My View of Life on the Dock
Last day of January 2021 was a sunny one, cold enough for ponds and craggy coast puddles to freeze over.

Brrrrrrrrr–today’s early morning Gloucester surfers on the back shore–the water temperature is 40 degrees.
Hardy soul surfing in 40 degree waters.

Went for a walk on the Atlantic Ave path wrapping around Andrews Point and what did I spy but two surfers in wet suits standing on the granite looking at the waves.
But where is the other one? Not sure how he did it but one of them got out there. I was running up to the house to get the family to witness craziness and missed exactly how he did it. (I also got my cell phone so I could call the Rockport FD when they bashed their brains on the rocks.)
To the left is Hoop Pole Cove where the lone surfer ended up. He rode some amazing waves then somehow exited stage left. Coming up on low tide the rocks were slick black. I’m still a little surprised I wasn’t making a phone call. (Click on pick for larger.)
