You can still see all the Cormorants congregating in “the rock” at Rock Harbor. They love to perch up there and spread their wings to dry them!
Pretty soon they will be gone for the winter and we’ll await their arrival next spring and look forward to seeing them atop “the rock” at Rock Harbor again.
The wheelchair accessible blue mats are gone at Coast Guard Beach for the winter. These mats are wonderful in the summer as they provide a non-slippery access mat so that people with disabilities can enjoy the beach.
The CG36500 is still in the water and docked at Rock Harbor. “Built in 1946, it is notable for its involvement in the 1952 SS Pendleton rescue, one of the most daring such events recorded in the history of the United States Coast Guard . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, and now serves as a museum boat.”
What a wonderful boat and a truly inspiring story! I’m sure it’s almost time to move this famous boat to its “winter home.”
“The Highland Light (previously known as Cape Cod Light) is an active lighthouse on the Cape Cod National Seashore in North Truro. The current tower was erected in 1857, replacing two earlier towers that had been built in 1797 and 1831. It is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod.“
Highland Light is such a beautiful lighthouse. Have you ever been there?
I can’t believe that it’s almost November and I am still picking Zinnias from my garden. The weather has been so sunny and warm that they’ve been so prolific and they’re still blooming!! It’s so nice to have fresh flowers in the house.
