My View of Life on the Dock
It’s January 1. You’ve eaten and drunk way too much. Time to pay the piper and make a resolution regarding your fitness and health. But you might not be in peak condition or may have injuries or just plain haven’t exercised in a while. What’s a person to do?
If you are looking for an gateway exercise program, perhaps Nia is for you.
Most folks aren’t familiar with Nia. It is a no-impact, adjustable, safe way to get fit. Safe moves to great music. Based in therapeutic movement, Nia draws from the likes of tai chi, yoga, taekwando, Alexander Technique, Modern and Jazz. All movements can be adapted to your physical level. You can even do it in a chair or you can really ramp it up and get a great, safe. fun workout. Here is a link showing founder, Debbie Rosas with her latest routine, Wild!

We saw a sweet Snowy Owl on the dunes. The Snowy was far away and the sun was going down but did get a photo. She looked so pretty sitting there. There was also a pretty woodpecker doing what they do.

Great job plungers and pit crews. The nice weather brought out a crowd and I hope the Open Door benefited from that! Well done all!









Another fun Polar Plunge for the Open Door. Fun times, great plungers, and nice weather today.

Last Saturday’s party was great fun…great party..fun …food ..and people!!
Happy New Year 2019!


Fifty degrees and big waves at Long Beach this morning
Heading home on the Annisquam on the last Sunday of 2018. What a way to savor every last moment of the year. Thanks to Paul Horovitz for another beautiful photo and always being our eye on the Annisquam.

Starting 2019 with some classic views at the Marine Railways seems like a good idea. Welcome 2019.




The last morning of 2018 began with a gorgeously hued sunrise, and then, as so often happens on the wild and wonderful shores of Cape Ann, there were several chance and up close encounters with our local creatures. Nearly everyday I am reminded of the astonishing beauty that surrounds, from my East Gloucester neighborhood, to the natural habitats all around Cape Ann and Massachusetts. What a magnificent Planet we share!


Buffy gold juvenile Harbor Seal in the golden light of sunrise -an amazingly relaxed, young Harbor Seal was close to shore this morning, sleeping, stretching, yawning, and scratching. More photos tomorrow when I have time to sort through all.
And a duo of American Wigeons (both male) were foraging on the sea lettuce floating around the rocky coast. More about them, too. 🙂 Notice their electric green eye patches and baby blue bills.
Great things will be going on in 2019. Hopefully everyone enjoys a healthy and happy New Year.
Thank you for all your comments and support
