January

 Extreme weather means adventure.  All boats to Nantucket were cancelled on Friday,  and when we  took the slow boat  on Saturday,  it was 16 degrees with winds from the northwest at 20 mph. But what a show the birds put on!  The King Eider was about 75% of the way from Hyannis to Nantucket.  Who else was outside looking at birds in that weather?   


How fun to see brant right at Brant Point!  And I hope I didn't bother the snowy owl out at Smith Point.
