Kevin writes-
FISHERMEN – I see pride, determination and resignation in the photographs of these men. They are the "last of the independents" in Point Pleasant, NJ. As small commercial fishermen along the East Coast vanish, those that remain persevere and struggle to survive. A centuries old way of life that is rich with tradition and pride may soon be gone, victims of what may be the irreversible consolidation of the fleets. Their culture deserves respect and admiration. Those who work in this inherently dangerous trade are to be admired.
THE FUTURE? – A ghostly view of what may be the disappearing fishing fleets.

After a Short Stay the Harvey F. Gamage Leaves Gloucester.
It was hard to get Photos of the Harvey F. Gamage Schooner from Land during it’s stay in Gloucester last week due to the location where it was tied up. I caught it as it was leaving the Inner Harbor and Headed for Portland, ME. The Schooners White Hull and everything around it Glowed in the Setting Sun. Unfortunatley the Sun hid behind some clouds before the Schooner made it to the Paint Factory. That would’ve been a great Photo.

Greasin’ the Bearing
click the picture to view full size
see that rubber disk mat that Matt Ring is fixing back into place on the deck of The Stanley Thomas?
That rubber disk mat covers the hatch which Mark just climbed down into to grease the shaft bearing. The shaft is what connects the transmission to the propeller. The easier the shaft turns the smoother the boat runs. Simple right? The sucky part is climbing down into the bilge with only about 3 feet of clearance to get to said bearing where the grease fitting resides. You can see Mark with the paper towel wiping off the sludge from down in the bilge- Good Times.
Video coming tomorrow.

His Gallery is one of the must see places on Cape Ann. Larry’s Gallery is the first one on your Right as soon as you pass the parking lot, you can’t miss it. There is a Bow of a boat sticking out of the front of his Gallery right over the sidewalk.

The Midnight Sun’s Dual Net Reels
Having Two Net Reels On The Stern of The Midnight Sun means that if they tear up the net on the bottom of the ocean by snaring it on some jagged rocks and tearing a hole right into the belly of the net, they only have to set back with the net on the other net reel and can continue fishing. In the old days if a dragger “tore up” the net on their boat with a single net they would have to head for home and mend the net.
The Midnight Sun sure is a pretty boat. She always looks majestic and the Testaverde’s keep her maintained well.
Here she is getting fuel at the State Fish Pier.
