Rubber Duck Visits Thacher Island

Adam Bolonsky wanted to take Rubber Duck on a visit to Thacher Island. His friend Mike paddled out too. The three boats on the left were the transportation:

First up, a 102 foot climb to the top of the North Tower:

While Mike and Adam relax Dare Devil Rubber Duck:

After that the Homies were in total awe of the Rubber One.

Homie1 to Homie2: “Did you see how high she bounced?!”

Rubber Duck: “I meant to do that.”

In the museum on the island you can check out the old light:

Magic Eraser in Photoshop could have helped out here:

South Tower with Rubber Duck Photo Shopped out:

In that last shot you can see the clearing on the right which is used for camping. Five bucks a night is the best deal on Cape Ann if you like the sound of two hundred seagulls as an alarm clock.  Camping is July 1 to September 10 . Call ahead.

One last shot. This is from the North Tower looking down at the north end of the island. After Adam caught a 30 inch bluefish which he then calmly placed between his legs in his kayak he then preceded to paddle through these rocks. Yes, in between the surge and those nasty rocks. Rubber Duck may be a dare devil but she insisted I take the longer route around.

Small World

The calm before all the reporting of the Block Party etc. I got a photo by email from a friend in Woods Hole of the Striper he caught before he went back to work. 32 lbs, 4 oz. A monster. When I got the email I went over to Maritime Traffic to see where his ship currently was. Since I have the New York Tug boat “Lincoln Sea” in “my ships” I could quickly see that he was coming out of Portland heading south. His northward trip turned at Thacher Island only two miles out so I emailed back to take a photo of the twin lights as he went by heading south. He’s now anchored off the Statue of Liberty but he sent me this:

Not the usual shot of the lights this time with the north light on the right. We were kayaking this morning off Straitsmouth for another view of Thacher but I couldn’t chance pulling the camera out.

Thacher Island First Visit

First visit of the year and first visit ever but certainly not the last. The short trip today right out of Loblolly Cove. Next week from Rockport then maybe a week or two do it from Pigeon Cove.
