📰 News we're reading
• MRECo Welcomes Summer Interns (wanderer.com) — New summer interns are arriving to work at the Bourne Tidal Test Site in the Cape Cod Canal, helping prepare and test tidal energy systems right in your backyard. Their engineering and communications projects will support MRECo’s push to advance clean marine power, bringing research activity, partnerships, and potential economic benefits directly to Bourne and the surrounding region. 
• Two Cape Cod schooners head to Boston for Sail250. 'Surreal experience' (capecodtimes.com) — Tall ships heading to Boston for Sail250 will be too tall for the Bourne and Sagamore bridges, meaning some of the most impressive vessels will sail around Cape Cod instead of through the canal. That gives local viewers a rare chance to spot towering international ships from high points and beaches, especially near Provincetown and Race Point, before they parade into Boston Harbor.
