We finally have clear enough skies to see the super moon that brought unusually high tides this week. Because they coincided with the rough seas and storms created by Hurricane Ernesto, we had a little bit of a surprise when we brought the dogs down to the cove for our morning walk. The dinghy had been moved sideways and lifted off its wooden track that it is tied to overnight. There was no real damage, but between the waves and the tide, the water had come up the beach at least another 5 or 6 feet.
We went down to Cobblestone Beach next and saw that logs that had been in place all summer had been rearranged along the rocks and there were a lot of branches and buoys washed up high along the shore. At this point in the summer we know the island so well that small changes like a log shifting or rocks being out of place are very noticeable.
We had no visitors to the island today, but we saw that the lobster boats were back out this morning, so we assume visitors will be soon to follow.
