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 just-for-fun Cat Gathering race was held yesterday, starting in Little Pleasant Bay, sailing through the narrows around designated marks and finishing in Big Pleasant Bay. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
There were over 100 sailboats participating in the event. It was so much fun to watch them sail through the narrows at out to Pleasant Bay.
We stopped by on Friday to see the 33′ Catboat that came up from Barnegat Bay in New Jersey to participate in the race. What a gorgeous boat!
The Cat Gathering is a just-for-fun race with all proceeds going toward Friends of Pleasant Bay and non-profit organizations that benefit Pleasant Bay and so much fun for all those involved!
If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, head out to the Handmade Boat Builders Show in Hyannis. There is so much to see and learn. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
“The Boat Builders Show on Cape Cod was created 18 years ago to showcase the boats built by smaller, independent boat builders. It is one of the few boat shows in the country dedicated to providing these builders an opportunity to showcase their work and demonstrate to the boating public the level of quality and personal service that is available.”
If you’re thinking about buying a handmade boat, the boat show has many different sizes , shapes and interest levels. “Don’t miss the boat!”
