To Hard?

Perhaps, in previous posts, I was a bit too critical of David Carradine. Certainly, many people had pleasant experiences meeting the actor, and it is entirely possible that, as intimated in the Cape Cod Times recently, he was only "staying in character" at the recent book signing and by appearing to imbibe copiously on numerous occasions. Bottom line, it doesn't really matter; he and his fellow actors and crew members provided the town with an experience we're likely to remember for quite a while.

New Breach?

As I write this, on Sunday, April 22, the new break in North Beach approximately opposite Scatteree remains open. However, it may be even more tenuous than was initially thought. I went by at low tide late this morning and, from the vantage point of the mainland, it appeared to be shoaling over already. Distance and relative height can be deceiving, however, and it may be that the tidal delta along the inner beach is dry at low tide and is hiding the flow between the bay and the Atlantic. There was water within what looked like a 50-foot gap in the beach, but whether or not it was flowing wasn't clear. I'll know more tomorrow when I talk to more folks and see some aerial photos.

Again, bottom line, there's no telling at this point if the new break will become permanent or heal. It could go either way, but in the past, similar breaches have remained open for weeks or months and then closed. So I won't be placing any bets.
