What a glorious spring day yesterday was at Coast Guard Beach! The weather was a balmy 43 degrees with a light breeze and sunny, sunny skies. We counted 18 paddle-surfers in the water looking for that perfect wave.
It’s the first day that we’ve been to Coast Guard Beach in over a month because of freezing temps and high winds. It was perfect and I’m sure the paddle-surfers thought so too. The waves were big and noisy and fun to ride. Perfect for the first day of spring.
What a crazy March we’ve had here on Cape Cod! We’ve had the coldest and snowiest days of the winter. I took this photograph at Boat Meadow Beach yesterday morning. Look at all of that snow on the beach and ice in the water.
It’s hard to believe that spring starts on Saturday. Our March here on Cape Cod has definitely come in like a lion and is still a lion… we’re are very ready for that lamb! Maybe by month’s end…?
River Road in Orleans has a dock and a launch ramp for residents of Orleans, in season. The rest of the year, anyone can use the ramp to launch their boats. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I really liked this winter scene of one of the private docks nearby. You can the 2 extra sections of the dock that will extend out over the water come summer. And then I pulled my camera back and, in the 2nd photograph, you can see the dinghy in the foreground. I couldn’t decide which one I liked better. What do you think?
