The Harbor Walk was beautiful this chilly dawn after the first significant snowfall, with a deceptively warm-appearing orange sherbet sunrise. Despite frozen fingers and toes, I couldn’t help but feel blessed by the beauty that surrounds.

The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
This week, even as we mourn the loss of the captain and crew of the scalloper Foxy Lady II, we focus on the sea’s bounty.

Hey Joey, here’s a shot of your– one of a kind– prototype "Fake"-Flops. Happy you liked them.
Maybe you could find a manufacturer. I’m surely not going to make anymore!
Glad I made the party, thanks.

This week we visited Steve Connolly Seafoods and photographed the line. Fish fresh off the boats were cleaned, cut and packed.

BTW right now Amazon has a great deal on memory cards. For a 32GB Class 10 SD Card for only $19.99.
Considering Apple charges you an extra hundred dollars for a jump up from a 16GB iPad to a 32GB iPad, that’s a great deal.
Imagine that, SD card storage is THAT cheap that you can buy two times the amount of storage that comes on a stock iPad for less than $20. Anyway if you’re buying a camera it’s always good to have a couple extra SD cards so you can leave one in your computer to edit your photos off of and rotate in your spare to the camera so when you leave the house with the camera in a hurry you don’t pound yourself in the head when you get to that birthday party because you left the memory stick in the computer. I always rotate mine and have a stick in my computer and swap it out on the spot with the memory stick that was in the camera.
Anyway here’s the deal if you want one (they’re normally $32)-

Boston Harbor Beacon Writes-
Posted on November 10, 2012 by admin
This week’s Nor’easter, packing wind gusts up to 50mph, swept a Gloucester fishing boat all the way across Massachusetts Bay. This morning, while driving down Jerusalem Road in Cohasset, I was surprised to see the boat was still there, so I took these pictures from the street (the vessel appears to be on private property, so I couldn’t get much closer). The location of this vessel is near the intersection of Jerusalem Road and Atlantic Ave. Evidently, the boat broke from its mooring in Gloucester’s Magnolia Harbor, which is just over 22 miles away!

Dear Joey,
Earlier this year I found a fishing tag which I think may be yours. It reads F/V NET PROFIT 7918 JOE CIARAMITARO along the bottom. I enjoy walking along the strand line on my local beach – Perranporth in Cornwall in the UK. It is not uncommon to find flotsom from the fishing industry of the East Coast of America which travels across the Atlantic on the North Atlantic Drift.
I Googled the name yesterday & got linked to www.goodmorninggloucester.com , so I thought that it might be worth sending you a photo of the tag & a photo of Perranporth Beach, where it was found. The village is at the far end of the beach.
Hope you find this of some interest.
Yours, Chris Easton
Chris, the Joe Ciaramitaro who was a lobsterman and incredibly friendly guy on the Gloucester waterfront passed well before his time. I’m not a lobsterman, my cousin Frank and I are lobster dealers here in Gloucester MA and own a commercial dock.
After Joe passed Joe Grillo bought the Net Profit and continues to fish it today.
Here’s a post from 2009-

Joe Grillo bought the Net Profit. His old boat The Wanderer was old, tired and slow as molasses. To say that Joe is happy about the upgrade would be an understatement. Video at 8:00AM

Do you see the buoys on the old Wanderer’s antenna and the Net Profit? The same, red on top, yellow on the bottom- Joe Grillo’s buoy colors!
