It was nothing special in my eyes but I'm not that up to date on Cape prices. I feel fortunate that I bought when I did 5 years ago.
I spent many family vacations on the Cape back in the 70's. What I hear, is that a big difference between now and then is the seals. I can't recall there being ANY seals on the Cape 40 years ago but I'm told they are all over now. And where there are seals, there are sharks. And to a shark, you are a seal. And to sharks, seals are tasty. Put all that together, and I'll stick with fresh water.
