There’s a lot of activity at Arey’s Pond as those classic, handmade Catboats are getting ready to be put in the water for the season. You can see some of them already at their moorings or at the dock.
It’s such an exciting time of the year… and look at that sky!
Most of the moorings are out at Arey’s Pond with only a few more to go. Pretty soon this pond will be full of custom catboats, sailboats and motorboats all ready for the exciting summer ahead!
There are many ways to get to Pleasant Bay and one of them is by paddling down the Namequoit River in Orleans. This kayaker was enjoying the last part of her trip out to the bay along the quiet and winding river. #orleans #namequoitriver
Yesterday was the 30th Annual Arey’s Pond Cat Gathering, one of the largest gatherings of catboats on the east coast. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
“Our annual Cat Gathering is a time for catboats of all shapes and sizes to come together for a just-for-fun regatta through Pleasant Bay. Every year over 80 boats come together for this parade of sail.”
It was just spectacular to see all of those sailboats out on the water!
You know it’s summer when this 3-masted schooner makes its way back to Pleasant Bay for the summer. What a gorgeous sailboat! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It was fun to be out on the water when it motored by. You almost felt like you were “playing with the big boys!”
