Something interesting they’d like to share about themselves:
Well, in my younger years I was an avid windsurfer and I used to race all the time. My most exciting adventure I had was windsurfing to Nantucket from Chatham and back, in one day, over the course of about 8 hours. It’s something I planned to do for years. One day, I was going across on the ferry, and I sort of plotted out the course, looking to see what you could see. It was interesting. I had almost given up getting to Nantucket then I saw one more buoy. I said, I’d go to that buoy, then from there I could actually see Nantucket. I couldn’t see it for part of the way, so I wasn’t sure of where I was going for a while. I had a general idea but wasn’t sure. It was about 8 hours; it was a long day. I was pretty pumped afterwards because I had been planning it for years. Now, I am a drone flyer, a gardener, and a clam digger.
Why Randy keeps coming back to Snowy Owl:
The coffee is great. Its interesting my first gourmet cup of coffee I had was in Stamford. It was the first time I had really good coffee. I kept seeking it out but I could never find it anywhere until I came to Snowy Owl. These pour overs are what I’ve been looking for. Love the coffee and the atmosphere here is just perfect; I admit, I’m more of an afternoon person, than a morning person, but love mornings at Snowy. They are kind of a special treat for me.
Anything they’d like to say about our community (Brewster area/Snowy Owl):
“I like Brewster because it’s rural, but it has enough activity going on so if you wanted to do something, you could find something to do. Everyone thinks of beaches, but there are also lots of hidden gems. The crowd does make Snowy Owl interesting and the surroundings are beautiful! I love going out and walking around the herb garden trails to see things change over the seasons. The location is great too! I can walk here from my house in like an hour and a half if I want to. It’s right off the bike trail and easy to get to! It’s very handy to be so close.
What Snowy Owl’s Kristie Handrinos has to say about Randy:
Randy is often sharing his incredible drone videos he’s shot around Drummer boy Park, the flats, beaches and marches around the Brewster area. One time he showed me this beautiful view from marshlands all the way to the Atlantic Ocean where he regularly “catches really cool colors and flow patterns where the creeks empty into the Bay.” His landscape videos were so intriguing and he felt so familial to me that I actually asked him to tag along while he flew his drone! We met at Drummer Boy Park after my shift at Snowy Owl-- we arrived, unloaded all of the drone equipment, then began the drone flying lesson. First, he showed me which each button did one by one. Next, he actually handed over his drone control over to me (someone who had never flown one)! I flew all around that area in the park! I flew over trees, far up in the sky, and down low near the ground. I was even able to land the drone somewhat near the target! It was such a blast and something I will never forget. Randy is super friendly, he is always asking the baristas what going on in our lives. If he is not sharing drone footage, he is sharing the fruits of his garden, or sharing some other fun facts with us. He is a part of our community that we see weekly at the cafe. Randy along with the other regulars contribute to the cozy, homelike atmosphere that makes Snowy Owl the community meeting spot for Brewster.
