As we were taking a hike at Fort Hill a couple of days ago, we saw this sailboat out on the water on Nauset Marsh, which is very unusual. We’d only seen a sailboat on the marsh only once before as it is so difficult to sail there. It looked like it had started out near the Salt Pond. It was really windy and it was moving pretty fast!
It’s not easy to sail through the marsh with the small, little tributaries and high grasses, but it was high tide and the skipper was maneuvering it very well. We kept watching it through each opening along the trail and it looked like he was having quite the ride! What fun! He must be a pretty seasoned sailor!
A sailor went to sea,
to see what he could see,
But all that he could see
Was sea, sea, sea.
