Then Bradley Wharf. Surprise! The tide is so low that Santa said no way is he going up that rickety ladder moving on.

Santas helpers. Now here is where it gets weird. Harbormaster Scott Story is alone on the Harbormaster boat. Where did Harbormaster Rosemary Lesch go?

Look at that! Elfen pixie dust or something and she magically appears on the top of the ladder to help Santa.

Real Santa Today 3:45PM Rockport!

Posted on by paultmorrison

This is no fake Santa at the mall. Rockport gets the real red rotund one. My investigative reporting at the bar last night my elf informant revealed to me that it is the Fremantle Doctor that won the job of piloting Santa to the dock at Motif #1 today at 3:45 PM. When you see harbormasters Scott Story and Rosemary Lesch in the lead boat rounding into Rockport Harbor with blue lights flashing you will know the unloading of the horizontally challenged bearded one is just moments away.
