Seal And Seagull Fighting For Fish At Chatham Fish Pier On Cape Cod

It was pretty cool to see this sea and seagull fighting for the fish that the fishermen had just thrown overboard at the Fish Pier In Chatham. They both came at the same time and were determined to get that fish!

I wonder who won? It almost looks like the seagull is taking it right out of the seal’s mouth! It was a lot of fun to watch…

 

Glorious Day For A Bike Ride To Coast Guard Beach, Nauset Light And Nauset Light Beach On Cape Cod

Wednesday was a glorious day for a bike ride… anywhere on Cape Cod. It was sunny, breezy and beautiful with temperatures in the mid-sixties. Just perfect for a bike ride.

I got on the Cape Cod Bike Trail and headed out to Coast Guard Beach. I think it’s one of the prettiest rides around here. It was so nice that I continued out to Nauset Light Beach and Nauset Light. You couldn’t ask for a better day and I wondered when the next time I could do this would be with the colder weather coming.

So, this is my “selfie” at Coast Guard Beach with Nauset Marsh and the ocean in the background.

Thousands Of Shipwrecks Off Of Cape Cod

When we went to the Open House at the Coast Guard Station at Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod last weekend, there was a poster that showed the shipwrecks off of Cape Cod, which we were told was in the thousands. Wow!

This poster is unbelievable, don’t you think? With all of the sand bars and constantly shifting sands, it was very hard to sail around Cape Cod in the early days.
