Kayaking around Gloucester Harbor on Sunday
What a beautiful day Sunday was. Rick and I went kayaking around Gloucester Harbor and had our lunch on Ten Pound Island, we visited Joey on the dock, Wicked Tuna being filmed and paddle through the west wind and choppy ocean. It was fantastic. Also we saw the barge that took down the Magnolia Pier.
Again we are so lucky.

Progress on Magnolia Pier
The Magnolia Pier has come down. The workers have been very nice and keeping the area clean. Looks very weird not seeing the pier there. Looks like it has been photo shopped.
The next stage will be the rebuilding and looking forward to having our Pier back.

Crane waiting for the barge
The Crane at Magnolia Pier is taking down the pilings closest to shore. The delay of the barge was due to some of the moorings having to move so the barge could come in and remove the rest of the pier. It is coming along.

A visit to the Essex Shipbuilding Yard
When I was over there last week the with the wonderful 8th graders from O’Maley I walked around. Lots of interesting things to see and learn about.

Thursday at the Essex Shipbuilding with O’Maley’s 8th graders
Being over there for the second day, I am learning as well about how to build a boat. These kids really pay attention and enjoy seeing what is built with their own hands. The rope Grommet was interesting to watch being made, the kids under the boats drilling and the sanding of the oars was educational as well as fun. The Essex Shipbuilding Museum staff, the O’Maley teachers and the kids made for a wonderful couple of days. Thank you for the invite.

O’Maley 8th graders at the Essex Shipbuilding building 2 boats
This is my 3rd year being invited to take photos over at the Essex Shipbuilding in Essex, as the O’Maley’s 8th graders make 2 boats on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The teachers, Amy Donnelly and David Brown are terrific and the kids really learn from them. The staff at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum help out so much teaching the kids how to build a boat. Love these 8th graders and their enthusiasm making something with their own hands. The photos below are from Wednesday.

Nice day on Sunday to go see the Santa Maria in Newburyport. Of course it is a replica but very impressive. The next stop is the Great Lakes.
