Dawn broke on Sunday foggy, while later turning into a brilliant late September sun and the Steamship Wharf in Oak Bluffs lined with children for the Kids Derby. Windsurfers raced through whitecaps off State Beach. Further inland the swamp maples have begun to turn, dropping scarlet leaves onto moss carpets. In the meadows and along the hillsides, goldenrod has emerged in great waves of lemon and ochre.
