Good Morning Gloucester

Two years gone.  But never forgotten. 
We miss you brother.
They’ll never take the memories.
Love you man.

Thanks Kim Smith for capturing this video for the us in the freezing cold even though you never even knew Rick-

Marine Forecast …
Wed: N winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt…becoming NE around 5 kt in the afternoon. Seas around 2 ft.

Wed Night: SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 1 foot or less.

Today mostly sunny cold after morning lows in single digits temps will only rise to mid to upper 20’s with north northwest winds 10-15 mph..
Wednesday night increasing clouds lows around 20-25 degrees .. Late night snows break out well after midnight .. Thursday heavy snow in the morning going over to sleet / freezing rain then rain by 11am to noontime ..highs in the upper 30’s with se winds 20-25 mph increasing to 25-35mph by late Thursday afternoon and evening .. Thursday night heavy rain early with damaging winds possible , gusting over 55mph ! Winds turn north northeast late evening rain changes back to snow .. 3-6″ total ..
Over view / LP tracks from OBX to just SE of ACK , this track will likely induce Warmer air to come from off the ocean with water temps in 30’s . How ever I’m not sold on this and think it’s possible as LP intensifies off ACK it creates “DYNAMIC COOLING” which would crash the temps with all heights above us creating a quicker transition back to snow. Something to watch for Thursday . Also watch for damaging wind potential .. More later today with special video update on impending storm .. Thank u for reading and viewing …

Iain Kerr Speaks at Launch of Vortex Project with

Paul Watson and Pharrell Williams

Ocean pollution met fashion this weekend at the launch of the Vortex Project – a collaboration between Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Bionic Yarn and Cookies for All to turn ocean debris into recyclable fashion. The New York Fashion Week event was held at the American Museum of Natural History under the blue whale with press, fashion industry professionals and celebrities gathered to learn about the first project of the collaboration — Raw for the Oceans, a line of blue jeans with partners G-Star.

Ocean Alliance CEO Iain Kerr was invited to join the lineup of speakers to talk about our work in the collection of data concerning the invisible pollutants that collect in the bodies of marine mammals and ultimately humans. He described the oceans as the blue heart and blood of this planet – the life support system, “And as any NASA astronaut knows, when life support goes down, all is lost.”
