It’s been a very busy winter at Rock Harbor watching the crews construct new bulkheads for the docks. It has been amazing what they have to do to achieve this. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see the giant crane working to move some very heavy objects. That is one huge crane!
The project should be completed by the end of April when the weather gets nicer and the boats start returning.
It doesn’t look like spring is coming too soon as the ice is still pretty thick at Rock Harbor and way out into the bay. Before long, spring will be here and the boats will start coming back. But now, it still looks like winter!
It sure has been a very windy winter here on the Cape with the past few days seeing gusts around 45 mph. I wanted to get a video, but the sand was blowing right in my face as soon as I opened the car door. I settled on a photo of the churning waters at Rock Harbor while still sitting in my car!
It’s hard to see the “iconic” rock at Rock Harbor in the winter, especially at high tide. I thought this photograph was so pretty with the snow and ice swirls on the water and the wispy clouds in the sky. What do you think?
You can hardly see where the jetty is on the Eastham side of Rock Harbor. It’s been so cold and there is so much ice on the bay, that it’s hard to even see the jetty, especially at high tide.
But such a pretty photo, don’t you think? I love the ice all around… it looks so cold!
