The summer-long mission of the Harboring series is to visit every SE Massachusetts port that we can. Today, we went to Chatham. |
Chatham is Shark City, but that's no problemo if you're shooting from shore or off a dock. |
I'm after prey, just like the shark. I just prey on boats and harbors and scenery. |
The sign says nothing about eating mussels or taking pictures. |
We're mostly here to scope boats, anyhow... |
They have working boats as well as pleasure boats. |
This boat can't go down with five barrels on him, he can't! |
Many trips in expensive sailboats end up on this beach, pulling a dinghy ashore. |
I'm not sure what purpose it serves being here, but it sure does make for a pretty picture. |
OK, maybe not for him. |
The seas were various degrees of choppy as we worked our way around town. |
Boat garage, in background. |
We favor boat names here, and note that this is an alteration of how James Bond orders his drinks. |
Cutest boat in the harbor. |
I got in just ahead of a minor storm, but not in time to line this boat name up with threatening skies or big waves. |
If you get two of those boats with the goalposts and space them apart 100 yards, you could play boat football and even kick field goals. |
A little bit of fishing boat, some Old Glory, the Atlantic Ocean... what's not to love? |
Chatham has a lot of boats. I went to the Orleans Yacht Club, asked why they had so few boats, and the lady said "Go visit Chatham." |
Ol' Toothy gets some press... |
He's very confident and much less menacing in Shark-Friendly environments. |
Monomoy, as you know, means friendship. |
No shortage of charming old docks, either... |
See? |
Her work is done for the day, but she doesn't look like she rests much. |
One of our hosts... |
God was pretty good to Chatham when Aesthetics were being discussed. |
Another host... |
You know that they only keep this boat around because they know it looks cool. |
I got down at water level for this shot, but forgot to make it level in general. |
This article needed one outflow pic. |
This looks like it has been about to be put in the water for 40 years. |

A quick trip to the beach never hurt anyone. |
They build these oceanss right up to the marsh, huh? |
If you can't afford a cabin cruiser, get a skiff and put a sleeps-two cooler in it. |
It catches pizza and newspapers. |
Not a bad place, if you can swing it. |
Obligatory shell driveway |
The porch ain't much, but the view rules... |

Thanks for having us, Chatham! |
