Nauset Beach On Cape Cod… Always Beautiful.
This Summer-like Weather Is Great For Kayaking On The Salt Marsh On Cape Cod.
The last few weeks and the warmer temperatures have been just amazing here on the Cape. These two kayakers looked like they were enjoying their paddle yesterday on the salt marsh up Boat Meadow Creek. It was pretty high tide so they really could explore.
It looks like we might have a few more days in the 60s, so enjoy it while it lasts!
The Tides Have Been Really High This Week On Cape Cod.
It was a gorgeous day to take a hike by the Salt Pond, mostly sunny and warm with a little breeze. We were so surprised when we got to the trail at how high the tide was. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
We stood there and debated for a bit as we had tried to hike it before at high tide. But there was a couple in front of us of us who were walking along the edge and they didn’t seem to be getting wet, so we decided to brave it too.
There were a couple of spots where you were walking in a bit of water, but for the most part, you could inch along the side until you got to some dry ground. Such a beautiful hike… and always a fun adventure!
Pretty Fall Colors Along The Salt Marsh On Cape Cod.
Quite The Sailing Adventure At Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.
As we were taking a hike at Fort Hill a couple of days ago, we saw this sailboat out on the water on Nauset Marsh, which is very unusual. We’d only seen a sailboat on the marsh only once before as it is so difficult to sail there. It looked like it had started out near the Salt Pond. It was really windy and it was moving pretty fast!
It’s not easy to sail through the marsh with the small, little tributaries and high grasses, but it was high tide and the skipper was maneuvering it very well. We kept watching it through each opening along the trail and it looked like he was having quite the ride! What fun! He must be a pretty seasoned sailor!
