Even though Wednesday was the last day of the summer youth
program, it was still a day full of firsts for me. With all the Harbor Explorer
programs finished, I got to join the All Access Boston Harbor crew and boarded
the Provincetown II (for the first time) and headed out to Peddocks Island
(another first!). It was really foggy on the water and it felt like we were
traveling through the mist towards the end of the world. Suddenly, out of the
clouds appeared a giant wind turbine followed by sightings of land. The fog
moving over the island gave it all a very surreal look.

Upon landing, we had a quick lunch break in the shade and
then headed to the grassy field to play some Frisbee golf. I learned that aim
is not a strong point of mine. Later, I went with Iris, Juelle and Jennifer to
explore the island. We found a great scenic overlook and the yurt campsite. The
yurts were adorable and each one was equipped with bunk beds, table and a
skylight. A camping trip to Peddocks will definitely be on my to-do list for
next summer.

After touring the island, I headed down to the shoreline to
do some fishing with a few of the families that joined us for our last AABH
trip. Unfortunately, we caught mostly rocks and seaweed. But, all our young
fishers were in good spirits and had just as much fun flipping rocks to find
Asian Shore Crabs. It was a lovely day exploring a new corner of the Boston
Harbor with my wonderful coworkers and our AABH participants – all in all, a
great way to close out the 2013 summer youth program.
