Some mornings are worth getting up early for…

Sunrise yesterday was looking to be very blah…the clouds were behind us and there wasn’t much color on the horizon.   My friend Helen and I decided to hang out a few more minutes to see if the clouds would make it overhead in time for the sun to rise Just about when the sun hit the horizon the clouds were in good position and the skies burst into a flash of color and just as quickly it was gone.   Glad we waited!dscf5567-edit

DRAGGER SHIPWRECK OFF NILES BEACH GLOUCESTER

We hope the old FV Blue Ocean is salvageable after breaking mooring in the gale force winds late last night. The Blue Ocean is a wooden converted Eastern rig side dragger. The ship was built in 1952 and is owned by Michael Ragusa of Gloucester. Beach clean-up is well underway and as reported in the Gloucester Times, the boat does not pose an environmental threat because there was no fuel or oil on board. Photos from this morning at high tide and then again at low tide this afternoon. gloucester-shipwreck-fv-blue-ocean-1-copyright-kim-smithgloucester-shipwreck-fv-blue-ocean-6-copyright-kim-smith

low tide update: beached fishing vessel @Niles Eastern Point #GloucesterMA

On a crisp and clear fall day the visibility is back to the Boston skyline. Note the beach stroller on the lower right to help with scale. My sons asked what happens to it now (and what happened to it)?
