Simply Inner Views

Some of the most beautiful views of Gloucester's Harbor can be seen from Captain Solomon Jacobs Park beside the Coast Guard Station. From here you can see the old Paint Fatcory and out past the Dog Bar Breakwater.



You can also see the activity in the inner harbor.
Today, it was very quiet due to the winter weather.



Here's a closeup view of the Paint Factory.

Simply A Cruise (Part 1)

Friday evening was a perfect evening for the Thacher Island Association's Annual Lighthouse Cruise. We boarded the Hurricane II at Cape Ann Whale Watch and traveled around the Cape to the mouth of the Annisquam River and back again.

Along the way, Jeremy D'Entremont, lighthouse expert and author, educated us all about the history and lore of Cape Ann's lighthouses.

Here are a few of the images along the way. It was a beautiful night for a sail as can be seen.

Past the Paint factory.....



There's the Lannon on the other side of the island.



Here's our first lighthouse. Ten Pound Island Light. We didn't spend very much time here. Mostly a quick stop and a spin so that people on both sides of the boat could view the lighthouse.



Approaching Eastern Point Lighthouse.





The history of Eastern Point Lighthouse is quite interesting.




The cruise will continue over the next few days. More information on the lighthouses of Cape Ann and New England can be found on the Jerry D'Entremont's website.

Information on the
Thacher Island Association and their activities is also online.

Simply A Cruise (to be continued)!

Simply A Weekend!

The evening of the July Gloucester Block Party was a perfect night for a boat ride in the harbor. The seas were flat with just a little bit of wind blowing and only a few boats were out and about.









Someone decided to have an "on-the-water" Block Party! I believe we counted over 8 rafted up to the Voyager.



Simply A Weekend!
