Heavens! Been a while, indeed.

Here we are October 2 already, whew, did this summer whisk by quickly.
To bring us up to date briefly, The last of July, August, and September were absolutly Heavenly.
The weather was hot, not windy, not foggy, perfect for water sports, biking, or whatever outdoor stuff we could possible do.
The ocean was unusually hot, (one reason that there is a bit of dinoflagelate goo around now), but all in all, was just a perfect summer.

We bought 2 kayaks in mid August, and found that kayaking is addictive. Only one problem, cant take Muffin with us, so we do continue to canoe about half the time, so that we can take her too. She prefers the fresh water lakes(we do too in mid summer, no people, no crowds like the ocean beaches have).

Today we kayaked up the Sandwich marsh, Mill Creek. Its about an hour in, to the end, and an hour out. Go in on the Boston High tide, and when you reach the end, its just turning to go out.
We got to the railroad bridge over the creek just as the Cape Cod Scenic Railway was crossing, and all the tourists were waving out the windows at us. I held up my beer can, and the Engineer gave me a thumbs up.
We dont bring the digicam in the little boats, so unfortunatly, we have no pictures to show, except for the topo map. Met some people from Houston here on vacation who had just bought a Casio digital camera and gotten an underwater housing. We NEED one badly.
So thats what this summer was mostly about, outdoor fun. My Photoshop lessons have suffered, but we have a winter coming, and plenty time for our studies and reading too.
