Summer is definitely winding down on the beaches of Cape Cod with kids back at school and vacationers heading home. This is the last weekend for lifeguards at Coast Guard Beach.
I loved this photograph with the flags blowing and the waves breaking.
The 31st Annual Arey’s Pond Cat Gathering was held this past weekend. It is a just-for-fun regatta for catboats and classic sailboats. It starts in Little Pleasant Bay, goes through The Narrows, and into Pleasant Bay. Every year nearly 100 boats come together for this parade of sail.
It was so much fun on Sunday watching all of the sailboats from the “Cat Gathering” starting their race in Little Pleasant Bay.
After a nice bath at Nauset Marine, the CG36500 is back in the water at Rock Harbor.
I just happened to see Nauset Marine’s FB picture of the CG36500 getting a bath a couple of days ago. And then yesterday, I just happened to be driving down Bridge Road when I saw Nauset Marine’s truck carrying the CG36500 back to the boat launch on the Eastham side of Rock Harbor, so I decided to follow it.
What a treat! The CG36500 is the center of such an amazing story about a ocean rescue off of Chatham that was made into a Disney movie called “The Finest Hours.” Truly unforgettable…
