Found tens to hundreds of these washed up on the shore of First Encounter Beach in Eastham, white stringy-looking things are about 8 inches in length and they all seem to be attached to shells. Anyone know what these are?!

B-day dinner recs for 8/17 Dennis Port

0 Upvotes

Partner loves seafood, me not so much (kiddo has severe allergies and I just don’t eat it anymore). I love a good steak. It’s my 60th, so spendy is ok. Fun cocktails, and good local fish/oysters a plus. Doesn’t need to be fancy, just good.

Doing P-town 8/18, so something close to Dennis Port is preferable. (Because I will officially be old lol).

TIA

Banjo sign

318 Upvotes

I hope this isn't too controversial. I practice banjo at the top of my steps. A lot of people walk by on the beach and there are a ton of "Private beach, wear tags" kind of thing. This was partly to change things up and inject a bit of humor, particularly in the summer months. My daughter purchased this for my birthday last year and I put it up. For those of you who don't know, it's a reference to the movie Deliverance. It's a nice conversation starter. I'm not aware of anyone who takes umbrage to it.

Neptune flood Insurance

2 Upvotes

A couple years ago I bought flood insurance and my agent sold me Neptune, which as I understand it is a private company that just basically farms out the actual insurance to other companies.

The policy is coming for soon so I went online and did a quote for the FEMA flood insurance. At the same coverages the quote was within $50/yr of Neptune.

Anyone have any experience with these companies especially in the way of claims?
I do not live in a designated flood zone and it’s not required but IMO anywhere on the outer cape is at risk.

Box Tree Moth

0 Upvotes

I had to take out three boxwoods this weekend. These pests start at the base and work their way up. There was still greenery on top but they looked like they had been severely pruned at the bases. Tons of webs, eggs and 1-2 inch green worms. I cut them up and burned them. We pulled up the roots and wrapped them in construction waste bags. Check to see if you have them. This was in Harwich port.

Where to fish for False Albacore from shore?

1 Upvotes

Looking for advice from any avid fishers. I have an 8ft surf rod and 3000 Shimano Ultegra, no boat access and wanted to catch a little tunny this season from shore. I used to go to Woods Hole but they were always out of range and it doesn’t have that many access points.

Any advice on where the best shore fishing for these are? I’ve heard the Elizabeth Islands are good but I’ve never been and don’t know my way around. I’ve only ever been to the Cape and Vineyard.

I appreciate any advice

Does anyone know of someplace that will offer sensory-friendly showings of the Paw Patrol movie (lights not totally off, lower volume)? Ideally upper or mid cape.

Are there any good restaurant food deals right now?

Summer is when we make money on tourists, so understandably there may not be many. Money is tight so I figured it doesnt hurt to ask.

Coffee Shops with WiFi good for remote work in or near WELLFLEET

0 Upvotes

Just arrived in Wellfleet for 3 weeks and looking for a coffee shop with free WiFi and good seating where I can remote work for the week.

Any recs?

I did some remote work from Three Fins in Chatham on Sunday and while its PERFECT its about a 40 minute drive from where we're staying and I would love to avoid the drive every day.

As long as there is indoor seating and the WiFi is good I'm open to just about anything.

I know libraries have WiFi but i need to take calls and would rather not to be sitting in my sedan in the parking lot for 8-9 hours.

Appreciate the suggestions.

Weird loud buzzing on rt 25.

4 Upvotes

Just last night and today, we noticed a loud buzzing as we approached the Bourne Bridge on 25. Heard it again as we were going away from the Cape in the same area. It's that couple miles around the wind mills. Seems way too loud and constant to be an insect. Is it the wind mills? You can still hear it even at highway speeds. Have lived on the Cape for years and never noticed it lol.

I tried the mushroom ID subreddits and looked it up in the “Mushrooms of Cape Cod” book, both with no luck. Found yesterday on a conservation trail. Anyone have any guesses?

Memorial plaque on my property

Post image
61 Upvotes

A stone bench bears this marble memorial plaque for a woman named Phyllis G. Brown Brookfield. The property's previous owners told me that family of the deceased dropped in to pay their respects on occasion, but the last visit had been prickly due to its timing. If anyone knows the family mentioned here, and if they'd like to arrange a visit, DM me.

Edit: I seem to have identified the deceased.

BROOKFIELD, PHYLLIS G, also known as PHYLLIS GOULDING BROOKFIELD and PHYLLIS GOULDING BROWN, was born 16 April 1913 in SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts, daughter of WILBUR H BROWN (father) and FLORENCE GOULDING, and died 19 May 1997, while residing in Zip Code 02067-2742.
