By Tom Lesko A perfect ten! Continuing the tradition, the South Shore Beach and Waterfront Tour, in its 10th year, began with another spectacular weather day — full sun and 70º. We were joined by Spiders old and newer, a GTV, a Super, a Sprint Speciale and two new 4Cs! Eleven cars in all and eighteen members. After our traditional meet-and-greet, coffee, and munchkins, I handed out color maps with the day's route indicated in light Alfa red. Similar to past years, our tour included a swing around Hingham Harbor, Crow Point, and the Hingham Yacht Club, and then on to Nantasket Beach for an ocean view and "pause for the cause" at the local Dunkin Donuts. From there, it was a short drive to the summit of the Hull cemetery for a nearly-360º view of the beaches, islands, and bays of the South Shore — fantastic! Continuing on to the end of the Hull peninsula and "Hull Gut", we took a short side trip out to Spinnaker Island in Hingham Bay to see the remains of the early 20th century "Fort Duvall" coast artillery placement of two 16" guns strategically located to protect the coast. The guns are long gone, and condominium units have replaced them on the fort's foundations. Then it was on to the "gold coast" of Cohasset, where the ocean views and beautiful homes were in their usual visual splendor. The Minot Lighthouse overview was our next stop after a nice, twisty stretch that allowed us to exercise our engines a bit. We then toured back over the spectacular roadways of Cohasset and went to Jake's Seafood Restaurant at Steamboat Wharf in Nantasket for a wonderful lunch and conversation. A good time was had by all — looking forward to our next AONE event! Tom Lesko - '65 Giulia Spider Veloce
