The morning after the blizzard this past weekend on Cape Cod saw waves that were unreal! They were huge. You couldn’t see any beach or sand at any of the beaches that we stopped at which included Boat Meadows, Nauset Beach, Nauset Light Beach and Coast Guard Beach. The waves consumed the entire beach!
Spectacular, don’t you think?
The Disney blockbuster movie, The Finest Hours, will hit movie theaters on January 29, 2016. It is a true story of of the US Coast Guard’s most daring rescue off of Chatham on Cape Cod.
The CG36500, which was built in 1946, was decommissioned in 1968 and eventually fell into disrepair. The Orleans Historical Society acquired ownership and restored the vessel.
The CG36500 is docked at Rock Harbor in Orleans during the summer months and is operated as a “floating museum,” open to visitors.
The book was awesome, so check out the movie! I am so looking forward to seeing this daring rescue.
Was I surprised to see a black dot in the water on Nauset Beach in Orleans on Cape Cod when I was taking a walk the other day on a very cold and blustery day. I thought it was a seal, but it didn’t dive underwater.
It wasn’t until I took a photograph and zoomed in that I realized it was a surfer. Wow! He certainly was a brave soul to venture out into the waves on such a day! I shivered just thinking abut it!
I have never seen so many Robins in the middle of winter getting a drink from the snow on our deck in Orleans on Cape Cod. They were everywhere.
I loved this little guy on the picnic table getting a little drink from the new-fallen snow. Along the railing, many more robins were lined up also enjoying the snow. I was taking photographs through the window, so they did not come out clear enough to post.
I have never seen a bird come up on the deck to eat some snow, have you?
