I loved how the rising sun shone on the historic CG36500 the other morning. So pretty!

“Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat CG-36500 is a historic, 36-foot lifeboat that is berthed at Rock Harbor in Orleans, Massachusetts. 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.”

If you’ve never seen the CG36500, it’s worth the visit to hear its story. And watch Disney’s movie, The Finest Hour, which tells the story of this daring rescue.

There are lots of new pilings at Rock Harbor and so much activity. I took this photo from the Eastham side with the pretty reflection.  It will be interesting to see what it looks like when all the boats are back and all the work is done!

Can you see the new Osprey nest that was erected? It has 2 new Osprey who have built a nest and settled in.
