Nauset Beach

The weather is cooperating. We spent the better part of the afternoon on the beach (part of the National Seashore) breaking in our four beach chairs with jackets and hats on watching the surf, reading, soaking up the sun and salt air, and eating fried chicken. It was a cool, but beautiful afternoon; the surf was "up" and a seal came to visit, to about fifty feet from shore. We were perched near the dune but the tide came in for the first two hours, or so, with some wave wash stopping just a few feet from our feet, but we managed to stay "high and dry." A perfect Cape Cod afternoon.
