Wicked Cold: ice floe on Annisquam, icy crystal roadside Eastern Point, vessel looks like ghost ship in thick sea smoke #GloucesterMA Feb. 4, 2023

wintry day photos: Amitie related vessel (see Pat Morss Curious Visitor post) was out all night, often eerily or completely occluded in the thick sea smoke until blue skies gained; direction of the storm wind left Eastern point roadside past Niles Beach ice blasted; alas skating on thin ice at Niles Pond tomorrow; and saw groups of frenetic robins feeding in every neighborhood. Imagine the rough condition for the crew involved with this 1905 rescue and lighthouse keepers.

  1. Catherine: Thank you for solving the ‘Atlantic Merlin’ mystery – she is working on the Lynn to UK/France fiber optic cable. That explains reports of sightings of her off Lynn and Swampscott, and the fact she is still miles off Thacher Island tonight. Pat
