Stage Fort Park Cannons Area

Posted on by Pat D

The Stage Fort Park Cannons Improvement Project successfully opened up and evened out that area of the park to make it ADA accessible. I, for one, appreciate the more level and stable walkway as well as the open views and additional seating. I was late to the game in checking out the improvements which have been in place for several weeks now but took a little walk up there to check it out in case you were curious too.

Happy International Coffee Day From Eoin Vincent

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey, 

I hope all is well!

Happy International Coffee Day!

I felt it was a great time to release a very limited edition coffee and offer the GMG readers and crew a 15% discount on orders at motif-roasters.com 

use promo code GMG15

The limited edition of 15 bags of coffee is from my Moontides series, and coffee is from where it all started in Ethiopia. These heirloom beans were washed processed, and I roasted them to a medium to dark roasted coffee.

They are so good… 

More can be found on the coffee here: 

Moontides #5 Ethiopian, Kecho Anderecha Kebele

Be well and drink more coffee.

Crossing Paths. My son, Thatcher, took this photo last night while working an evening trip on the Hurricane II (Cape Ann Whale Watch). Looks like it was a beautiful evening to be on the water.

Hank and Eddy are in Residence — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

We’re pleased to announce that Hank Heron (The Great Blue) and Eddy Egret (The Great White) are back in fall residence next to our house.

Hank Heron spends his days on various branches of the same tree.
Much of the time napping. He’s not missing half of his right leg (enlarge photo).
Some days he brings a friend with him, who leaves early.
“Why are you staring at me? I’m dealing with an uncomfortable fall molt.”
He does his best to get his remaining feathers in order before heading out to hunt.
He’s a bit awkward, taking off daily around 5:00 pm, before sunset.
Out for dinner, like every evening.
Meanwhile, Eddy Egret is dancing around the rocks at low tide looking for snacks.
He’s a seasoned and efficient fisherman.
Seemingly coming up, at will, with fish that blend in with the seaweed. (enlarge)
There’s nothing like a good shake, wet dog style, after lunch.
“Now I feel much better.”
“Tell me honestly – what do you think about my feathers, compared with Hank’s?”
Time to move on with the tide coming in.
The ‘Concorde’ gains speed and altitude. “See you tomorrow.”

Tall Ship Lynx Follow Up

Posted on by Pat D

I heard this from Mike Farwell in response to my recent post about Tall Ship Lynx hauled out at the Marine Railways on Rocky Neck:

I just saw your post of the Lynx on GMG. Ironically, I was down in Nantucket a few weeks ago and snapped a photo of it out on the water. My boat is right across the way in Smith Cove, will definitely have to head down and check it out.

I have attached the photo I shot of the Lynx in action.

Photo from and by Mike Farwell. Thank you Mike!
