better left unsaid

If you take a right off the ferry and go all the way to the end of the road, you get to the Coast Guard sta­tion and north light house. I parked at the end of the road try­ing not to take a spot in the lit­tle park­ing lot for the sta­tion, and walked around the tip of the island. It’s tough to not stare out at the ocean and be cap­ti­vated — from here it’s just unin­ter­rupted hori­zon — but on the way back to the car I thought this view cap­tured the lone­li­ness of the sta­tion pretty well.
