It also covers up to Canada, and down the Atlantic Seaboard. The Gulf of Maine has become a hotspot of activity, too.

Very cool. My kids love sharks.

Unfortunately 14-day quarantines still in effect coming from DMV to the Cape...

Shark warning posted yesterday in Boston Globe; similar article in NYT.

What say you, Crazy Cape Cod Cheerleader? I’m beginning to wonder if she’s actually a hired hand for the local shark community. Think: Belushi’s land shark on SNL.

Way too expensive. (10K for a small house in Chatham)
Beautiful.
Water too cold to swim in.
Snooty. My snootiest Aunt goes every year. Preppy heaven.
Too far from DC for me to visit regularly.

What do you think about Cape Cod?

Here now, hunkered down in my home, loving life. People are friendly and kind. I love it here.

What in the world...granted it was 2012 but we paid $2400 for a week in a 4 BR place (2 families) in Eastham about 1/3 walk from the Bay. $10K????

Chatham is very tony - the snots in DC would not go anywhere else, except for the Vineyard.

Suggested quarantine. No enforcement.

I grew up in Hingham and have never see this before. It also is not near the cape and I have heard nothing of this and I am here on the Cape now.

We were paddle boarding at the bathing beach this week and saw one. I actually think I got a mild sting on a finger because the pain lasted a few days, just like a bee sting.

No one has reported them on the cape yet.

And the Uber snoots go to ACK. Smaller, more expensive and harder to get to.

I think there are 3 or 4 pro shark info people on the thread dueling with one anti-shark disclosure person. Interesting.
