Scrapbook: Which Way to the Beach?

was alive with boating, sunning, swimming and socializing, otherwise known as swapping lies.

A few souls took to the water.

Among them a threesome in a row boat with fishing rods.

Swampscott High sailing team members stepped into wetsuits for swim tests.

Two Middle School kids braved a dive from the pier into the calm and cold harbor.

Swampscott High seniors sat shoulder to shoulder on the pier, sharing the sun and laughs on what they called the first day of summer.

At the shore sea glass hunters and kids with shovels plied their trades.

On the Fish House bench and under the Yacht Club deck mariners talked yesterday, tomorrow and today, whiling away hours in a summer wind on March 22.
