Once complete, the project will consist of four single family homes for the benefit of various groups of local people. The awarding of the homes was conducted through a lottery system with three homes benefiting local families, and the fourth home for the sole purpose of assisting teenage girls. The overall concept of the project was to empower women to become involved with not only running the homes, but in the actual building of them. Between local teens, religious organizations, local volunteers throughout the community including the contribution of local Realtors throughout Cape Cod, the project will be 75% complete and occupied within the next two months. Coming away with such a sense of accomplishment helping the woman project coordinators, Century 21 Shoreland hopes to participate in future events to benefit Habitat for Humanity at a local level on Cape Cod.

There are many reasons why I live in Provincetown on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. But, this past week was a real treat for anyone visiting Herring Cove Beach and Race Point Beach. For hours each day in the waters just offshore, dozens of right whales gathered to feed, the saltwater-slicked wedge shapes of their heads lolling above the waves while flocks of gannets dive-bombed the surface around them and an occasional humpback or finback spouted in the distance.
Every morning before coming to the office and in the afternoon between appointments, I would go to one of the beaches with my binoculars to watch the whales. The site of these whales playing in the water was unbelieveable!! There was not just one, two or three of them- one reported said planes above counted 60 of the beautiful whales!!
"It's a remarkable time. It's the greatest concentration we've seen in all the 23 years of our work ... and Provincetown is at the center of it," said Charles "Stormy" Mayo, senior scientist and director of right whale research at the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. He attributed the high density of whales to the "extremely rich food source" that is available to them right now.
On Friday a group of 16 right whales spent the afternoon at the mouth of Provincetown Harbor.
Mayo said the right whales that are in the bay right now equal about a third of the population of North Atlantic right whales left in the world.....can you imagine that?!?!?! This is one of the rarest mammals on earth!
One person counted two dozen right whales last Thursday, as well as four humpbacks and one or two finbacks kick-feeding in the same area.
Race Point is a great spot for whale-watching because there is deep water close to shore, allowing the whales to come in and flash their flukes and flippers within clear sight of the beach.
