Labor Day at the Cape

We just got back from a get together for Regen’s side of the family. Anna and Bruce rented a great place in Eastham, Mass, on the outer leg of Cape Cod. The weather was a little cool, but dry, so we had a good mix of time at the beach and other activities.

I took out the kayak for a paddle around the salt marsh on the ocean side of Eastham on Tuesday morning. Shifting sand bars prevented me from doing the full loop that I had planned, but it was still a fun 6 or so miles. See the attached map… there was a 20 ft high sand dune blocking the entrance to the yellow route at the ocean. (Maps from a year ago also have that inlet a mile south.) Maybe one of the recent hurricanes?

So on to what most of you care about – the pictures.  There are a bunch of everyone, including Graham.  I also got a lot of good shots of the local wildlife while paddling, on a hike we took to see some seals, and at the Audubon center in Wellfleet.
