These are hum drum posts for being out of the business for so long, but it’s what I’ve got.
I drove over to Newburyport the other morning and got there too early to wait in the beach for the sunrise. Blame in how late the sun rises this time of year. Here’s the best I’ve got, a shot from the bridge on my way home.
About a week before that I went swimming off Halibut Point. Some people familiar with the shoreline think it impossible, but it really isn’t. All you have to do is wait for the waves to slacken and choose a place from which you can get back out. Believe me, getting in is always easy.

Humdrum? Hardly. If I had taken that Newburyport picture, it would be in my bestpixof2008 file.

“About a week before that I went swimming … ” Depending on what “the other morning” means, that puts you immersed in the Atlantic mid-to-late-October. By choice. I capsized my kayak off Cohasset several times in a row in late October many years ago and ended up hypothermic and vomiting, had to be towed in by the instructor, and I had on a half-wetsuit (and a whopping amount more body fat … ) and probably spent less time in the water than you did. Yowza.
Both quite passable pix, nothing to demur about.

The water was far warmer than it would have been at Blood Pond in Maine in October. Unless that pond really was only three feet deep, then I’d have to compare Halibut’s to the water in Misery Pond. Now that was cold.
