On Sunday late afternoon, the kayak was calling me so I had to answer. Safety always comes first when Kayaking and always wear your life jacket.

GO! Whale sightings NOW off the shores of Magnolia #GloucesterMA
David Vanderhooft writes about his whale sightings May 6 & 7, 2018
He’s counted five total today.
“The whales are around this morning; I saw the spouts around 9:00, relatively farther offshore. Yesterday they were in the vicinity all day, with one cruising between Magnolia and Kettle Island around noon, and all within view of the naked eye. Lots of people with binoculars, telescopes, cameras. As I mentioned in my post, at least one whale has a dorsal fin, which right whales apparently do not.”
Keep to shore!
“Please do remind everyone that it’s a stiff fine if one approaches them. Yesterday there were several kayakers and at least one paddle boarder who went out, and one sailboat too. The lobstermen seem to be observing the rule with care, as I haven’t seen very many.”
I look forward to seeing the Magnolia photographs and hearing more spectator reactions. What a gift this spring. Thanks so much for writing, David.

Spring day in February
As we were walking Shore Road on Thursday, noticed the fog around Kettle Island with the waves crashing against the island. The ocean was making music on Thursday as well. Lucky to live here.

Kayaking out to Kettle Island
Yesterday my friend Walt and I kayaked (into the wind) from Magnolia Beach to Kettle Island. It’s not that far, but at high tide it seems a lot farther. Once we reached the island, we climbed the rocks like kids to the top. The view was fantastic! Coming down was a challenge and leaving the island proved to be another challenge. The wind had picked up , but we paddled hard and rode the waves back to the beach. Exhilarating!

Magnolia Beach from the Island
#4 Grandkid, Kylie, convinced me to cross the weekend boat traffic in our sit-on kayaks yesterday morning. It’s always cool when you get out to the island. What a gorgeous day!
