March 8, 2013 the second day of a coastal storm the the
Cape Cod Times headline got just right, "RELENTLESS". The wind cuts through any thoughts that mother nature has lost her power, as it has become a constant reminder that man is a visitor on this planet. I watched a 10 foot square section of dune float through a breach in the section of dunes that protected the Sandwich march and famous boardwalk. Walking down the path alongside the canal towards the Cape Cod Bay was an intense experience. Snow, freezing rain, and salt spray hit me at 50 miles per hour and let me know that I was alive. The tide was high-high-high and the surf was wild-wild-wild. It is humbling to witness this weather, but be alive to do so is a blessing that we should never take for granted.
