Cormorants, some with wings held aloft to dry, perch on their reef as we approach Michaud Point proper on our long pleasant hike from the Pt. Michaud beach. We are close to the old wharf area but this day we stop here without exploring the point itself and retrace our steps (mainly because I am barefoot and really tender-footed). Michaud point is somewhat 'T' shaped, a rounded islandly T-shape that completes the great hook of land that shelters the Pt. Michaud beach area from the sweeping Atlantic currents and thus countless years of sand deposition have taken place. This makes for a relatively shallow depth to the waters enabling the sun to warm them nicely by summers end.
