Western Venture backing into Rose Marina on Rogers Street

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Was very impressed how the captain was able to back this ship into the Marina, I have a hard enough time backing into a space on Main Street.  Here is some information on this huge ship, by the late Peter Prybot, February 7, 2007 from the Gloucester Daily Times.

At an impressive 164-by-40-by-14 feet, the Western Venture is a European design combination of mid-water trawler/purse.  The vessel’s refrigerated seawater tanks can hold over a million pounds of fish at a temperature of 32 degrees. Its twin 1,500 horse power diesels give it the power to fish just about any depth, and its main trawl winches, which each hold over seven tons of 11/4-inch diameter towing wire and can lift a dead weight of 90,000 pounds apiece, can haul up big catches from the depths.

Another fashion update

Patrick Kingsley takes to the streets in men's leggings

First the skinny Jeans, Yoga Pants, Crouch Gusset pants and now there are Meggings.  Meggings are: Meggings are real, and they’re getting an increasing amount of attention because of celebrities like Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Lenny Kravitz. Proud “meggers” are all about them, though most shun meggings as an affront to masculinity. But could you pull them off? Celebrity stylist Ken Thompson shared his tips for pulling off meggings with The Australian.  Men in meggings aren’t expected to travel “below the latte belt,” and he warns that early adopters of meggings need to take them seriously.  “If  you have to wear meggings, go formal on top with a crisp white shirt that is long enough at the front to avoid stares and make sure that you’ve had a decent calf workout,” Thompson told The Australian.  There you go, folks. The rest is up to you.  And it looks like meggings are here to stay, by the way. “Meggings are not a gimmick because the guys who wear meggings aren’t doing it ironically—they genuinely believe it’s a good look,” GQ senior editor Will Welch told Yahoo!. “So it’s a real trend.”   http://www.businessinsider.com/what-shirt-to-wear-with-meggings-2012-12#ixzz2HJYhfyTI
