FIRST LOOK MORNING AFTER STORM #BOMBCYCLONE #GLOUCESTER MA GOOD HARBOR BEACH, BACKSHORE, ROCKYNECK, EASTERN POINT LIGHTHOUSE
Eastern Point Lighthouse
The water has receded and left in its wake tremendous damage to a number of homes and property. In many cases, from the exterior, it appears as though the record breaking high tide never occurred, but interiors are an entirely different story. Power is being restored around the Cape and if you were one of the lucky ones, as were we, you never lost it.
Twin Lights
Things are looking up, with the sun poking out around 10:30, and folks doing their best to dig out, urgently so, with temperatures predicted to drop into the single digits overnight.
Schooner Sugar Babe appears to be AOKAY
The roads are very driveable! Thanks to incredible efforts by Mayor Sefatia, Representative Ann Margaret Ferrante, State Senator Bruce Tarr, Gloucester’s awesome DPW, policemen, firemen, emergency medical crews, and the Coast Guard for all that they did yesterday to help our community keep safe and all that they continue to do today to recover from the Bomb Cyclone of 2018.

STORM video and the morning after #GloucesterMA Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach
Thinking of those dealing with no power, evacuation and such destructive, icy flooding.

I’m following up on yesterday’s post, which was stopped midstream as we lost power. Scroll below for quick snaps and videos from my walk to Good Harbor Beach, Long Beach, and side streets.

About 2PM January 4, 2017 (high tide was several hours earlier)
Good Harbor Beach on sand looking out to Salt Island (from Good Harbor Beach Inn side of beach) Yes, the waves were rolling over the wall up to the homes but infrequently at this time. I don’t know what it was like at high tide.

Nothing Like 8 Year Olds Playing at the Garden
One of the highlights of many of Cape Ann Youth Hockey skaters’ early hockey careers is the opportunity to skate at the Boston TD Garden. Thanks to the Bruins and their own coaches, Cape Ann Youth Hockey Mites are sometimes afforded the phenomenal opportunity to play a short game in between periods of a real Boston Bruins game. The kids and their families are offered game tickets, usually meet up for dinner in the city, and then meet the Bruins staff for a debriefing of the plan of events. Part of the way into the first period the team heads to an elevator and is escorted into a locker room to get ready for their 3 Minutes of Fame.
The skaters get the VIP treatment from staff and even get to meet Blades…the Bruins’ mascot. As soon at the 1st period ends the young skaters take to the ice for a face off. All of the action is recorded by the Bruins and a couple of weeks later a video (the one below) is sent to the team’s coach.
Super special for the players to get to watch themselves skate on the Bruins ice….and for their parents too. Finn was sporting a GoPro during the short game, but the footage from the top of his head isn’t as professional as the movie the Bruins sent.

Meet Courtney from NSRY!
Meet our beautiful, talented and master yoga instructor Courtney Battistelli!She is fun loving, smart and inspiring. You will leave her classes feeling strong and relaxed. Balanced and inspired.
Hi reader! Here’s a little about me, Courtney Battistelli: I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in Wyoming in 2015. My teachers had diverse yogic lineages including Kundalini, Kripalu, Anusara, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bhakti and more. I am interested in creative expression and the power of the imagination. I love how yoga helps the practitioner align with presence and truth. Sustainable joy can be found through this alignment with our authentic selves. I am also passionate about the alchemy that occurs through experiencing and recovering from addiction and dis-ease. I love practicing the art of teaching yoga. I am constantly humbled and inspired by the students and peers I meet! One of my favorite parts of teaching yoga this month, is theme weaving 🙂

Storm Coverage From Rockport at High Tide
We took a quick drive today between 11:30-12:15 but soon realized that we shouldn’t be on the road. Strong winds whipped freezing cold salt water on us, my gear, and into my car before we decided to head for home. It was hard to fight the urge to stay out longer for “the perfect shot” but sometimes you need to know when to call it a day. Waves were crashing up and onto the circle at the end of Bearskin Neck and washing probably 4 inches of water across the street and back into the harbor on the other side. I just heard on the news that it only takes about 8-12 inches of water to carry a car away. I’m glad I wouldn’t let my husband turn around at the very end, but made him go into reverse and stay clear instead. #fighttheurgetogettheshot. We turned for home before it got too bad but saw far too many people still out on the streets. I hope they also turned for home!
Good Morning Gloucester
