Karen and Kathy - Cape Cod shopping - Wellfleet Flea Market - September 1991 - we just purchased our new fanny packs!
hardest part of all this seems to be learning about the tides and sandbars and using them to judge where the waves are going to be 5/ 10 / 20 mins from now.
i'm not sure if this is a Cape Cod thing, a Whitecrest Beach thing, or if that applies to all beaches... the conditions just change so quick (which seems to be the biggest difference from snowboarding - the balance, edging / turning, etc are all the same, it's just that you're constantly sizing up the conditions and moving around to accomidate for them)
e.g try to make sense of this, this and especialy this. thankfully, this does a good job explaining things.
We hiked down near the water's edge and found a patch of glasswort. I got covered in sand photographing it and, to my dismay, the sand on my pants got on the camera and lens on the walk back. The focus ring was even a bit crunchy. Oops.
Hyannis
Hyannis is a village on the Cape Cod peninsula in Massachusetts. It’s known for beaches like wide Kalmus Park Beach and the private Kennedy Compound at nearby Hyannis Port. The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum chronicles the assassinated U.S. president’s family vacations through videos and photographs. At the harbor, the Cape Cod Maritime Museum has boat-building exhibits. Ferries connect Hyannis to Nantucket Island.
I'm drawn to this spot like a magnet every time I get to Cape Cod. This shot doesn't show it, but the Atlantic ocean is just to the right of the shelter. At the viewing deck, though, you can see both sides of the Cape and early on a summer morning before anyone else is there, it just doesn't get any better...
