Here is a nice little photo of me rebuilding the steps.
I found the solution to the cold, well two exactly. The first is, if it is not too windy run, a lot. With three layers of clothes, a balaclava and a hat, glove liners and mittens I went to a two hour and fifteen minute run, it was awesome but I was wiped out running miles through the sand and over hills. The other solution is, just wait and it will get warm. Today it is in the 40’s and by Thursday it will be in the 50’s. It is glorious.
Nancy, my hiking buddy from the Adirondacks is coming this week to check out beach hiking. She is always a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to it. I guess she can leave the snowshoes home and maybe even back a bathing suit in this weather. Nothing like a plunge with the seals.
Drawing is going great. I am down to my trusty no. 2 pencil and paper to focus on illustrating beach debris.
Hello Hilary, I hope you remember Neil and I from the B&B on the day you started your adventure – we have been following your exploits with great interest. I’m glad the weather has been a bit better recently, although the soft sand is not so good for running. You are certainly experiencing a wide range of weather conditions! Your photos are wonderful as well as your drawings – it is amazing that you are accomplishing so much given the basic living conditions. I would probably spend all day tending the woodstove! The Cape in winter is truly an amazing place. Take care – Siobhan Krane
