Channel Marker on Wingaersheek Beach has not moved
I took a walk on Wingaersheek Beach yesterday, looking for the Channel Marker that had washed ashore during a storm. See (Ed Sawicki March 26 2010, entry in GMG ).
I did not realize how big this thing is. Michael Densmore, a professional welder, was also there taking measurements. He is trying to bid on the contract with the Coast Guard, to cut it up so it can be removed. As I took photos I thought how great this would look at the new area on Rogers Street. I also found out that Mike was the welder that had worked on the majority of the channel markers we see around the city.
I hope I get the opportunity to watch them cut this thing up and haul it away.
Even on a cold drizzle day you can find something interesting in Gloucester.

Silver King Lodge (Costa Rica)
I had the opportunity to visit and take photographs of the guests and their catches.
Silver King Lodge in Costa Rica, is owned by Larry Costa, and Operated by Roseanne (Ercolani) Cody from Gloucester.
It is located on the mouth of the Rio Colorado, minutes away form the best Tarpon fishing . Each day I would go out in a photo boat with an experience guide, and rush to each catch, and capture the event. At then end of stay the guests received a CD with their photos. Each night I would set up my computer, and run a slide show of the catches of the day, in the bar. |What an experience!
