We had a wonderful paddle in our kayaks around Nauset Marsh from Goose Hummock the other day. It was a gorgeous day, with blue skies and a nice breeze. A nice respite from the hot and humid weather that we have been having lately. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
We saw several seals swimming in the waters near Nauset Spit, which we have seen for the past couple of years. It wasn’t until we started to paddle back via another route that we heard this very loud cacophony which sounded just like seals. As we got closer we could see a sandbar that had hundreds of seals lazing about. Wow! We were shocked… that there were so many seals there so far from the spit and not very far from Town Cove. When did that happen?
Has anyone else seen all of these seals on the marsh side of Nauset Spit?
This summer has been the summer for kayaking on Nauset Marsh and other areas on Cape Cod. There are kayakers going out at all times of the day.
I took this photograph from Hemenway Landing, which is a popular launch for kayakers. There were quite a few in that group enjoying their paddle as well as the hot summer weather!
I loved this perspective of Hemenway Landing and the moored boats through the Wild Rose bushes with a splash of color from the kayaks. So pretty, don’t you think?
The lobster-men were busy at work the other day putting their lobster pots in the water off of Hemenway Landing. You can see the truck with more lobster pots and the boat which is overflowing with lobster pots as they make their way through Nauset Marsh.
I can’t wait to have a Lobster Roll this summer!
