There is a plaque at Pahwah Landing that many people have asked me about when I’ve posted some of the beautiful views of Little Pleasant Bay on my blog. (Click on blog link for close-up photo.)
The Osprey nest across the river at Pahwah Point was erected by the Orleans Conservation Trust in “Loving memory of Jodie Limon Montoya who lived from July 24, 1963 to July 14, 2014 whose passion for nature and the preservation of wildlife serves as an inspiration to all who were privileged to know her.”
If you happen to go by there this summer, you’ll see 2 Ospreys in their nest and maybe even some little ones!
The moorings were all tagged and put in the water this past week at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard. And, our wonderful custom-built Catboat has been launched and is on the dock waiting for its first sail of the season. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It’s been so much fun having a sailboat… again. I grew up racing sailboats with my brother and Phil had his own sailboat. During the shut-down of Covid, we decided that it would be fun to own a sailboat, get back out on the water and enjoy sailing once again. There’s no feeling like it! We’ve had a blast these past few years and are looking forward to another breezy, wind-filled summer of sailing!
Every time we go to Pahwah Landing, there is something new to see. The views are always changing and always gorgeous! Pretty soon we might see some boats back out there on Little Pleasant Bay.
Little Pleasant Bay was pretty iced over when we stopped by the other day. But oh, so pretty! Look at those puffy little clouds along the horizon and Hog Island in the distance…
I was just commenting to Phil that I hadn’t seen a Great Blue Heron in such a long time when there he was, patiently waiting for a fish to swim by at Pahwah Landing on Little Pleasant Bay.) Click on blog link for other photo.)
We hadn’t been there in a long while either, so it was a treat to see so many birds in the water. The Great Blue Heron has always been my favorite bird. It’s so beautiful and so regal!
I couldn’t decide which photo I liked better, what do you think?
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.
The sun was so pretty looking down the Namequoit River as we sat on the bench anticipating motoring our catboat down the river from Arey’s Pond and out into Pleasant Bay. It won’t be too long now…
