Please forgive the blurriness- it’s a file that runs over an hour long which needed to be compressed so it would stream for y’all.
I’m particularly fond of the opening statement which I knew nothing about til I played the file after 8 hours of compressing and uploading.

My Incredible Adventure- Hauling out the Anchor Part II
- Anchor is Aweigh – Anchor is off the sea bottom when being heaved in .
- Anchor is Foul – Anchor cable is caught around the fluke or an object is caught around the anchor .
- Anchor Watch – A member or members of the crew that keep watch and check to see whether the anchor is dragging and the the drift of the ship. This is prudent when anchored in heavy weather, or where wind direction may change dangerously.
- Anchor Windlass – A windlass is a winch-like device used to assist in the raising of the anchor.
- Anchor Chain A chain attached to the anchor. The chain acts partially as a weight to keep the anchor lying next to the ground so that it can dig in better.
- Anchor Rode A line (chain, nylon or steel cable) used to hold a vessel fast to the anchor.

Art Haven Block Party Plans
just in from Art Haven Director Dawn Gadow-
Hi all,
Although I know it’s probably too late to get in any real advertising or anything, I just wanted to let you all know that Art Haven will be having a beach day for the block party this weekend. We’ve got some beautiful big shells that kids can paint and do crafts with and make their own beach scene! There is also a possibility of making the shells into candles. So, if you could spread the word at all that would be awesome. I hope the week is going well for you all and I’m praying for sunshine on Saturday!

Blackburn Challenge on Saturday!
Info from Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce:
THE BLACKBURN CHALLENGE
The Blackburn Challenge, held on July 18 this year, is the premier human-powered open-water event on the East Coast. One of the reasons why this event has been recognized as one of the best open water races in America is due to the venue – a 20 mile circumnavigation of Cape Ann Massachusetts – a course that inevitably serves up a wide variety of conditions on the water. The first three or so miles of the race are along the protected and tidal Annisquam River, resulting in something akin to a head race, but with plenty more interesting obstacles to avoid (mooring and navigation buoys, boats, docks, etc.) and a 17 mile open water race after it. Once the river empties into the open waters of Ipswich Bay, the wind strength and direction play a decisive role in determining the conditions of the day, which range from relative calm (it’s never a flat water event) to very rough (staying upright and afloat trump the idea of competition). The last couple of miles from the Dogbar Breakwater at the entrance of Gloucester Harbor to Pavillion Beach, are usually plagued by confused boat wakes from numerous fishing, whale watch and pleasure boats going in all directions. Each year at the Blackburn brings us a very different story, making the event so interesting for open-water aficionados. One thing that thankfully remains the same each year is the fun time after finishing – cold beer, massages, good music and food and the inevitable harrowing stories from the event. The 2009 Blackburn Challenge will be the 23rd running of the event.

Summer 2009 Places that Matter Photo Contest
 Celebrate the places that matter to YOU and be entered to win a digital camera!
The National Trust for Historic Preservation and Fireman’s Fund Insurance are proud to announce the start of the Summer 2009 Places that Matter Photo Contest. Submit photos of your favorite places — whether they’re national monuments or right in your own backyard — and be eligible to win one of three digital cameras. Entering our contest is easy! 1. Download our This Place Matters sign — or make one of your own! 2. Take your photo in front of a place that matters to you. 3. Add it to our pool of places that matter across the country! You may enter as many digital photos as you wish between now and Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Ten photos will be selected as finalists, after which a public online vote will determine the final winners. The photo with the most votes will win the grand prize of a Panasonic Lumix ZS3 digital camera! Each of two runners-up will receive a Panasonic Lumix ZS1 digital camera, and all three winners will also receive a Sandisk Extreme III 8GB SD memory card. To enter one (or more!) images, visit our This Place Matters website and use our free photo upload tool. Too often, places that matter to us can be lost in a heartbeat — sometimes even before we realize they will be missed. The best way to save a place that matters is to call attention to it and value it before it is endangered. Thank you for all you do to showcase the places that matter — inspiring others to protect, enhance and enjoy the places that matter to us all. And good luck! Sincerely, The This Place Matters Team @ the National Trust for Historic Preservation P.S. The competition is open to all photographers age 18 or older regardless of residence or citizenship, so long as the laws of their jurisdiction allow participation. Photo submissions must be uploaded by 11:59 pm Central Standard Time on Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Please read the full rules before entering. |
