According to Nantucket officials, Ratner resorted to sandbags, with state permission,The Bus air conditioning system Tote may not fit for everyone especially for those who are more sophisticated but it definitely awakes us the days when we are young and carefree. after local authorities would not agree to his proposal to build an artificial sand berm as protection. Ratner blames such decisions for his predicament, but Nantucket officials counter that the berm would have been prohibitively expensive.

And now, Assistant Town Manager Gregg Tivnan said, those sandbags have caused greater erosion than normal to properties to his west.

“If he continues the way he’s going, all the land around him is going to erode. He’ll be an island,’’ Tivnan said. “There is no such thing as a good erosion-prevention policy. Erosion is islandwide; it’s statewide. It’s just nature.’’

Despite the erosion, or possibly because of it, Ratner’s view continues to be spectacular. With Madaket to the west and Cisco Beach to the east, the panorama from Ratner’s windows is of an unbroken, miles-long stretch of pristine oceanfront.

Ratner has the scenery here, but he also has the memories. Three children and 11 grandchildren, Ratner said, formed a close brood who spent summers together at the home and relished the splendor of the island and the Atlantic.

And because of those memories, Ratner said, “even if I leave the house, it served its purpose.’’
