First sighting of REDBIRD

Hi Joey ___

REDBIRD’s long migration from San Francisco via Portsmouth, VA is now complete.  She is now a year-round resident of Cape Ann.  This beautiful schooner had been kept in the builder’s family until Daisy Nell and Captain Stan brought her to town for the first time last Saturday.

Welcome!

Catch a ride to the Gloucester Schooner Festival on the famous schooner BRILLIANT

Al Bezanson submits-

Hi Joey ____

The upcoming Schooner Festival got some notice at Mystic Seaport last month at the WoodenBoat Show.  Here’s Capt. Nicholas Alley, schooner BRILLIANT, signing up for a return visit this year.

BRILLIANT, owned and operated by Mystic Seaport, is one of the world’s most beautiful classic boats.  Keeping her in tip top condition is no small challenge, and the Seaport depends on income from charters to defray expense.  When she visits Gloucester BRILLIANT is forgoing income more easily earned in her home port.  Right now she has six berths available for the trip to Gloucester and eight for the return.  A trip on BRILLIANT with her congenial and capable crew is a truly great experience.   Here’s a link to her website.

I got this photo of BRILLIANT heading back to Mystic after last year’s Schooner Festival.   And by the way, Capt. Alley is a previous winner of the Mayor’s Race here when he was in command of VIRGINIA.

1988: US warship shoots down Iranian airliner

An American naval warship patrolling in the Persian Gulf has shot down an Iranian passenger jet after apparently mistaking it for an F-14 fighter.All those on board the airliner – almost 300 people – are believed dead.

The plane, an Airbus A300, was making a routine flight from Bandar Abbas, in Iran, to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

The USS Vincennes had tracked the plane electronically and warned it to keep away. When it did not the ship fired two surface-to-air missiles, at least one of which hit the airliner.

Navy officials said the Vincennes’ crew believed they were firing at an Iranian F14 jet fighter, although they had not confirmed this visually

Birds of Cape Ann: How to Tell the Difference Between a Snowy Egret and a Great Egret

Great egret Gloucester ©Kim Smith 2014Great Egret

For the Chief, and anyone who wants a quick and easy reference on how to tell the difference between the Snowy and Great Egrets, both white and both often times found feeding in the marsh and tide pools together. The Great Egret is greater in size and has a bright yellow bill, with black legs and black feet. The smaller Snowy Egret has the opposite markings, with unmistakeable cadmium yellow feet and a black bill.

Snowy Egret and Great Egret

In the above photo taken this morning, the egrets were too far away for my camera’s lens to get a really clear picture however, when cropped, you can see a side-by-side comparison. The Snowy Egret, with black bill and bright yellow feet, is flying in the background and the Great Egret, with black feet and yellow bill, is perched.
