Beachfront at Cape Ann Motor Inn

Posted on by Nichole S.

You absolutely cannot beat the beachfront location of the Cape Ann Motor Inn at the end of Long Beach. Each room directly faces the ocean and the long expanse of beach….as well as Thacher Island and its twin lights. Hotel guests are treated to their private section of beach and the convenience of being able to run back into your room (several with efficiency kitchens) makes for a perfect day! We just treated ourselves to a two-night stay-cation along with several other friends and their families. It was a wonderful way to kick off summer together! Check out Cape Ann Motor Inn here.

Osprey Chicks Have Hatched at LobstaLand Nest

Posted on by Pat D

These screenshots from the osprey-cam hosted by Essex Greenbelt show 2 hungry osprey chicks being fed by one parent as the other looks on from a short distance. It is reported that 2 of the 3 eggs hatched and it’s not likely the third one is viable. If you are feeling a little less than motivated during this heat wave, take some time to watch this entertaining webcam out in the marsh behind LobstaLand.

What’s going on out there? — pat morss

It started today at 3:30 AM when we were woken up by a loud crunching sound, followed shortly by someone yelling “Call the Coast Guard,” which we did.

At 7:00 AM American Cruise Line’s American Constitution came into Gloucester for at least the fourth time this season, went back out around 10 AM, and appeared to have some problem while doing 360’s, before returning to the harbor. She just headed out again toward Provincetown at 5:00 PM.

Trawler on the rocks outside our house
She eventually was able to back off, before the Coast Guard had to render assistance
American Constitution arrived early morning
She had some kind of trouble when going back out, later in the morning
She made two full revolutions after I first saw her
It appeared the crew was trying to pull something up in a net

USCG Station Gloucester was standing by, and then returned to the harbor

Many of us were treated to a stunning rainbow yesterday afternoon. Wow! So bright and beautiful as seen at Stage Fort Park. Totally worth getting wet feet and phone.
