Beautiful Industry
Month: August 2008
100,000!
100,000 hits to the blog since January 1. The way I have my counter set up it doesn’t count my visits as a “hit”. The response has been great and it’s been a whole lot of fun meeting new people and hearing from the new and old contributors that leave comments.
Thanks everyone, you can see we have something good going on here by the steady upward trajectory in amount of people viewing.

Linda Gugger Personalized Signs $29
Linda Gugger who sells her stuff out of the Menage Gallery paints these personalized signs and will put anything you want on your own sign for $29. If you want some artwork she adds a measly $5. That’s a great bargain.
Think about that for a personalized gift. $29 or $35 for a gift to a friend with their name on it or the name of their boat, whatever. say you had a dinner party to go to or a buddy has a 40 year birthday party, for a little bit of money you could have a cool sign made for him/her with their name on it or whatever you would like.

Gloucester To Provincetown Ferry
Here is the loading ramp which looks to be very handicapped accessible.
They say the trip is worth it for the whale watching alone. A mate described Provincetown as Bearskin Neck type destination times four. He also told me there are many activities you can do in Provincetown outside of the tourist section.

Sorry for the horribly lit photo, but to demonstrate what is going on inside, here is the horseshoe bar area at the new restaurant going in at Cruiseport Gloucester. Once the bartop is on it will take better shape.

Western Venture Net Loading
Here’s a picture left from the other day when the Western Venture was loading it’s net from the Swan Net Boom Truck.
What is interesting about it is how high it sits out of the water so that the opening in the stern of the boat is perfectly lined up with the level of the pier so the net slides right into the stern of the boat and onto it’s net reel in a straight shot. Do you see those two rectangular openings in the stern of the boat that look like garage door openings? Just inside there is where the net reels are located.
