We took a ride over to Arey’s Pond Boat Yard yesterday morning to see if there was anything going on yet. The moorings are tagged and ready to go in but… there’s still a bit of ice on the pond! What a cold winter it’s been!
Hopefully spring is right around the corner and we’ll see some moorings and boats start to appear!
I’m sure these Double-Crested Cormorants think they have the perfect place to perch at Boat Meadow Beach. What could be nicer than airing your feathers while sitting on a beautiful little sailboat enjoying the gorgeous views… and watching all the fish swim by while thinking about which one will be lunch?
Hmmmm… I wonder if the owners of the sailboat have the same thoughts…
The 33rd Annual Cat Gathering put on by Arey’s Pond Boat Yard was held last weekend. There were a lot of excited sailors racing on the beautiful and breezy day. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It is a just-for-fun regatta for catboats and classic sailboats. It starts in Little Pleasant Bay, goes through The Narrows, and into Pleasant Bay. Every year nearly 100 boats come together for this parade of sail.
We watched the start of each race at Pahwah Point and then headed over to Pleasant Bay.
You could see how close the races were as they rounded the buoys.
What a gorgeous day and a fun time had by all!
