I've got to thank you for bringing this up and here's why. It has been a long time since I have looked at the satellite pictures of Google earth for this spot. There changes are truly incredible!!!

I first started visiting Chatham when I was less than six years old in the mid-fifties. Over the years our Dad purchased a number of boats staring at 12' and groing to 20'. We were never expert navigators, pretty much just out in front of Hardings to ski, fish, sail and dive.
I can't be sure, but I think there was not a tidal cut through to the east of Monomoy from Stage when I first started. Then one did open up and now, over 50 years later, that is gone like it was when all the shifting "started".

I looked at the satellite shots and was AMAZED by the artistic nature of the sweeping character of the sandy shoals through out the area. If you take a few minutes and look at those shots on Google Earth close up like 8-10,000 ft. you will be absolutely amazed at how exquistely beautiful they are, both in their serene and sinister character. Simply AMAZING!!!
