We checked something else off our bucket list this week when we took a ride out to Straitsmouth Island with the Thacher Island Association. This is a short excursion from the Rockport Granite Pier out to the island. After a brief introduction from the docents on duty (thank you Karen, Kate and Caroline!), visitors are invited to tour the island and lighthouse. *Don’t wander far off the trail thought, as there is posison ivy as demonstrated by Kate* In contrast to Thacher Island, both the island and the lighthouse are much smaller but there is no loss in the enjoyment we took from the surroundings and environment. I highly recommend this for yourselves if you’ve never been and especially for visitors that might especially enjoy lighthouses. Tickets book up fast though so don’t wait too long.
Good Morning Gloucester
