Lobsters and Chowder Tour 2008 - Day 10

When we last left our merry little band of Chowder heads, we were headed to the beach.  And the beach we did.



The beach is all we did.  The day was sunny and a fairly fine day at the beach.  But the water was 62 degrees!  Tide was coming in and we were the only dry bunch on the beach at one point.  But we had to retreat a bit.  As we were leaving, that rogue wave nailed us soaking 
most of the stuff.  A good laugh and no cameras were worse off.  A boogie board was almost left behind, but a check of the beach 2 hours later found it safely ashore!  What vacation luck!

After the beach, The Cove has
 a complimentary boat excursion around Orleans Cove and the salt marsh.  This was great treat from a knowledgeable local.  We saw a couple of $3.5 million cottages, nesting Osprey and Grey Seals in the marsh.  We went right up to cove inlet where the North Atlantic pushes in.  A great value from our motel.  And another example of the superi
ority of a privately run Inn when done right.  The Midwest needs to return this type of business to our area!


This is our nesting Osprey!

The dark spot is a Grey seal.  Devils are to quick and to slippery to get a good shot!

Stay tuned - Whale pictures and Provincetown are on deck!
