Handmade Boat Builders Show On Cape Cod Is In Hyannis This Weekend.

o

If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, head out to the Handmade Boat Builders Show in Hyannis. There is so much to see and learn. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

 

“The Boat Builders Show on Cape Cod was created 18 years ago to showcase the boats built by smaller, independent boat builders. It is one of the few boat shows in the country dedicated to providing these builders an opportunity to showcase their work and demonstrate to the boating public the level of quality and personal service that is available.”

If you’re thinking about buying a handmade boat, the boat show has many different sizes , shapes and interest levels. “Don’t miss the boat!”

Beautiful Ring-Necked Ducks At Herring Pond In Eastham On Cape Cod.

It’s so much fun to go birding here on Cape Cod in the winter. You never know what you will see or where you will see it. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

There were quite a few birds swimming around at Herring Pond the other day. I always love the Ring-necked Ducks. They look like they should be called “Ring-billed Ducks” instead as their ring is around their bill and not their neck.

The Ring-necked Ducks  are not like dabbling ducks… they dive to eat submerged plants and aquatic invertebrates.
