Kayaks

Kayaks

  Last week I went home, to a fragile peninsula on the southeast coast of Massachusetts. I got up on my second morning there, walked to a nearby beach, and launched my kayak. It was very cold and an earlier snowstorm had left tongues of blue-white under the pitch pines. A front was looming to the south, and the dark bank of nimbostratus filtered the sunlight, so that it splayed across the sea in fingers of silver and smoke; exactly the colors of a mackerel's scales, although this was not the type of cloud cover named for that fish.
