Monomoy Island Excursions, Part 2

I absolutely could not get enough of the ocean waves on the sand.  I'm not sure if it was an optical illusion, but it seemed as though the Atlantic was at a slightly higher elevation on the other side of the islands than we were in Nantucket Sound.  It made for a dramatic effect.

 I can't help but wonder if there is any beach glass on there but I'll never find out.

Oh. Right.  This is a seal tour, which I half forgot about!

Monomoy is just a fairly flat bit of sand, beach grass and apparently lots of poison ivy.

There's that Atlantic again....

There were so many seals that it was too hard to try to count.  They are very curious and popped their heads up to get a look at the boat, which they are now used to.

These were my two best close up shots.

There's Chatham Light.  Do you know how hard it is to time a shot of the light on a boat that's pitching up and down?

More seals under the water.

Tons of birds too.  All the pics I've seen from this seal tour shows them up on the sand but they were all out swimming the day I went.

Chatham, Part 1

I finally got a crystal clear day in mid-October to go to Chatham, at the 'elbow' of Cape Cod.  I kind of spaced that it was Columbus Day, which explains why there were so many people in town and why it was so hard to get parking at Harding Beach.  It's a beautiful and upscale place and the tiniest of cottages sell for well over half a million dollars.

This is the library

Placed there by the Village Improvement Club 1914

Beautiful old churches

Then I drove to Harding Beach and was lucky to get a parking spot.  It was jammed.  This is Chatham Light, across from the beach.
