Once up there, the view was incredible. On good days, you could see Nantucket, an arm of it, reaching toward the Vineyard and even the tip of Monomoy - Lord knows how far away. I've told you the story of our stormbound night we spent in the keeper's house and how cold and scared we all were. It gave us time to think how hard an existance the former keepers of Cape Pogue had it there. I always think it rather ironic that as the gull flew they were so close to Edgartown, but as these keepers had to travel, well, they were 30 years away from Edgartown, indeed. I thank you for featuring your lovely photos of the new Cape Pogue and I laud the efforts of the present preservationists to keep this spot so lonely and loved all at the same time.
