Stuart’s Short Trousers Lobster Tale

Lobster Season

In a small fishing village, a Newfoundlander was walking up the wharf carrying two at-least-three-pound live lobsters, one in each hand.

It was three weeks after the season closed!

Whom should he meet at the end of the wharf …….

Windmill Pad At The Blue Sky Farm

All the time that I’ve knwn about the windmill that was going in at the Blue Sky Farm I thought it would be generating electricity.

It’s actually for water. Under the big manhole there is a well.

Ernestina Heads Out To Make “Official” Return

Like how the Paint Factory is framed by the Flag and the Ernestina?

I headed down early yesterday morning to get some footage of The Ernestina while in port. Thanks to Damon I got the heads up that she was in. I didn’t understand the crew’s reluctance to let me aboard until later when I found out that she supposed to make a “Grand” entrance with escorts and all later that morning.
Here the skipper readies her to leave the harbor so they could make a formal entrance an hour or so later.

In the Harbor yesterday-

Menage Gallery Striper Placement Poll

There are so many places we would like to hang the wood striper we picked up at Menage Gallery in beautiful Downtown Gloucester.

Where would you place it?

Over the kitchen sink?

Or over the entrance to the dining room?
