\nI don’t know if it’s the perfect weather we’re having or old age sentimentality, but this place is really growing on me. I mean big time! I could live here. Okay, okay. I know I’ve said that before about other places, probably more than once. Guilty as charged. But this time I really mean it. Really.
\nI’ve heard\u00a0that Cohasset was stuffy and stuck-up, but\u00a0for the first time this season, I get a visit from\u00a0a friendly dude from\u00a0a neighboring boat.<\/p>\n

My wife is off on a kayaking adventure. She\u00a0found a waterway to explore that’s\u00a0too shallow even for our dinghy. I make a note to buy myself a kayak so that in the future I can join her, that is, if she wants me too; sometimes it’s nice to go off on your own.\u00a0I\u00a0respect\u00a0that, but\u00a0I wish I had\u00a0the option. We used to have a tandem kayak, but it was\u00a0so difficult to coordinate movements that we\u00a0stopped using it. Eventually we\u00a0sold it to a young\u00a0couple who probably never heard them\u00a0called divorce kayaks<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cohasset Village is cute as a button.\u00a0At Tedeschi’s market, people\u00a0strike up conversations with me like I was a townie. And it’s contagious. I’m normally not all that talkative,\u00a0yet I find myself blabbing away with total strangers like we were old buddies. It’s actually kinda freeing.<\/p>\n

Cohasset yacht club is\u00a0exclusive and\u00a0closed to transient boaters. I can’t even find a phone number\u00a0on the Active Captain cruising guide. There is no shortage of waterfront mansions\u00a0either. We are obviously in a wealthy town. But Cohasset has\u00a0an\u00a0unusual mix of old and new, rich and not so well off, fancy and plain,\u00a0and it casts a charming light over everything, enhancing its natural beauty tenfold.\u00a0There’s a tangible easy-going vibe, a glow, a warmth unlike anywhere else\u00a0I’ve ever been. It’s not just a place,\u00a0it’s a state of mind. Cohassetness.\"img_20160725_160223938\"<\/a><\/p>\n
