From Dave Sag on the Rhumb Line’s Thursday Night Blues Party

“Got a special show for y’all this week as I drag my dearest friend, John Rankin, out of the slickery swamp of Louisiana and wring  him dry on  Fred’s font of perpetual resurrection: the Rhumb Line. Educator, performer, vocalist, citizen, weekend father, this guy can do it all, and at the same time, too. He’ll be digging deep into that good ol’  Nawlins pile of steaming R&B, and throwin’ in a coupla originals to boot. You gotta hear this.

Behind him, pushing the beat will be our old buddy, Forrest “gump” Padgett on heart attack drums, Paul  Ahlstrand on tenor twelve sax, and yers trooly on base. C’mon down and tell John how much you like my punctuation!”

Gloucester At Dawn- Harbor Cove 4:40AM 8/1/09

WhaZat? Winner! Mike Again!

This week’s winner is Mike once again. He guessed that our mystery boat was the Nantucket Lightship II on the railways in Rocky Neck in 2005 or 2006. Congratulations, Mike! You can pick up your prizes at Capt. Joe’s!

Full copyClick on the photo for more info on the Nantucket Lightship and here too.

Lightship 612 was completed in 1950 at the Coast Guard Yard and sailed for the West Coast where she served as San Francisco Lightship for 18 years and then for a short period (1969-1971) as Blunts Reef Lightship. The ship then returned to the Atlantic Coast, the only lightship to have transited the Panama Canal both ways. 612 served as Portland Lightship, 1971-1975, and then as Nantucket II. In 1983 the last lightship station, Nantucket, was discontinued and 612 had the unique distinction to become a white cutter, sent to the Caribbean to act as a fueling station for the SES (surface effect) vessels engaged in drug interdiction.. When this assignment ended, the ship returned to Boston and was decommissioned in 1985, concluding 35 years of Coast Guard service.

Sharon Finds Her Soul Mate At The Rhumb Line?

I met the Mrs at The Rhumb Line on a rainy Monday night in August back in 1997.  Could the same fate be in store for our Sharon?
