DOMINIC NESTA RETURNING TO PORT

Dominic Nesta and his unmistakeable fishing boat ‘Tide Skipper’ coming home Friday night, with the Fort in the background. I think the pilot house on the small book gives it a very interesting, unique look, making it always easy to identify whenever seen in the Harbor.

Foul Weather Skipper

Hi Joey,

Dominic Nesta was working during the rain storm Friday and stopped by the cove at low tide in ‘Tide Skipper’ to dig clams for bait.

Enjoy!

Dominic Nesta’s Marine Service Rig From Bill O’Connor

Hi Joey,

I ran into John Nesta and his son Dominic Tuesday afternoon at Sibley’s Boat Yard working on Dominic’s boat.  Dom got the boat from Mark Lacey this Summer and has been gearing it up to do various marine service duties.  She’s up on the rails while they install a pilot house with the help of Larry Dahlmer – artist and boatsmith. I think the pilot house will give the boat the look of an old wooden trawler on a miniature scale.  It’s going to be pretty cool when they’re done…

Keep an eye out, Dom just needs to glass the luan and 2x frame, and he’ll have the boat back in the water within the week!

Enjoy,
