Friday we were heading out, and I hear on 13, "Vessels approaching hurricane barrier, bear off immediately, leave channel clear"... and then moments later I see the ship clearing the gates is the USCG Eagle: (Sorry, didn't have my good camera, just cell from a distance)

She was tied up alongside the fishing fleet:

We stopped at State Pier to check her out up close:

Not to worry, once she was safely in her berth, we headed out, and found our beach for the day. Not quite the Soggy Dollar, but it was good for us: (Sippewisset off Cape Cod)

There's a lazy river flowing out through the beach, so we hike in with floats and then meander out along the river while the tide flows out. Life is good!
 
I've never seen the Eagle before, the rigging is amazing. Thanks for sharing those pics and you're right...Life is good!
