It’s so nice to see the CG36500 back in the water at Rock Harbor, after much “sprucing up” in Chatham in the past few weeks.
The CG36500 has so much history. “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. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, and now serves as a museum boat.”
It was such a treat to see these two Osprey building their nest high on top of the pole right above all of the hustle and bustle at Rock Harbor. The Osprey have a perfect view of all the goings on at Rock Harbor and the people have a perfect view of what’s going on in the Osprey nest!
This was one of them, waiting for the other to bring back lunch!
This was such a gorgeous view at Rock Harbor the other morning. You can see that a few boats have been put in with this warmer weather. Beautiful sky, don’t you think?
It looks like the Osprey are back and intent on building their home on top of this light pole. They had a nest there last year and raised a couple of young chicks. It’s so much fun to watch the Osprey as they build their gorgeous nests high above the commotion on the ground below. Such beautiful birds… and always a welcome sign in the spring!
