Yesterday at #CraneBeach in #Ipswitch #Massachusetts was absolutely delightful. Water was chilly, crowd was chill, and the beach was clean. Friends met there were good company, packing too much food to share always a delight, and the flies were not biting.

Fog rolled in midday as the tide came in, but by that point we were ready to head home. I need to get out there more this year.

Oh shoot, we lucked out - over 50 MA swimming areas were closed Saturday due to microorganism issues. https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/over-50-beaches-in-massachusetts-deemed-unsafe/3084831/

@knizer my experience at Nahant beach was incredibly bizarre yesterday

- Thick fog
- Balmy air
- Some of the warmest water I have ever felt
