There were a couple of snowy, sleety days but most of the week was like this: stiff cold breeze usually NW, sometimes gusts to 30-40 knots. The Reach looks green when it is whipped up by that sort of wind. Last Sunday, Nov 24, there were stranger gusts than anyone around here had seen in a long while. Waves dashing through Center Harbor and breaking over the shack on the Brooklin Boatyard dock. A very intense day. Very glad Scout was hauled a month ago. John White's lobster boat, Acadia, was being hauled at the boatyard.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
