WHAT KIND OF FISH IS THIS?
found it in a tank at the Seapocket Lab of the Gloucester Maritime Center
http://www.gloucestermaritimecenter.org/. A simple google search identified the image as a grunt, my Audubon field guide identifies it as a Porgy.
I’m gathering this information for a new body of work based on fish that I have not painted before. Some of the new paintings will be of favorite aquarium fish that I have lived with. Others will be new encounters through tidepools, my visit to the Maritime Center, the Boston Aquarium (a visit is next on my list). The artwork will exhibit up in Maine in the New Year. to see my progress subscribe to my blog:

BOSTON – U.S. Coast Guard crews assisted four fishermen aboard an 81-foot fishing boat taking on water nearly 40 miles east-southeast of Cape Ann, Mass., Monday.
Coast Guard Sector Boston heard the Gloucester, Mass., stern trawler Captain Joe issue a Mayday call on VHF-FM radio channel 16 around 8:35 a.m., and launched a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat crew from Coast Guard Station Gloucester and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and HU-25 Falcon jet crew from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod.
The helicopter crew lowered a pump to the boat to help dewater the boat.
The Motor Lifeboat crew escorted the boat back to Gloucester.
“The fishermen’s distress call came over VHF channel 16 where we were able to collect information on what was occurring,” said Chief Warrant Officer Luis Munoz, the commanding officer of Station Gloucester. “In any distress case, the most important information that we are trying to collect is the position of the incident, how many people are on board, the nature of the distress, and the description of the vessel; this was all quickly passed in the initial distress call and helped us determine the appropriate response. Gloucester is a tight-knit community and we’re proud to be a part of it.”
Tomorrow October 4th is the last day you can put a Silent bid on a Great piece of Art during the famous Sawyer Free Librarys Art Auction! But, you still can bid during the LIVE auction October 5th.
There are so many famous Cape Ann Artists works you can get for a fraction of the price than you could at a Gallery.

The Schooner Thomas E Lannon Under Sail 2010 Video
BOSTON—The Coast Guard medically evacuated a 32-year-old man from a commercial fishing vessel at about 2:45 p.m., approximately 60 miles southeast of Southwest Harbor, Maine, Saturday.
Watchstanders at U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern New England received a call at 10:27 a.m., Saturday via marine-band VHF channel 16 from the 65-foot fishing vessel Diane Lynn II, homeported in Gloucester, Mass., reporting that a man on board was suffering from severe chest pains and a reduced pulse.
A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, Mass., HU-25 Falcon jet arrived on scene at approximately 1:15 p.m. and maintained communications with the crew of Diane Lynn II. A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter rescue crew along with a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat crew from Coast Guard Station Southwest Harbor arrived on scene and hoisted the man safely.
He was taken to Bangor International Airport, Bangor, Maine, to be transported to awaiting medical personnel.
“The Captain of the Diane Lynn II was able to establish communications with the Coast Guard by radio to alert us of this critical situation,” said Lt. Nick Barrow, command center supervisor at Sector Northern New England. “The distance offshore and weather conditions made this a challenging rescue effort but fortunately we were able to evacuate the ill crewman from the vessel to receive emergency medical care.”

Do you remember when it looked like this?
TOO EASY!
I took this Video in may of 2009 of a couple of Outward Bound Sailboats trying to row against the Tide at the Blynman Bridge. They gave it a great try. Unfortunately, they had to turn back and hang out in the Harbor for a couple of hours until the Tide turned.
