Foggy Friday morning

The fog on Friday morning was impressive.  When it is this foggy, notice the briny smell is wonderful.  Grateful to live here.

Bocce

Bocce. These bocce courts were such a wonderful addition to our beautiful boulevard. My father built a bocce ball court in his yard years ago. When these courts were first built we would meet my dad down there every so often to play. It made me smile to watch these guys enjoying the courts last night.

Opsrey Nest Update!

Many of you are aware there’s an osprey nest in the marsh behind Lobsta Land that has live-cam coverage (link here). I check on the famous osprey pair Annie and Squam regularly and appreciate that the Essex Greenbelt has this available to the public. I further appreciate Dave Rimmer’s blog updates. Thanks to Dave and the live coverage, I can report that Annie and Squam are tending to 3 eggs which are expected to hatch around June 8-10. There have been reports of a second male hanging around which is not welcome company but I haven’t observed that yet.

I did get to catch what was likely the “changing of the guard” yesterday afternoon with one adult sitting on the nest as the other fed a short distance away. The sitting adult left briefly but before too long, the feeding adult brought food to the second adult and a feast was had. I got a quick look at the eggs which maybe you can see here in the screenshots taken from the Essex Greenbelt camera.

Ladies and gentleman please welcome Dave Jewell’s new lobster and charter boat the Lady J II

@ladyj.charters. She’s beefy and quick! Dave is an incredible machinist so we’re looking forward to seeing the finishing touches he puts on her. She already looks pretty slick in my eyes. Nice clean lines. Lots of deck space. Really happy for Dave and Zach. He deserves to be comfortable in his old age 😆. Go get ‘em Dave 🦞 🐟
