The combination clambake and wedding-planning trip, while not the smooth sailing Sarah had hoped for, was reasonably successful. Photos are here. The three identical shots near the end are the engagement photo, set up for three different aspect ratios, for your convenience.

An exciting new event has been added: the Clarks are hosting a Welcome Party on Friday evening, for all of the out-of-town guests...which is just about everyone. Although the Chatham Band season probably won't start until the following Friday, there may well be a home game of the local Cape Cod Baseball League team, the Chatham A's.

The biggest concern is still lodging. See right below this, in the previous update, where we mentioned that renting a house might make more sense? That's still true. Word on the street is Chatham is a renter's market, if there is such a phrase. We visited a house with a water view, that sleeps four, that cost $1800 a week; devotees of our lodging page will note how
that compares to the Chatham Bars rate. But seriously, folks, do consider the rental option. Links are on the lodging page.
