In another few weeks the boats will start trickling back into the water at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard as anxious sailors and boaters anticipate a day out on the water. Not a boat in the water now but wait… the pond will be full before you know it!

The Boatbuilders Show On Cape Cod This Weekend In Hyannis.
The Boatbuilders Show on Cape Cod is being held this weekend in Hyannis. The show was created 19 years to showcase small, independent boatbuilders and their craft. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It was fun to visit with Tony Davis, owner of Arey’s Pond Boat Yard and see one of his 16’ Open Lynx Catboats and the new 19’ Open Caracal. Wow! Beautiful boats! You can see them both in the featured 1st photograph.
This Boatbuilders Show is known to be the best independent boatbuilders show in the northeast.
If you’re a boat enthusiast, it’s a great place to see the latest wooden boats and talk to some of the boatbuilders.
The show goes through today, Sunday, Feb. 2nd, so you still have time to see these beautiful boats!
How Did That Sailboat Get There On Cape Cod?
We were taking a nice walk at Kent’s Point a couple of days ago when we saw this sailboat on the grass on the little river by the trail. How did it get there?
It looks like it got loose from its mooring and washed up high on the grass with those huge high tides that we had the past couple of weeks.
But how will it get off of the grass? I sure hope they can do something before the cold and the ice sets in. It looks like a nice sailboat.
Arey’s Pond Boat Yard 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?
Quite The Sailing Adventure At Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.
As we were taking a hike at Fort Hill a couple of days ago, we saw this sailboat out on the water on Nauset Marsh, which is very unusual. We’d only seen a sailboat on the marsh only once before as it is so difficult to sail there. It looked like it had started out near the Salt Pond. It was really windy and it was moving pretty fast!
It’s not easy to sail through the marsh with the small, little tributaries and high grasses, but it was high tide and the skipper was maneuvering it very well. We kept watching it through each opening along the trail and it looked like he was having quite the ride! What fun! He must be a pretty seasoned sailor!
