Signs of Summer Part IV
Yeah:
1) Just drove onto the island and four beautiful lanes open over the Andrew Piatt.
2) Lunch at the Cupboard with a small order of onion wings. Small is plenty.
Nay:
1) The gender signs for the Rockport Information booth are not up yet.
2) Lattof Farm stand is not selling fresh Monkey Bread in the morning yet.
I want a four for four yeah!! sometime this weekend.
And just one word of warning as you have fun this three day weekend. The weather is very warm but the water is still a bit nippy. If you are going to go kayaking jump in the water first and then think about how much effort it would take to get back in your kayak and pump it out while being immersed in chilly water. You want to kayak only where you can easily figure out a way to get out of the water faster than fifteen minutes. Wear a life jacket and dress for the water, not the balmy weather. Tell someone where you are going. And have fun.
I went fishing all day off Woods Hole yesterday and I am always learning something new.
New rule: if you cut your hair short and go out on a boat all day make sure you put sunblock on the top of your ears. Ouch!

Good Morning Gloucester Cape Ann WiFi Map Updates
The GMG Free WiFi Map has been updated thanks to Chris Spittle and Katy Milne from the Cape Ann YMCA.
thanks to their heads up we added Cape Ann YMCA and Cala’s in Manchester. We also deleted the space formerly taken by The Greenery in Rockport as Chris reports they don’t have free wifi since the new ownership took over.

CBS Amazing Race 17 More Insider Scoop and Pics
For all our other CBS Amazing Race 17 Spoiler Coverage Including Video Click Here
Like yesterday clicking on this first pic will give you the super blown up version where you can pan in and the second picture when clicked on will be the same picture but able to be viewed in your browser without going outside of the screen.
I’d like to ask if could people not simply copy and paste this entire post onto message boards and instead copy the url of this blog post to share. Lots of work goes into blogging and at the very least good form is to post a sentence with a link back to a newspaper or blog post saying for the rest of the story go here- http://www dot xyz story dot com
Now for the good stuff, some more insider dish on the process of how they get the contestants to the start of the race!
From what was overheard the contestants are flown in on private chartered jet with the windows blacked out so they have no idea where they are landing. They are then ushered directly into a bus which has completely blacked out windows and they are not supposed to talk to each other at all. They got off the bus at The State Fish Pier In Gloucester which is where I started taking video and where they boarded the fishing boats. With the weather being unseasonably warm they could have easily mistaken Gloucester for a warmer climate port. You can click on this link to see all the pictures of what takes place at The State Fish Pier in Gloucester
More to come later……

Lobster vs Crab Filmed Using Manfrotto Modopocket
I just got a new portable pocket camera support made by Manfrotto. Manfrotto is the gold standard in design and what the professionals use for camera supports such as tripods. Most professional photographers and videographers have some of their equipment. I was reading a tech site which listed top ten must have gadgets for photographers and the Manfrotto Modopocket was listed and it looked like a very interesting alternative to having to carry a tripod around for those situations when you want to take a long exposure or conduct an interview without the shake and vibration which can make an interview look less than professional (not that anything I do should ever be confused with something professional).
I went to the reviews on the little piece of equipment and the people who had purchased it all wrote glowing reviews. The prices I saw listed for them in a google shopping search ranged from $20-$35. I got mine from Adorama Camera for $20 including free shipping. I got to use it a bunch yesterday and I am extremely happy with the purchase.
It folds up flat at the base of the camera and makes my Sony DSC H20 still pocketable which to me is crucial. The camera you can’t pocket is worth 20% of the camera I can always have on me to capture stuff for you guys. The construction is solid and engineering a marvel. I’m really digging it.
Check out the first video I took with it below. Click on the HD version to see the results I was able to achieve shooting inside of a lobster crate with zero clearance. The camera was sitting flush inside the back of the crate. The sound you hear during the lobster vs crab segment is the hum of our lobster tank pumps.
Here’s a link to where you can get it
Here is a bunch of pictures of different people using the Tiny Manfrotto Modopocket
