paulk is on a distinguished road
Have not been in that neck of the woods myself, but have read and recommend "The Coast of Summer" by Anthony Bailey. He wrote for the New Yorker Magazine for 35 years and has a polished and enjoyable style. Though he focuses more on areas south of the cape, there are good stories included about his trips to Plymouth, Barnstable, P-town, Wellfleet and North Truro that would be of immediate value to you. After exploring those places you'll be ready to venture further afield. Bailey visited these ports over a series of seasons a while ago, so don't expect lists of current marinas and how many amps they provide at dockside. He tells, rather, of the constants that make sailing (and cruisng) pleasurable.
