    Association to Preserve Cape Cod Association to Preserve Cape Cod, Inc. 2011 Annual Report P.O. Box 398, 3010 Main Street Barnstable, MA 02630 Never Forgotten & Still Making a Difference Maggie Geist retired as executive director of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod in 2011. For a dozen years, Maggie steered our organization over many challenges and established her reputation as both a passionate environmentalist and a creative businesswoman. Capewind, county government reform, the Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project, the Upper Cape Water Supply Reserve on 15,000 acres of the Massachusetts Military Reservation, the No Discharge Area designation for Cape Cod Bay and, most of all, clean water were all positively impacted by her proactive style. She is still working with APCC developing a regional wastewater plan. Maggie led APCC and lives her life by the creed instilled upon her by her mom: “Leave the world a better place than you found it.” In her honor, the board of directors established the Geist Internship. The Geist Internship is intended to be a perpetual fund established to permit APCC to help train the next generation of environmental scientists, planners, engineers and creative thinkers. Each summer APCC will hire a promising college student to work on a project to help preserve Cape Cod. The fund is over one third the way toward being a self-perpetuating dedicated fund for this purpose. Member generosity, especially from current and past board members, made this possible.

What are anchoring ports ? ► Anchorage ports are temporary ports where in the ships can lower its anchor and pause their movement for purpose like STS. ► Used for ships to STS of cargo. ► Used for ships to wait for change in weather conditions or change in direction of wind. ► It usually saves the cost incurred by shipping line by saving on fee of docking at ports. ► Its usually situated away from port and may change depending upon weather conditions. ► Very beneficial for places which do not have a permanent port.

    U.S. Coast Guard at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941

    U.S. COAST GUARD UNITS IN HAWAII December 7, 1941 Coast Guard vessels in service in Hawaii were the 327-foot cutter Taney, the 190-foot buoy tender Kukui, two 125- foot patrol craft: Reliance and Tiger, two 78-foot patrol boats and several smaller craft. At the time of the attack, Taney was tied up at Pier Six in Honolulu Harbor, Reliance and the unarmed Kukui both lay at Pier Four and Tiger was on patrol along the western shore of Oahu. All were performing the normal duties for a peacetime Sunday. USCGC Taney (WPG-37); Commanding Officer: Commander Louis B. Olson, USCG. Taney was homeported in Honolulu; 327-foot Secretary Class cutter; Commissioned in 1936; Armament: two 5-inch/51; four 3-inch/ 50s and .50 caliber machine guns. The 327-foot cutter Taney began working out of Honolulu in as soon as she was commissioned. On the morning of 7 December 1941, she was tied up at pier six in Honolulu Harbor six miles away from the naval anchorage. After the first Japanese craft appeared over the island, Taney's crew went to general quarters and made preparations to get underway. While observing the attack over Pearl Harbor, Taney received no orders to move and did not participate in the initial attack by the Japanese. Just after 09:00, when the second wave of planes began their attack on the naval anchorage, Taney fired on high altitude enemy aircraft with her 3-inch guns and .50 caliber machine guns. The extreme range of the planes limited the effect of the fire and the guns were secured after twenty minutes.

This was a leisurely paddle through the inner harbor islands. It included some discussion of geological features that will be topics in an upcoming NPSN geology paddle. The launch site at the Winthrop Boat Ramp (Ferry Station) is great – a friendly harbormaster and plentiful parking steps to the put-in. Because all registered paddlers were present we launched about 15 minutes early into an overcast, wet and cool morning. Figure 1 shows the ground track for the paddle.

As we rounded Point Shirley, I was struck by the dead quiet. There were very few planes taking off from Logan Airport, and what a joy! I remember earlier paddles here cursing the continuous roar of jets, one after another, and wondering where the heck everyone was flying to when paradise existed just below them. Well, COVID is not worth it in exchange; but the peace that descended on this little corner of Boston Harbor was wonderful. Over the airport we saw a spectacular view of Boston framed by a clouded sky.

Hearings. The Board has held one hundred and sixty-six formal ses- sions during the year, at which one hundred and eighty-three hearings were given. One hundred and twenty-one petitions were received for licenses to build and maintain structures, and for privileges in tide waters, great ponds and the Con- necticut River ; of these, one hundred and fifteen were granted, four withdrawn and two denied. On June 5, 1896, a hearing was given at Buzzards Bay on the petition of the town of Wareham that the boundary line on tide water between the towns of Wareham and Bourne at the highway bridge across Cohasset Narrows, as defined by the Board under chapter 196 of the Acts of 1881, be marked on said bridge.
