Grew up playing on Cranberry…hide and seek,sometimes we would stay all day and play and then swim back on the down tide,the game mostly lasted until dark.
Owned by Germans now for the last 20 years,they had up “no trespassing”signs when they first came,which only gets ignored by us locals and soon they learn when in Rome ….you know the sayin.
When they first built the house it was amazing to watch all the big diggers and trucks get stuck out there with the tide coming in….man,what a video I could have made then! They layed the power lines and telephone lines under ground(they washed up a few times with the heavy tides).
It’s not completely low so…..I will get soaked,I don’t feel like taking my shoes off…..I usually walk the water out of them after awhile.
Been awhile since I have seen the house,I took care of it for the first German owner for years,loved staying over there with all the piece and quiet!
Last time I was here there were tons of seagull nests and lots of eggs,I hope there still are…………….
The smell is strong today of the woods and salt from the water…..brings back memories…..it has been raining for 3 or4 days and the woods smell is awesome.
There was a cabin built on the Island by local teenagers in the late 60’s or early 70’s….pretty sure its all gone now,but will check the spot out.
Man,no seagulls or nests….sign of the times I guess…they have been starving here since the local fishery has all but stopped….no more picture of seagulls off the stern of the boat eating the fish guts that the fishermen throw over the side…..
The Island has lost a lot of trees just like a lot of the islands around….once a few trees get knocked over it isn’t long before the rest go to.
Good to be outside even if it is foul weather!
