Winter Storm Malcom

I just must know....where do the stairs go....?

Those stairs lead to the future.

In season there's a ramp to a floating dock off the stairs. You have to go up so it can clear the rip-rap. It's visible on Google Earth. It's probably there so the Harbormaster can hang out, or the USCG can get to the light without having to walk a mile down the breakwater. It's a nice walk, but not if you're carrying a toolbox. I like the guy in Tom's first shot who's planning to go for a sail and has his jib out already. People who leave their R/F sails up all year must like buying new ones.

We normally leave our RF sails up all year, until we've made a decision where to ride out an approaching storm. Then, and only then, do they come off the boat, in hurricane season. Gotta leave them on for the chance we'd rather run than stay.
But, I'd have to agree, that was the second thing I noticed about that pic, after the water conditions.
