Spring but Not Quite Summer

I was really looking forward to going to South Beach today.  The weather was supposed to be warm, and it was bright and sunny.  As I was sitting in Edgartown waiting for my bus connection, I began to shiver from the wind even though I was sitting in the sun.  Because the buses are still running on off-season schedules, a bus only comes to the beach every 2 hours.  I wimped out and decided just to ride the bus down and watch the beautiful beach and ocean pass through my bus window.  Soon...very soon.

Stormy South Beach

I made it down to South Beach this morning for about 2 hours. The wind was fierce but the temperature was comfortable. The beach was deserted, the waves restless.

Touring the Vineyard

Laurie and I have spent the past 2 1/2 days touring towns, beaches, and lighthouses on the Vineyard. We've ventured down many roads that start as pavement, then become maintained dirt, then deteriorate to two barely-visible tracks carpeted with leaves and
obviously not traveled for weeks. Although the clay cliffs at Aquinnah are beautiful, the portion of the Vineyard referred to as "up island" (because it's higher in elevation than the north or east portion) is certainly more sparsely populated and more desolate. I'm happy with my town of Vineyard Haven, though Oak Bluffs (OB) is charming, and having finally made it down to South Beach and Katama Beach, I see where the truly striking and gorgeous beaches are!
