There are still a lot of boats in the water at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard in Orleans. Many sailors took advantage of the gorgeous, warm weather that we had last week and got out on the water for another sail before the cold weather finally arrives. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I edited this photo two different ways… I couldn’t decide which one I liked better. What do you think?
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?
“Porcelain-berry is a deciduous, perennial, woody vine from Asia that can grow 10 to 15 feet a year. A relative of our native grapes, porcelain-berry produces distinctive fruits in late summer and early fall that change from lilac or green to bright blue.”
