A Visit To Thacher Island

Cape Ann Light Station Thacher Island is a National Historic Landmark and I highly recommend a visit. Tickets for launch reservations are available on their website (click here for info) and it’s a very pleasant way to spend a few hours on a nice day. Jim had never been out there and it had been a while for me, so off we went a few days ago. It’s run entirely by volunteers who couldn’t have been more pleasant, even after we delayed departure due to our lack of attention to details like the launch location (now Rockport Granite Pier). I recommend wearing boots or sturdy footwear as the paths are a little uneven, but mostly due to bird poop. Jim climbed the 156 steps to the top of North Tower and wanted a photo as proof, so here you go.
