My View of Life on the Dock

Wednesday was a crazy weather day, sun out with rain, then rain no sun. When I was over near Cambridge Beach decided to take a photo of the clouds. It looks like it was raining on the left side of the photo.

After declaring that I’m not a lobster roll fan on a GMG podcast a couple of weeks ago I was feeling a little bit like I should give them another shot. I love lobster…but I haven’t been a big fan of cold lobster…with mayo.
So, I had one at the Beauport Hotel with a cup of clam chowder. It was yummy and made for a pretty picture. And, I’d be remiss to not add, the chowder was one of the best I’ve had.

Light eight briquettes in the chimney and set up the charcoal basket in the smoker using the snake method with cherry chips and mesquite chunks. The charcoal will slowly work its way around not having the entire basket of charcoal going at once will help keep the temps down. We are looking to smoke around 250 degrees.

The tuna is placed with small gaps in between so the smoke can come on up through hitting each piece of tuna. The Maverick 732 grate probe is placed and another probe for the internal temp of the tuna. We will look to bring the internal temp on the tuna to about 135 F.

A few photos from the beach on Saturday and the parade on Sunday.
If you were wondering why there were Greasy Pole Walkers seemingly everywhere Sunday afternoon, it’s because the boat to take them to the pole was a no show. The Walkers waited out the delay at Saint Peter’s Club before heading through the fair grounds to the beach. Next stop was the Greasy Pole Walker’s shrine, then to the dock. Back at the beach some Walkers decided to swim to the pole, when at long last a kindly yachtsman picked up the Walkers and gave them a lift to the pole.
