Archive for December, 2007

Today is a big day. New Year’s Eve and I have chosen a very special outfit to wear at the shack. Nowhere else can such a glamorously hot pink number be found. You can witness the whole wood gathering pink robe performance on my flicker link to the right. With that said, I now need [...]

Yesterday was a big travel day. Lisa and I left the shack early so that I could charge my computer at the airport and she could take a shower. We made the 40 minute walk on the seashore with the winds almost blowing us backwards it was so strong.  Lisa went on for another 4.5 [...]

Kerosene Lamps

Today I came back to the airport, a one hour walk along the sea shore. The waves were quite high, but with the low tide there was lots of shore to walk on. I got the satellite working but the battery went dead so I cannot email from the shack. It seems that once I [...]

Love Cape Air

Wednesday, December 26
I love the Provincetown Airport! It has everything you need. Okay this is why. I went to the airport to meet Lisa who was coming in on Monday night. I dragged my laptop and satellite down the sand fire road and arrived about 4:30, which was way too early because her flight did [...]

Christmas Eve Beach News

The best sunset I have seen here in my first week was by far the winter solstice. I have included a few too many “beautiful” sunsets in my photos, they are cliché but I don’t really care and I am happy to have a record of this light flooded landscape. Today is Christmas Eve and [...]

Friday, Dec 21, Seals

This morning I went out to see the high tide at 8:18am. My usual morning is spent getting the fire going and making coffee, but my room was a comfortable 40 degrees when I got up, so the fire could wait. I finally saw my first seal. At first I thought it was a sea [...]

C-SCape Shack – here is home

Here is my home.  I covered all the windows with plastic but as you can imagine the wind howls though the walls. I closed off the second floor sleeping area since it is below freezing there. But even in the warmest room as soon as the fire dies during the night, all  my water freezes. [...]

This is me before my first run. With only 9 hours of daylight I have to make sure and get up with the sun and get out to the beach. The nights are very long and really the hardest part about being out here.
I managed to run 8 miles, 4.5 in the sand and 3.5 [...]

Tuesdays first Run

Tuesday December 18, 2007
The one thing I have learned out here, besides the satellite connection is not working, (or rather i do not know how to use it), and a computer can freeze, is that one must take advantage of the 9 hours or daylight. I worry about getting the fire going, and being [...]

I am finally here – though no satellite connection

December 16, 2007
Well I made it to the beach shack. I woke up in Ptown to more snow than I have seen in years, living in NYC. I met Tom who would be taking me out to the shack, way out in the dunes – way out. As luck would have it with all the [...]
