bunch of local advertising materials.
