PIPING PLOVER UPDATE – WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Pip, the day before he was killed.
You may be asking, “where are the Good Harbor Beach Piping Plovers now?” Surprisingly, they are still around! After the night the last chick was killed (tracks point to a skirmish with a dog and several people in the nesting area), two Piping Plovers were reported at Cape Hedge Beach the following evening. Rockport resident Gail, who first reported the sighting, and PiPl volunteer monitor Laurie Sawin and I, found one at Cape Hedge the next morning, and by the next day, two had returned to the roped off area at #3 boardwalk!
Everyday since, either Greenbelt’s Dave McKinnon, my husband Tom, Deborah Cramer, or myself have spotted at least one in the cordoned off #3.
Recent PiPl sightings at the Good Harbor Beach nesting area.
Our thoughts are to leave some part of the roping up as long as the Piping Plovers are still using it as a sanctuary during high tide when the beach is crowded. For a second and even more important reason, many of us would like to see part of the cordoned off area stay in place for the simple reason it is helping with dune recovery.
You may recall that during late winter we had back to back nor’easters, which had a devastating effect on Good Harbor Beach in that much of the beach’s sand was washed away. The beach dropped about ten feet, which now causes the tide to come up high to the edge of the bluff. Beach grass and beach vegetation will help prevent future washouts. Because the area around #3 has been roped of since mid-April, a fantastic patch of beach grass has begun to take hold!!! If we leave a narrow strip roped off from the public, about ten to fifteen feet wide, running the length of the beach and around the creek bend, this simple step alone will have a marked impact on the overall health of the dune habitat.
Beach plants help prevent erosion while also providing shade and shelter for tiny shorebirds.

Around the Globe from Gloucester
During a recent podcast we mentioned Jerome Rand’s recent return to Gloucester after an almost 9 month voyage during which he circumnavigated the globe. Joey wondered if there had been other such voyages with Gloucester ties. Of course, this set me off to research.
The simple answer is yes, there have been other such voyages. The most prominent I could find are Captain Irving Johnson’s voyages in the pre-war 1930s on the schooner Yankee from his home port in Gloucester. Yes, that was plural…voyages. He and his crew made seven total trips around the world, the first three on the 92 foot wooden schooner Yankee from Gloucester. Here is a link to an article you might find as interesting as I did.
As I noted, these were 18 month trips with a good size crew. I found a ship manifest at Ancestry listing some of the crew from the 1939 voyage listing actor Sterling Hayden as a member of the crew.
His wife Electa (Exy) usually accompanied him as a crew member, though I do not see her on this list. These trips are well documented if you are interested including this book available at Amazon.
Mr. Rand’s voyage, however, was a much different experience. He traveled solo on the Mighty Sparrow and without any additional technology to assist. He also traveled non-stop making the journey in about half the time of the Yankee’s trips. Wow. Kudos to all with that innate urge to sail and challenge themselves.
Good Morning Gloucester
