It's completely painted white in preparation for the new owner, but you have to see this historic octagonal house that was built in 1850 by whaling master Robert Soper, in Provincetown, MA. 6bds, 5ba, $6.1m.
Tumblr media
It's been perfectly preserved. Look at that roof-top deck and Belvedere with a view of the Provincetown Harbor.
Tumblr media
The property extends across the road, out to the water's edge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's like your own beach.
Tumblr media
Isn't this a beautiful entrance?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's got an open floor plan, coffered ceilings, and a light-filled living room with a pretty fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dining area next to the fireplace.
Tumblr media
Nice open, airy kitchen.
Tumblr media
One of 5 baths. I like the tile- it looks like a basket weave.
Tumblr media
There are 6 bds., and this looks like the guest suite on the main floor.
Tumblr media
Adorable home office or craft space. It would make a wonderful little art studio, too.
Tumblr media
Love the stairs with an original newel post and storage underneath.
Tumblr media
Such a pretty primary bedroom.
Tumblr media
Beautiful shower in the ensuite.
Tumblr media
The bedrooms are so cozy. You could do a lot with them since they're blank canvases.
Tumblr media
They all get beautiful natural sunlight.
Tumblr media
Beadboard bath.
Tumblr media
Oh, look at the stairs to the roof- they turn into spiral stairs. I wonder if they were always like that.
Tumblr media
Here we are up in the Belvedere.
Tumblr media
Isn't this wonderful?
Tumblr media
But, that's not all this house has to offer. There's a ground level, too, w/a seating area and kitchenette.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Plus, 2 bds and a bath.
Tumblr media
Outdoors there's a private deck.
Tumblr media
And, a brick patio.
Tumblr media
The home also has a lawn in the front and room for parking in the back on a 5,662 sq ft lot.

Ahoy shipmate. love your blog and I was wondering what job you think you would enjoy most on a vessel from the Age of Sail. I know you have sailed on a tall ship before so I am interested to hear how that may influence your choice.
Ahoy there! Thank you for your kind words, my friend.
My experience on a tall ship has very much influenced my answer, which may or may not surprise you. Much like my best fictional friend Ishmael, I'm not really interested in the life of a captain or a sailing-master or some other such officer, and for the same reason: "It is quite as much as I can do to take care of myself, without taking care of ships, barques, brigs, schooners, and what not." That's way too much responsibility!
Navigation, especially in the pre-computer age, involves a lot of math, as does gunnery, and I am one of those famous gays who cannot do math. I don't really have the temperament for leadership...
...but while out in the North Atlantic Ocean on a 93-ton schooner, I learned that I'm a natural at the helm. I can keep a vessel on a dead straight course with just a compass and a star and the feel of the wheel beneath my hand. I was at the helm as we sailed Pride into Provincetown Harbor, with the captain giving me the compass headings to bring her around Race Point and Long Point and finally in.
Tumblr media
And when I wasn't at the helm, there were plenty of other things to do—handling sail when necessary, of course, but also lashing down the cannons as we neared the Atlantic Ocean, hanging the signal flags out to dry after a leak was discovered in the flag locker, checking the ship for hazards on deck and below, and coiling ropes not in active use. (There's nothing more satisfying than making a really good harpoon coil—no, we weren't harpooning anything out there, but it makes a coil stable enough for a person to stand on). And when none of these things needed doing, we had fruit to eat and the stars to watch and each other to chat with.
So... yeah, that's what I'd be doing in the Age of Sail. Just being an ordinary man before the mast. I'm under no illusions that a sailor's life would have been easy—"the work was hard and the wages low;" the food was bad and the living conditions less than luxurious, but in spite of all that... Jack Tar's life seems like a life I could get used to, and one I could be content with.
Tumblr media
Thank you so much, @macaroniyankee! You can read more about my experience on this blog in the tag #tales from the sea.

Dear Diary. I’ve been up since 5:15am and for no apparent reason, I was sitting here thinking about all the different places I’ve been.
My first airplane ride was when I was a little kid. I’m not sure exactly how old I was at the time, but if memory serves me correctly, my family flew to Houston on Eastern Airlines and my last flight was on Southwest Airlines to Long Beach.
Completely out of order, but here are the places that I’ve been. If I spent the night there, then I have been there, period.
My first trip across the Pond was in 1986. I spent Xmas in London with my mom and brother. Also during that trip, I went to Sevilla. I’m not sure but I think I’ve been to England and Spain, five times and Amsterdam once.
Driving across America, I’ve been to, different times for various reasons.
San Jose to Palm Springs to LA.
SFO, Reno, Salt Lake City, Lincoln, Chicago, Buffalo.
Jacksonville, Hattiesburg, Denton, Tucumcari, Piñon.
Houston and Austin, innumerable times and this includes driving and flying.
Orlando. Miami. OK. St. Louis. Chicago. Detroit. Richmond. NOLA. Phoenix. Tucson. Nashville. Pensacola. ABQ. Gallup. Los Angeles. FTL. DET. Valparaiso. Carlisle. Atlanta. Cleveland. The Carolinas. Washington DC. It was either Yarmouth or Halifax, NS. Tanglewood. Bath, Caribou, and Bar Harbor. Provincetown. DFW. Oakland. Devizes, Gloucestershire, Cambridge and Oxford.
Plus the hundreds of times I’ve been to RI/CT/NH/NYC/NJ and twice to Vermont.
Lastly, one of my favorite places in the world is Hillsdale, WY. It’s just outside Cheyenne and from that vantage point is the most spectacular view of the Continental Divide. I don’t have the words to describe nor explain how gorgeous this view is and how I just wanted to plunk down right there and not move. Though it did occur to me that it does snow in WY and near cryogenic conditions.
Random thoughts for the day.

Hi to all!
I have been participating in Harbor to the Bay, an annual charity bike ride from Boston to Provincetown, to raise funds and awareness for those living with HIV/AIDS. This year will mark my 16th ride. However, this will also be my last ride. A decision has been made by the #H2B organizers to make the 21st ride the last ride. It's very bittersweet to know that this will be the last, and it was a decision that was not made lightly.
Given that, I am looking forward to going out with my head held high and my heart full of cheer to know that I helped to raise over 6 million dollars since the inception of the ride back in 2003.
So - I'm asking if you'll help me to help our beneficiaries. I want to make the 2023 ride - #Ride21 - to be the best it can be. And if you've been on the fence about participating as either a rider or pit crew member, this would be a fantastic opportunity for others to experience the awesomeness that is #HarborToTheBay!
Please check out my #H2B profile page for more info on the ride and to make a generous online donation!

Cape Cod Trip added bonus Maine and Rhode Island
4 Day & 6 Day Adventures
Trip 1 Cape Cod, Plymouth, P-town, Martha’s Vineyard
September Trip 2020 4 days
Stayed in an Air b&b at Yarmouth
Day 1 Plymouth Rock and Pilgrim Memorial State Park.
When the first settlers first stepped onto land here, they did so because of the protected bay. Early in the 18th century, nearly a century after the landing, one of their descendants identified a certain rock as the place of that first landing. The famed rock, which has been broken, moved, and put back together, now sits at the seashore protected under a classical columned canopy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Mayflower II the tall masts of Mayflower II rise above her decks, a reminder of how this all started. Built in England during the early 1950s, the ship arrived in Plymouth in 1957 and today serves as an important way to relate the tale of European settlement in America. As well as can be determined, the ship is a full-scale replica of the original.
Tumblr media
Day 2 Martha’s Vineyard Daytrip
Steamship authority vineyard: ferries to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
Tumblr media
We started at Oak Buffs were we rented an e-bike. The six-mile bike ride from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown is known for being a gorgeous and manageable ride, including riding over Jaws Bridge!
Oaks buff is known for its distinctive Victorian architecture with 300 colorful cottages designed to look like gingerbread houses.
We continued to Edgartown, with its quaint harbor complete with an 80-year-old lighthouse. A former hub for the whaling industry, admire the stately Greek revival mansions built by ship captains.
We Traveled along the idyllic countryside and small fishing villages. We then took a taxi the technicolor cliffs of Aquinnah.
Tumblr media
The Aquinnah Cliffs – formerly known as Gay Head – is one of Martha's Vineyard's most-visited tourist spots, with bus and bike tours congesting the paved roads in the peak summer season. But the epic clay cliffs, which were carved by glaciers millions of years ago, are worth the trek. Visitors can explore the lower beach paths to see the cliffs up close and stretch along the sands at Moshup Beach. Or take the upper trails to the top of the cliffs to catch a glimpse of Gay Head Light and nearby Elizabeth Islands.
The Aquinnah Cliffs are part of the island's Wampanoag reservation and under special environmental protections to deter erosion.
Tumblr media

Ferry/bus we took the bus to the bridge that was made famous by the movie Jaws. We rented kayaks and stopped at the bridge to view locals and tourists jumping of the bridge.
Tumblr media
Day 3 July 12 Whale watching Trips to Stellwagon bank marine Sanctuary
It encompasses 842-square-miles of some of the most productive ocean waters anywhere in the northwest Atlantic.
While the frequent presence of Humpback whales, Finback whales, Right whales and sometimes other endangered whale species no doubt gives the sanctuary its public appeal and worldwide recognition, this marine sanctuary was created in order to protect all of the great diversity of marine creatures that depend on these waters for all or part of their life cycle.
The sanctuary was named after its principal geologic feature: a shallow, underwater sandbar known as “Stellwagen Bank.” There is more to the sanctuary than just Stellwagen Bank, however. The sanctuary encompasses many other equally important areas; most notably “Jeffrey’s Ledge” which is just to the north of Stellwagen Bank itself.
You can think of Stellwagen Bank as a huge, underwater sandbar that it is about 24 miles long, 3-5 miles wide at its northern end, and just under 14 miles wide at its southern end. It rises above the surrounding seafloor to a height the equivalent of an 11-story building, with waters on top of the Bank ranging between 65 and 120 feet in depth and surrounding waters being between 250 and 350 feet deep.
Geologically speaking “The Bank” is an underwater extension of Cape Cod and this can clearly be seen in maps of the seafloor. As you can see in the map below, Stellwagen Bank is situated directly between Cape Ann and Cape Cod, a location that led many fishermen to refer to the area as “Middle Bank.”

Herring Cove Sea Serpent
Gloucester isn't the only harbor to hold a giant sea serpent. Herring Cove, in Provincetown, at the very tip of Cape Cod, has its own monster, witnessed in 1886. When makes the Herring Cove Sea Serpent unique is the theory behind it. Scientifically minded locals believed that recent underwater earthquakes awakened a prehistoric creature from its slumber and scared it to the surface. This monster was described as being over three hundred feet long. And unlike that of the Gloucester serpent, which was mostly depicted as a huge snake, the description of the Herring Cove serpent doesn't resemble any creature ever seen by man before-a true monster. A local newspaper reported in 1886:
Mr. George W. Ready, a well-known citizen here, was going from the town to the backside of the Cape and in crossing one of the sand dunes, saw a commotion in the water about a half of mile from the shore in the Herring Cove. It looked like a whirlpool and from his standpoint appeared to be about 20 feet in diameter from the center of which jets of spray, look like steam, were ejected to the height of fifty feet.
Intently watching this strange phenomenon, he presently saw a huge head above the surface and pointed for the shore. The head was a large as a 200-gallon cask, concave on the underside and convex on the upper.
Mr. Ready saw the creature coming towards the shore and secreted himself in a clump of beach plum bushes, where he got a good view of the monster. The creature swam to the shore with a slow and undulating motion and passed within about 30 feet of where Mr. Ready was secreted. It was about 300 feet long, and in the thickest part, which was about the middle, he judged as it passed him to be about 20 feet in diameter. The body was covered with scales as large as the head of a fish barrel and were colored alternately green, red, and blue. . . .
The most curious feature was the head. The open mouth disclosed four rows of teeth which glistened like polished ivory and were at least two feet long, while on the extreme end of the head or nose extended a tusk or horn at least eight feet in length. The creature had six eyes as good sized dinner plates and they were placed at the end of a moveable projections, so they were at least three feet from the head. In the creature's moving along, these projections were continually on the move so that the reptile could see before, behind, and sideways at the same time. Three of the eyes were of a fiery red hue while the others were of a pale green. . . .
When the tail came out of the water it was seen to be a V shape, the broadest part towards the body to which it was joined by a small bony cartilage about 20 feet long and only 10 inches in diameter. This tail on the broad part was stuffed with very hard, bony scales shaped like teeth about one foot long and eight inches at the base and cut everything smooth to the ground as it was dragged over the surface; pine and oak trees nearly one foot in diameter, were cut off as smoothly as if done by a saw.
The creature made for one of the large fresh water ponds called Pasture Pond. When in the center, the head, which had all the time been raised some 30 feet in the air, began slowly to descend and was soon under water, the body slowly following it. As the tail disappeared, the water commenced to recede from the shore till the pond was left completely dry with a large hole in the center some twenty feet in diameter, perfectly circular down which sounding leads have been lowered 250 fathoms and no bottom found. By standing on the brick of the hole, what appears to be water can be seen at a long distance down.
Preparations are being made to investigate the matter, and thousands are going to see and examine the track of the huge sea monster. For fear that this statement should be doubted, and any one try to contradict it, I here append a copy of Mr. Ready's affidavit and signature:
"I, George Washington Ready, do testify that the foregoing statement is correct. It is a true description of the serpent as he appeared to me on that morning and I was not unduly excited by liquor or otherwise. George W. Ready."

Why Climate-Change Ideology Is Dying
Voters have concluded that the private jet-flying alarmists don’t really believe their own claims.
Tumblr media
Momentous social movements begin to die the moment adherents figure out their leaders don’t believe what they say. Liberal Protestantism’s long decline started in the 1950s, when congregants began to wonder if their ministers still believed the old creeds (they didn’t). Communism dies wherever it’s tried because sooner or later the proletariat realize their self-appointed champions aren’t particularly interested in equality. Many sects and cults dwindle the moment their supposedly ascetic leaders are revealed to be libertines.
Something similar is happening to climate ideology.
For three decades you were labeled a crank, a “climate denier,” someone who pigheadedly rejects “settled science,” if you didn’t embrace the belief that life on earth faces imminent extinction from “global warming” and, later, “climate change.” The possibility that an entire academic discipline, climate science, could have gone badly amiss by groupthink and self-flattery wasn’t thought possible. In many quarters this orthodoxy still reigns unquestioned.
That climate ideology was alarmist and in no way settled should have been obvious. For many, it was. The conclusions of genuine scientific inquiry rarely reinforce the social and political biases of power brokers and influencers, but climate science, like some of the softer social sciences, did exactly that. It purported to discover foreboding trends in inscrutable data and assured us that the only way to arrest them was to do what America’s liberal cultural elite wanted to do anyway—amass political and economic power in the hands of credentialed technocrats, supposedly for the good of all.
The ordinary person, though lacking familiarity with the latest peer-reviewed science, wasn’t wrong to regard the whole business with skepticism. His suspicions were further aroused by contemplating the sheer immensity of the data, all correctly interpreted, required to confirm the conclusions asserted by climate science and its media champions.
Were scientists really so confident they understood what was happening with sunbeams in the upper atmosphere, or that they knew how to gauge accurately the temperature of roughly 200 million square miles of the Earth’s surface, or that they knew how to compare present-day temperatures with those that obtained 50, 100, 1,000 or 5,000 years ago? Or, more important still, that they knew what political and economic measures would mitigate the theoretical apocalypse they inferred from these mountains of data?
Even if aggregate global temperatures are warming, the question is whether this will lead to civilizational cataclysm unless humans radically rearrange how they live. Many capable interpreters of the evidence think the answer is no.
But what has finally convinced ordinary people that the doomsayers are wrong isn’t any interpretation of climate figures. It is the palpable sense that very few of the doomsayers believe what they say.
Why aren’t the moguls and corporate executives who claim to be unnerved by the predictions of climate science giving up their carbon-heavy lifestyles and living in caves—or at least in simpler dwellings than mansions? If progressive VIPs in media, politics and entertainment believe sea levels are ready to rise precipitously, why do they keep buying properties in Martha’s Vineyard, Bar Harbor, Provincetown, Santa Monica and Malibu?
The climate lobby can wave aside these questions if it wishes, but appeals to reports and studies weigh little against the appearance of insincerity. If activists predicting global mayhem really believe what they predict, they would favor an instant transition to zero-emission nuclear power. But they mostly don’t. Every September the transnational elite gather at the U.N. General Assembly to denounce America for its failure to limit carbon emissions—and clog the streets of Manhattan for a week with their privately chartered oversize SUVs.
Disdain for climate alarmism has gone mainstream. Last year the liberal comedian Bill Maher delivered a monologue on his television show in which he blistered celebrities who insist on the need to reduce our “carbon footprint” but zip around the globe on private jets. It is a masterpiece of political invective and has been viewed online by millions.
I don’t call any of this “hypocrisy,” because that term properly refers to the difference between private behavior and public words, and in the case of climate alarmism there is no attempt to hide the behavior or to make it match the words. So, for instance, the Defense Innovation Board, a group sponsored by the Pentagon and chaired by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, issued two studies this month recommending the reconstitution and strengthening of America’s defense industrial base. The reports have merit. But following all their recommendations would require the procurement of vast arrays of manufactured materials produced with natural gas, petrochemicals and coal. Meanwhile, Mr. Bloomberg oversees two nonprofit organizations, Beyond Coal and Beyond Petrochemicals, whose stated aim is to end the country’s use of natural gas, petrochemicals and coal.
Mr. Bloomberg isn’t embarrassed by the contradiction. He hasn’t tried to explain it, except indirectly in a vaguely worded Washington Post op-ed, co-authored with David H. Berger. “The technology needed to make today’s advanced military supplies,” Messrs. Bloomberg and Berger write, “relies on computer chips more than blast furnaces and on research labs more than assembly lines.” Sure. But it does rely on blast furnaces and power stations of the sort Mr. Bloomberg’s activist groups want to shut down. Which will make any thinking person wonder if he believes the catastrophism emitted by his nonprofits.
Climate skeptics groused about these and many similar contradictions for two generations, to little effect on the consensus that ruled unquestioned in boardrooms, universities and government agencies. Then Los Angeles burst into flames. California has been run for many years by people who believe, or say they believe, that climate change is an immediate threat to civilization. Yet now, as thousands of homes are destroyed by fires spread by a seasonal wind so historically predictable it has a name, state and local officials, with the endorsement of a cheerleading media, blame climate change.
These same officials have told us for decades that they accept the direst predictions of climate activists, but they have done little to counter what they now purport to be the effects of climate change. Mayor Karen Bass’s 2024-25 budget proposed a 2.7% cut to the Los Angeles Fire Department, mainly in areas of new equipment purchases. And although the department’s total budget later increased as a result of salary negotiations, it’s pretty obvious that the dangers of wildfires—supposedly the outcome of climate change—weren’t foremost on city leaders’ minds. California has for years underinvested in land management, which might have inhibited the fires from spreading, and water storage, which would have enabled firefighters to put out more fires.
Climate catastrophism has begun to die, the victim of its apostles’ unbelief.
