Letter from the editor

“Living on Cape Cod is simply matchless by all measures, residents will tell you that in most cases the feel of the Cape life is alive and well even today.”

Old Cape Cod & The Islands

I

n the year 1957, Patti Page released a song that turned out to be the best tourism plug in history for the region, “Old Cape Cod;” it was an instant hit for the ages.

In the 1950s Cape Cod’s total population was about 40,000, mostly living in the Upper-Cape and Mid-Cape regions. There were only about 6000 residents on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket at the time. By 1960, over 2500 summer homes were built in Cape Cod & The Islands.

At that time, only 65% of the homes were for year-round living; ironically, in 2020 those numbers remain relatively the same.

Summering on Cape Cod became the rage for many throughout the Northeast after new bridges built in the 1930s and the Mid-Cape Highway (US Route 6) completed in the 1950s, opened access to the Cape. In 1961 President John F. Kennedy, whose family summered in Hyannis Port, signed the legislation that established The Cape Cod National Seashore as a national treasure to be protected.

Today, Cape Cod & The Islands are home to just over 250,000 year-round residents which swells to over 1 million in the summer months occupying 70,000 summer homes and more than 3500 hospitality and hotel facilities. Living on

Cape Cod is simply matchless by all measures, residents will tell you that in most cases the feel of the Cape life is alive and well even today. The Cape is 65 miles in length and ranges from 1 mile wide to 20 miles wide, no matter where you are, you’re not far from a beach or beautiful coastal area. All of the 15 towns on the Cape are in Barnstable County. Dukes County covers Martha’s Vineyard and The Elizabeth Islands. Nantucket is the only town in Nantucket County.

We often take for granted what others consider special, especially in our own backyard. The Cape & Islands are nothing short of amazing. The lifestyle, the scenic beauty, and the small-town feel of its communities are truly unrivalled.

In this issue we will take a peek at Cape Cod & The Islands. I hope it gives you a reason to take a closer look for yourself. • All the Best,

CSHORE KITCHEN AND BAR WELLFLEET, MA CShore Kitchen and Bar is Cape Cod’s newest casual-dining restaurant, located in Wellfleet, MA. CShore is focused on serving up the most delicious American style cuisine with a southern influence, something that is totally unique to the Cape Cod dining scene. CShore understands the importance of a beautiful presentation, noting that in their kitchen they make art – not food! They have a gorgeous outdoor dining area, a full-size bar, a fire pit and spacious interior.

TWENTY-EIGHT ATLANTIC AT WEQUASSET RESORT AND GOLF CLUB HARWICH, MA Twenty-Eight Atlantic is likely one of the most beautiful restaurants that I have ever had the pleasure to visit. The restaurant recently became one of the 74 restaurants worldwide to receive the coveted Five-Star rating from Forbes Travel Guide – and for good reason. Twenty-Eight Atlantic offers seating both indoors and outdoors over 27 waterfront acres, and offers a menu that includes both elegant and casual options led by Executive Chef, James Hackney. When the restaurant opens back up for the season in April 2021, there are several items on the menu that you absolutely must try.

First is the Native Lobster Carbonara, which is every pasta and seafood lover’s dream. This dish is made up of Bucatini, Craft Pancetta, Egg Yolk, MV Shittake and Caviar, topped with huge chunks of fresh lobster. The dish is aesthetically pleasing and colorful, and tastes even better than it looks.

New Technology for an Age-Old Problem One of the most innovating and newest technologies in foundations and footings for building of all kind, is screw piles.

The technology has been around since the mid1800s and had stood the test of time and durability with all types of soil applications and weather conditions. The first screw-pile supported structures were lighthouses built by a blind Irish engineer Alexander Mitchell in 1838 at the mouth of the Thames River in Southern England. The innovating method of using screw piles which were sunk deep into sandy river bottoms provided a solid structural base for these lighthouses which are still operating today. In the United States, several screw-pile lighthouses were built in the Chesapeake Bay due to its estuarine soft bottom and in North Carolinas sounds and river entrances and through the Southeast including Florida and its many keys.

HE STRENGTH, DURABILITY AND INTEGRITY of any structure built above ground today is in the foundation it rests upon. Foundations are designed to accommodate weight bearing loads above them in any type of soil conditions and in colder climates, variable frost depths. The single most important factor in building any structure, including decks, additions, docks and raised structures is soil conditions.

Throughout the country in all regions soil conditions vary from compacted dirt, to till, clay, ledge, rock, loose sand and particulates as well as combinations of all of the above. The secret to successful building projects of any kind is to get it right the first time, and with foundations there are no second chances. Any failure after building results in cost often 2-3 times the original investment to correct structural issues.

I-BEAM ADJUSTABLE HEAD

GoliathTech has taken an age-old technology and transformed it into a simple and reliable solution for building foundations and footings in any region, any soil condition, at any time of year.

Their process is flexible, reliable and offers a quick and simple solution to an age-old problem that is guaranteed for 50 years.

Screw-piles and helical anchors are unique among most other types of foundations or anchoring systems in that they can be loaded immediately after installation. There is no need to wait for concrete or grout to harden, or in the case of driven piles, no need to wait for excess

pore water pressures to dissipate. In almost all soil conditions the ultimate capacity of screw-piles and helical anchors will increase with time as a result of aging effects and thixotropy. This means that the capacity for load increases over time as the foundation footings age.

Helical piles are a deep foundation solution that allows for construction in weak soil types and in limited access sites. They are well known for their lack of noise and limited ground disturbance. The benefit of using

Helical piles is that companies are able to get to the correct depth in a much more economical way. A crew of four can set a foundation in hours instead of days. With the ongoing drive to lower production cost, helical anchors are becoming more and more popular for deep foundation work all around the world. They have become the leading application for engineers and architects.

Jeff O’Rourke from GoliathTech explained, “This process has created an entirely new opportunity to quickly install stable foundations, footings, fencing, docks & deck support systems in any soil conditions including water with minimal site disturbance in any weather condition.

We can provide a stronger, more reliable and longer lasting solution for structures of all kinds that will stand the test of time and perform in any application. Getting this task done very quickly with no heavy equipment, site interruption and digging makes it a game changer.” • On your next project contact the pros at GoliathTech for building and construction foundation solutions at www.goliathtechne.com or 978.362.8900

cape cod & the islands

Water Taxi to Chatham’s North Beach.

INSIDE: Upper Cape | Mid Cape | Lower Cape | Outer Cape | Martha’s Vineyard | Nantucket

A Cape & Island Life Cape Cod & the islands of Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket are simply one of the most pristine parts of America. Each year over 5 million tourist flock to the region to experience just a small piece of life in this spectacular region. There is only one thing better than a visit to your favorite place and that is making it your home or a home away from home. Of all the places I have ever traveled in my life, Cape Cod and the Islands are still my favorite. It is amazing, such a small and precious place can capture so much of our hearts and minds that we just keep going back, time after time.

Living in Cape Cod is a dream that can be made a reality.

The laid-back lifestyle, sweeping beaches, and lush landscapes make the Cape a paradise to live in for zesty summers and laid-back winters.

From Cape Cod & Islands Association of Realtors,”2020 was truly a year unlike any other for Cape Cod real estate.

The market broke and then re-broke records in nearly every key measurable category, setting new historic highs for median sales price, dollar volume and transaction volume.” remarks CCIAOR CEO Ryan Castle. “Closed sales ended the year up nearly 20% for single family homes, and median sales price ended the year up 17.8%. Market activity was unusually brisk through the winter, reflecting continued strong demand for homes on Cape Cod.” From Kinlin Grover Real Estate, “ If you could travel back in time to 1950, chances are you would not recognize the communities of Cape Cod. Only 47,000 people lived here then, and almost everyone who had a home on the Cape was a fulltime resident. The local economy was still dependent on a robust fishing industry and fast-growing summer tourism. Today, the year-round population has

cape cod & the islands grown by over 350 percent to 250,000 yearround residents in Cape & Islands towns”.

According to the Cape Cod Commission, roughly 41% of all Cape Cod homes are seasonal. The majority of these are empty in the winter. This means that the homes are generally easy to show, even on short notice.

Kinlin Grover also noted, “Among the wealthiest second-home owners, more than 60 percent have their primary residences elsewhere

Cape Cod, a Golfer’s Dream

Farm Neck Golf Course Martha’s Vineyard

With more than three dozen golf courses, Cape Cod, Massachusetts is a golfer’s delight. Whether you’re an avid golfer who prefers the amenities of a private golf resort or someone who enjoys playing a variety of public courses, the perfect golf experience awaits you on Cape Cod. Near every great golf course are fabulous options for living your dream. Fairway Pointe near the recently revamped Cape Club in Falmouth is a great choice. If resort style living near the ocean is more your style then Willowbend, New Seabury or Brewster’s Ocean Edge Resort are a great fit. Cummaquid Golf Club in the quaint town of Yarmouth Port is enveloped by the tight-knit neighborhood of Cummaquid Heights, the perfect spot for settling in and making friends.

The Cape has so many options for golf communities, it’s hard to know where to begin.

The Islands of Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket Real estate sales on Martha’s Vineyard soared past the $1 billion threshold for the first time in 2020, shattering previous records as an unprecedented bull market for homes, buoyed by the pandemic, drove the market. According to year-end data compiled from the Dukes

in Massachusetts, mostly in the Boston metro area. Another 10 percent come from Connecticut and Rhode Island. About 5 percent of secondhome owners have their primary residence in New Jersey, while nearly 6 percent live in New York”.

“As a result, for so many second-home owners, their Cape residence really is their “other” home, enjoyed year-round. Many will leave work Thursday night and spend a long weekend on the Cape”. The Cape has so much to offer, all in close proximity. From quiet beaches, to winding bike & recreation paths, to parks and quaint small villages for shopping and dining by the sea. By all standards it is vacation home living that is relatively close to major metro markets and transportation hubs in the affluent Northeast.

County Registry of Deeds, the Island finished 2020 with a total sales volume of $1.09 billion.

The median home sale price on Martha’s Vineyard jumped from $875,000 in 2019, the previous Island record, to $1,035,000 in 2020, an 18 percent increase.

The Vineyard’s sister island of Nantucket has seen an even more dramatic increase in its real estate market. Traditionally about twice as expensive as the Vineyard, Nantucket surpassed the $2 billion threshold for the first time in 2020, with median home prices hovering around $2 million. The typical home value of homes in Nantucket is $1,716,533.

This value is seasonally adjusted and only includes the middle price tier of homes.

Nantucket home values have gone up 4.9% over the past year.

Cape Cod and The Islands are actually broken into 6 distinct regions, let’s explore each of them a bit and what each has to offer for living “The Cape & Islands Life”, in a primary or co-primary second home.

The Upper Cape The Upper Cape comprises the towns of Sandwich, which is the oldest of the Cape towns, Bourne, Falmouth, and Mashpee. It is the first region you reach after crossing the Cape Cod Canal, which is the longest sea-level canal in the world, boasting 7 miles of bike and footpaths on each bank.

Within the four major towns are the villages of Woods Hole, Pocasset, Sagamore and Sagamore Beach, and Cataumet. Mashpee is home to New Seabury. This region alone is home to 10 beautiful beaches and 10 great golf courses.

Barnstable is the county seat, and Hyannis is known as Cape Cod’s one and only metropolis.

The Mid Cape runs from Cape Cod Bay on the north to Nantucket Sound to the south.

There are 100 miles of public beaches in Barnstable. There are nearly 20 public & private golf courses in the Mid-Cape region.

The Outer Cape consists of Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. Here you will find little distraction from the natural beauty that Patti Page sang about back in the 1950s. Miles of pristine beaches, sea grasses, and sand dunes are the attraction of this part of the Cape. This strip of land is so narrow that in some areas, the distance from the ocean to the bay is only a mile.

Martha’s Vineyard The Island of Martha’s Vineyard is just 7 miles off the coast of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. On less than 100 square miles, you’ll find the 6 adorable small towns of Tisbury (Vineyard Haven), Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, West Tisbury, Chilmark and Aquinnah. Year round there are barely 15,000 residents but summertime brings that number closer to 200,000.

Passion

The fire that sparks change, that feeds our ability to evolve and make an impact on others around us.

There is no right or wrong answer, it is personal to everyone. That’s what make it unique, our perspective, our vision values and goals.

What is important is how we determine our goals, is it a project or is it a passion you have to complete?

Eventually are passion is what discovers what direction our lives head into. If it is a career change, why is a huge question isn’t it? When we feel passionate about our career it’s not work it’s fun and exciting. It becomes who we are and as a result you get better at your craft.

If family time is something you are passionate about, you create ways to integrate both personal & professional lives. My point is simply this, don’t get stuck in a job you don’t like maintaining a lifestyle you became accustomed to. Create choices that get you to your ultimate destination which provides you happiness.

Life is exactly what we design it to be, it’s never too late to reinvent ourselves. Let’s empower ourselves and others in the process to manifest happiness, a paycheck will never be able to provide that inspiration if there’s no passion.

What are you passionate about? I’d challenge you to write down 5 items you want, 5 non-negotiable choices you need to have at your current workplace & the lifestyle you dream about. Once you are clear on what that vision looks like, run towards it and do not deviate.

I wish you all happiness, health, & success!

As our lives are ever changing due to the massive strike of the pandemic, health and fitness should still remain a valuable, important piece of our daily routine. Along with a healthy diet, exercise is a great way to boost, not only physical health, but mental health as well. Unfortunately, the pandemic has taken a huge toll on the health and fitness industry. Many consumers who once enjoyed going to their local gyms are now encouraged to stay home to slow the spread of the virus or due to the closing of these facilities. Others simply choose not to renew memberships due to the fear of the health and safety protocols put into place and how well they are being followed.

There are many disadvantages to at home workouts including a decrease in motivation, lack of equipment or space, or simply the lack of knowledge of the different exercises that can be performed at home.

TRX may be the solution that these consumers are looking for! TRX is a form of suspension training that offers full body workouts, as well as workouts that target specific areas of the body (arms, legs, core, etc).

There are many benefits to TRX including but not limited to: • TRX is simple and easy to learn •T he only piece of equipment you need is the strap which can be purchased here • You can perform the exercises from your home and need limited space • It can be as easy or hard as you make it and are ready for • It is portable and easy to set up •T here are plenty of modifications to tend to all different body types and ages • There are no age restrictions, anyone can do it • There are tons of online resources and instructions to follow If you are looking to better your physical or mental health, TRX is a great option. Whether you don’t have the space or aren’t sure what exercises to perform, TRX makes at-home workouts simple, easy, and fun!

Josh specializes in coaching people and corporations, and he firmly believes that finding your ‘drive within’ is the motivator to reach your goals.
