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 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.”
We took a ride by Rock Harbor yesterday morning and the parking lot by Young’s was already gated shut. I thought I’d better get a photo looking back at the dock where all of the fishing boats used to dock side by side because that view will soon be gone. You can already see all of the construction equipment staged in the big parking lot.
Everything changes at some point, but sometimes it’s just hard to accept change to something you’ve known for so long.
Today is the last day this fall to park in the parking lot by Young’s Seafood at Rock Harbor and get this beautiful view. The work for changing how the boats will dock there and adding new slips starts this week and should take quite a while.
You can see the fishing boats that were previously docked by Young’s are now using the slips on the other side. They all look like they are “ready to go!”
I couldn’t decide which photo I liked better… what do you think?
