There was an unusually high tide the other day. There's not much beach left at the southern end of the island. What beach there is is loaded with stuff that's washed up: boards, lobster traps, gloves, parts of toy boats, horseshoe crab shells, shells, shells, shells, and more shells. Someone has made a large arrow in the sand out of crab shells. Bones. Bird bones, fish bones, no-telling what kind of bones. |
It was low tide when I got there and the tide came in really fast. There were tons of visitors, mostly family groups with children. It must be school vacation week in New Hampshire - 'cause I know it was vacation week here last week. One family left their stuff - lunch, shoes, towels, sunglasses, sunscreen - on a blanket near the rocks. One of the two aggressive herring gulls who have the south beach as their territory grabbed a cowboy boot off the blanket and tried to fly away with it. Failing that it tried to drag it away. It finally dropped it and went after a shoelace from a kid's sneaker instead. The herring gulls went crazy when a family arrived with a pizza. The family had to defend the pizza.
Today's starting pitcher: Robinson Checo
