The Crab Lady of Cape Cod
We spot her as we crest the sand dunes that give onto the barrier beach of Cape Cod Bay. A solitary figure against the merging blues of sea and sky, she is pacing slowly back and forth beside an inter-tidal pool. Even from a distance, her body language – and what is an unmistakable and pragmatic Tilley hat – suggests both patience and purpose. Occasionally she stops, turns, and looks out to sea. And then, as if time were not of the essence, she peers into the tidal pool or scans the beachfront from which the sea has made its twice-daily retreat. There is something about the calm and careful way she moves that implies an expectation of things to come, in good time.
From our vantage point on the dunes, we look out over an uninterrupted expanse of tidal flats. Sandbar islets, shaped by rivulets of seawater flowing towards the outgoing tide, provide a visual perspective for the reckoning of time and distance. Having receded several hundred metres, the low tide has uncovered a marine habitat that is accentuated by nutrient-rich sea grasses and other aquatic plants, all of which in the fullness of sea time will soon be inundated again with marine life. This is a time and space for examining what the sea leaves behind; and on this bright, cool May morning we are among the few visitors or residents who have come to the shore to do so. At the moment however we are unaware that lying buried in the wet sand that stretches for kilometres are many members of a unique marine species to which we will shortly be introduced.

Forum points up pros, cons of Cape Wind
By Rich Eldred - The Cape Codder
Brewster - Why Nantucket Sound? Some people are still asking that question six years after Cape Wind proposed a wind farm for Horseshoe Shoal smack in the middle of the Sound.
