Baby Dogfish
Here is a picture of a baby dogfish. When we used to handle fish, many times the big female dogfish sharks would spill four or five of these baby dogfish out of her belly when we were dumping them into the big vats used to transport the fish to the processors. They all had these amniotic sacs attached to them.
This particular dogfish was mixed in with a tote of lobsters that came in. It brought back memories of those summers when we used to fill trailer loads full of dogfish every day right through the summer and into the fall.

Richard Gaines Reports On The Block Party
Downtown Gloucester Block Party, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Main Street to close for cruise visitors
By Richard Gaines
Staff Writer
“The block party is on.
Blessed unanimously by the City Council, the dream of a handful of citizens and two merchants for a taste of Main Street as a promenade, dance floor and platform for a cafe society this week took on the urgency of opportunity.”

We are also working on having a huge sail used as a screen to show slide shows (featuring some of my pictures and I’m thinking about asking if others want to put some of their Gloucester pics in too) and live video from the event.
Much much more to come!

Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center Wharf Shack 4:55AM 7/25/08
I spent a little time on the docks yesterday morning getting what I thought at the time some great shots of the rowing gigs they have on their floats. As it turns out with the wave action of the boats going by the pics that I got on the floats didn’t come out as good as I thought. Another morning when it’s slow on the water perhaps. That way the long exposures in the dark won’t come out as blurry. There were some decent ones in the parking lot though.

We talked about planting a bunch more asap.

Lobster Claw Regeneration Pictures
Here is the lobster claw growing in place of its old one from the underside of the lobster. You can see by the size of it’s other claw it has a long way to go to catch up.

Pulling 12 Year Old Rotted Pilings At The State Fish Pier
Take a look at the pilings where they meet the water line. See how rotted they are from the worms that bore in and eat away at them. Mike Amaral pictured here tells me it is a direct result of how cleaned up the harbor has become. Interesting.

Breakfast At Stone Soup on Lobster Cove
Took my girls to Stone Soup on Lobster Cove yesterday morning. It was windy as hell but hat a beautiful spot.
They have a limited menu which didn’t include my favorite the Merry Breakfast Sandwich, but the home made corned beef hash was very very good. Pricing was a little on the high side but the location and setting more than make up for it.
The coffee was great too. My pal Toby tells me they brew RAO coffee.

Sailboat Broke Loose From It’s Mooring
This sailboat had broken loose from it’s moring in Rockport the night before last. I’m surprised it landed where it is without any visible damage. It isn’t tied to the stone pier, it just happens to look that way in this picture.
