Monomoy/Chatham Break pics...

Post by CMP »

I flew N736SL down to the Cape on Easter Sunday and took a few pics after departing CQX. Not great quality, but I'm still new to the taking pics while maintaining altitude thing, so have fun. One thing I noticed on Monomoy is that there is nowhere that appears to have any tidal flow to the west so it appears to be a feet-dry walk all the way to the point from Chatham.

Heading south from Stage:

Same direction a little father down:

Further south:

Looking south towards the point-Very calm day:
Image

Closer to the point-I tried to get the light in there, but it's not the good camera:
Image

Still heading south, but looking back to the north over my shoulder:
Image

Turned the point and heading back north-Notice that the channels that used to cut the island are no longer there. There appears to be no indication that they're there at hi tide, either:

Looking north toward Chatham:

Here are the rest. I took a ton more, but most were pretty bad. Next time, I'll bring the Admiral with her fancy-pants Nikon to take pics...

The Bathtub looks nice today:

Over Chatham Inlet looking at the new break-bad image quality, sorry:

Closer:

Closer still:

Over it:

Looking back at the break. Note the house being prepped for moving. The neighbor is allowing 2 cottages to be temporarily placed on his land to save them-nice guy. Also take a look at the channel that's progressing. I think this will be navigable at all tides by spring. I hope the additional flow improves the PB fishery. I love hitting the back channels. Whatever happens, it'll be fun:

That's all folks. Next pics will be from the Costa Rica trip that departs this Thursday am. Until next time...
