The 14 foot Catboat National Championship Races were held yesterday by Arey’s Pond Boat Yard. It was lucky that they were held yesterday before the winds from Hurricane Erin arrive today. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We watched from Pahwah Pont. There is always something fun to see on Cape Cod.
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!
