DISASTER AT PEBBLE BEACH #ROCKPORTMA MARCH STORM NOR’EASTER RILEY
After filming the explosive waves on Atlantic Road yesterday afternoon for various documentary projects, I headed over to Henry’s Pond to check on Mr. Swan’s whereabouts. Expecting to see and film some damage to the road that divides Henry’s Pond and Pebble Beach, which often occurs after storms, especially nor’easters, I was completely overwhelmed by the destruction found at Pebble Beach. The road is gone; the worst I have ever seen, and I couldn’t make it to the Pond because it was simply too dangerous to climb over the slippery, jiggley rocks and seaweed.

Baby Whale Losing It’s Battle To Get Back To The Sea In #RockportMA On Front Beach Photo From Jen @RockportGirl
Jen writes-
So incredibly sad today to see this small whale losing its battle to get back out to sea. The tide was relentlessly coming in with cold seas and high waves as these men jumped in to help. In the end there was nothing they could do. Never seen something like this in person. As animal lovers it was very hard to watch . RIP little whale.

Edited: I Should Have Done Some Research And Planned My Day Better To Be able To Check Out These Awesome Rockport Shops
Saturday morning and there had been a couple of shops we discovered on Instagram that we’d been dying to get to. Got into town around 9 and the Farmer’s Market was in full swing. Spoke with Lisa “That Nutty Redhead” and Sandy Farrell and a few other cool vendors and then made a great discovery in The Blue Lobster Grille which served up delicious homemade hash with poached eggs over English muffins and hollandaise for only $7.95. Tremendous discovery that was (we will be back I can assure you).
We took our time and headed down Bearskin Neck after but all the joints we wanted to check out were still closed at 10:00. They looked cool as hell though.
Sea Again Is a consignment store that often has designer handbags-
Saltwater Designs-
Folly Cove Art and Sea-
It’s on me that I didn’t realize that most of the stores wouldn’t be open by 10:00AM. Next Time I’ll Do My Research Better.
We went to Gloucester and had my eyeglasses repaired at Parrelli Optical on Railroad Ave- just dropped in, had them repaired in like two minutes and then hit up Lynzariums on East Main Street where I was able to get that awesome plant for the Big Jabroni. We were really eager to check out those shops in Rockport so we actually drove back in and did 5 loops around from 5 Corners down to Dock Square and around and couldn’t find a parking spot so we gave up and drove to Linens and Things to get some K Cups and then saw the new Amy Schumer movie Trainwreck (highly recommended). Our Rockport mission ended with some highs though in finding Blue Lobster Grill for breakfast and it’s always a nice walk down Bearskin Neck.
We will be back and can’t wait to finally get into these shops as well as some others.
