Cape Cod Day 6: The Monomoy Island Seals

She’s back baby! After 24 hours of antibiotics, Eli was on the mend and feeling much better!

After a cautious morning walk / bike ride to test Eli’s match fitness, we headed out for the day.

First stop was Nauset Light beach
(sand castles for some – seal watching for others! How awesome is it that they just swim past???)

Chatham wharf to meet our seal cruise, where we were lucky enough to see a fishing boat come in – followed closely some hungry birds & seals.

Then for a boat trip and to see the local seals of Monomay Island:

Where we saw LOADs of seals swimming happily in the harbor:

A casual lunch at Cobie’s Seafood Shack:
(yes mum’s summer quest to eat nothing but seafood when possible continued!)

Home for quiet time…

Then crab & fish chasing at Skaket Beach at low tide.

We brought home a few hermit crabs – but we know we have to return them before we leave (unless we can convince dad otherwise?)
