Video- Patsy Palmisano On the Wheel of the Tug Justice
Patsy Palmisano on the wheel of the tug Justice. Jogging home after transiting the Cape Cod Canal the other night in the storm. The other vessel contacted him, and he turned on the deck lights so to get this tape. Not a pleasant night.
Thanks to Anthony D’amico for sending this in.
I’m sure our pal Tugster from the sixth borough will appreciate this. check out his blog to read and see a ton of photos of Tugboats.

The Sketchbook Project: My First Entry 10/10/10
Ok, What better day than 10/10/10 to make my first entry into my Sketchbook Project. I picked my favorite place to sit and watch the waterfront work, Nature change by the minute and meditate. This is the view looking straight out from my parking space today. I may add some color to it with Gouache paint. After the Sun went down I walked around and took some photos for GMG of the area at nighttime.

Greasin The Bearing Aboard The Stanley Thomas Video
Mark Ring Climbs Down In The Bilge To Grease The Shaft Bearing
Just Like a Cat!

Greasin’ the Bearing
click the picture to view full size
see that rubber disk mat that Matt Ring is fixing back into place on the deck of The Stanley Thomas?
That rubber disk mat covers the hatch which Mark just climbed down into to grease the shaft bearing. The shaft is what connects the transmission to the propeller. The easier the shaft turns the smoother the boat runs. Simple right? The sucky part is climbing down into the bilge with only about 3 feet of clearance to get to said bearing where the grease fitting resides. You can see Mark with the paper towel wiping off the sludge from down in the bilge- Good Times.
Video coming tomorrow.

Gill Net Fisheries Event August 14th
We had the privilege to offload the Phyllis a at our dock in East Gloucester. The Arnold brothers are among the classiest men the fishing industry has ever seen.
On Saturday, August 14th from 10AM to 2PM at the Gloucester Marine Railways, Rocky Neck, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of a group of fishermen from Charleviox, Michigan bringing gill net fishing to Gloucester and the whole East Coast.
They were called "the Michigan Bears" and the man who built the fishing vessel Phyllis A. was their leader.
The Phyllis A. is the oldest fishing boat in Gloucester Harbor (1 year older then Adventure) and she fished for the Arnold Family, out of Gloucester, for 75 years before becoming a museum ship over seen by the Phyllis A. Marine Association, a non-profit organization.

The Midnight Sun’s Dual Net Reels
Having Two Net Reels On The Stern of The Midnight Sun means that if they tear up the net on the bottom of the ocean by snaring it on some jagged rocks and tearing a hole right into the belly of the net, they only have to set back with the net on the other net reel and can continue fishing. In the old days if a dragger “tore up” the net on their boat with a single net they would have to head for home and mend the net.
The Midnight Sun sure is a pretty boat. She always looks majestic and the Testaverde’s keep her maintained well.
Here she is getting fuel at the State Fish Pier.
Good Morning Gloucester
