Nahant has been calling me for some time. I remember my first trip out to the island; I knew instantly, I had found something very special. A twenty minute bike ride and a short hike, and I feel completely transported away from the city. I love looking out to sea and not seeing land. Strangely enough, it is both peaceful and comforting. Every time I visit the island I learn something new about it, I see something I have never seen before.

Our muscles burned as we raced down the causeway. This may have been the fastest I have ever gone on my bike.

40 steps, a place where friends leap from the rocks and swim beneath the ocean’s surface.

We talked about the future.  Biking and surfing are all that matter.
