Beat the clock | adding sand to shore up Long Beach and seawall
The next phase of coastal storm repairs continue on Long Beach. This past week crews began adding sand, “beach nourishment”, atop the rip rap. The staging is on the Gloucester end while the first deposits are far off by the pedestrian bridge to Cape Hedge. The ocean hits the seawall a couple of hours before high tide so the work moves at a fast clip.
I overheard someone ask, “Why not wait till spring?” Sand moves and winter storms shift the terrain mightily. They explained that it’s intentional and this sand will come back.

Seems a sisyphean task at two hours before high tide. (below about half hour before)
Essex ClamFest
We stopped by Essex ClamFest on Saturday after a hockey game at Pingree School in Hamilton. We missed the chowder competition, but the boys enjoyed lunch from Ipswich Clambake and an ice cream from Down River while we enjoyed two beers from Ipswich Ale. It was a beautiful afternoon and I’m glad they got so lucky with the weather!
Pet of the Week- Brewster

Hello! My name is Brewster. I am a lucky guy who was found all the way in Puerto Rico and rescued with several other lucky kitties and moved up this way thanks to Wags 2 Riches Rescue. I am now looking for my shot at finding a forever home! I would do best in a home with another friendly confident cat, I enjoy the company of another feline companion and hopefully they will help to teach me the ropes of what life is like indoor living. I much prefer the quiet side to take things at my own pace, I would do great in a low traffic home with older children that can respect my space. I love tasty treats especially tuna & playing the day away chasing wand toys.If you are looking for a laid back guy stop by and meet me today!
To learn more about us or other animals waiting for homes, please come visit our shelter at 4 Paws Lane in Gloucester or check us out online at www.capeannanimalaid.org.

Thanks to all my friends that share my Waterfront Images reception post. I appreciate it.

You know, it’s funny how there are people that ask you a ton of times for help with publicity and you help them out with a smile. Then you have your own event…
And you see who your friends are. You see the people that get that it’s a two way street. And you make sure you take care of those people in the future.
Thanks to my good friends. ❤️
