Sean Secures The Bait Before Heading Out
The boys didn’t seem to happy to be going out this morning. With the cold water temperatures the catches fall off dramatically. Tough to get motivated when you know you’re not going to make a whole lot of dough.

Tom Ring In The Office
Here is Tom Ring sitting across from my desk here in the office. Tom Fishes for Lou Williams aboard The Orin C but used to fish with Linda Greenlaw, the female skipper from the Perfect Storm. Tom is one of the great storytellers on the Gloucester waterfront. Every time he steps foot in the office you can be assured there will be a spectacle.

Pictures From Matteo Russo’s Patriot
Usually when I photograph a boat I only post about a third of the pictures that I take. I weed through and cull out the best shots. There were a bunch from the Patriot that were left in the folder and never got posted so there will be a few more photos from different angles in the pilot house and engine room.

Melissa K Covered In Snow 01/18/09
Moments after I took this picture the Kippen boys shoveled off the deck and headed out to go lobstering.
They got to about the Paint Factory when the engine alarm sounded. Realizing that the temperature of the engine had spiked dramatically they did the right thing and shut it down immediatly. Many times in the bitter cold cooling lines in engines freeze up and it can cause an engine to overheat. You can get a blown head gasket and many other problems. Shutting it down right away was the right course of action to prevent damage to the engine.
Kind of ironic that extreme cold creates a problem with overheating but that’s what happens when the coolant doesn’t get to circulate.

Reminder-Cape Ann Symphony Concert this Saturday
This year’s family concert features the world premiere of “Katy and the Big Snow” by local composer Robert J. Bradshaw. Commissioned by the Cape Ann Symphony to commemorate award-winning author & illustrator Virginia Lee Burton’s centennial year, the musical retelling of the children’s classic with a Cape Ann connection is destined to become a classic in its own right. This joyous performance will appeal to the young at heart of all ages.
Be sure to check out Flapping like a Haddock for more things to do on Cape Ann.
Thanks! —Sharon
