DETOUR
Lieutenant Island, Wellfleet, Cape Cod - One way in - one way out. Except when there is an exceptionally high tide driven by a full moon. Then, the salt marsh surrounding the access road floods, cutting off the 100 homes on the island. Most people consider this rather unique characteristic a positive feature of living on a beautiful, natural habitant on Cape Cod.

BOOM
One can view these huge majestic waves along the Cape Cod National Seashore beaches most days after a large ocean storm. These weather disturbances can be hundreds of miles off shore and they roll onto the outer Cape beaches without interference.

A tumultuous sky adds to the dramatic and foreboding mood of the scene.

Wild Harbor Sailing
Beauty on the Harbor
Two small sailboats stay in the water late into the season to grace Wild Harbor in North Falmouth with its colorful presence. One yellow and one red, sit peacefully in the tranquil harbor near the lush, green shoreline. The vibrant colors of the boats contrast with the serene, natural surroundings under a warm, orange evening sky.
The sailing experiences that these two boats have provided have been immense. Just outside the protected harbor, the strong wind of Cape Cod and the water chop of Buzzards Bay are available to offer many thrills from riding the downward slopes of the wave chop, wind filling the sail and salt water spraying onto one's face.
And these small sailboat are just one of the many reasons generations return to Cape Cod each year.
