Cape Ann Images: International Dory Races !

Why I created this blog.

Born and raised in Gloucester,Ma fishing gets in your blood. Surrounded by the sea, kids here have a boat almost as much as kids elsewhere have bikes! As I grew older my fishing ambitions gave way to what's around me. Although I still "drop a line" every so often, my attention wanders to the majesty of the natural light that make this place so special. Never is each day the same. The subjects may be the same but the light from the sea & sky will morph the subject into a form of art. Artists have been drawn to these shores for several hundred years,they followed the light painting and sketching these surroundings. What artists capture with paint on canvas,I attempt to capture with a click.....if I'm lucky!
I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

International Dory Races !

Weather wise it was just about as perfect day you could have for the International Dory Races between rowers from Canada and USA. Keeping order were the Committee boats "Cove Dweller" and "No More" skippered by Skip Leveille along with the Gloucester Harbor Master boat. The gig "Gannet was on hand to watch and the races were well organized and fun to see.I took special interest in the main event. Dory mates Erik Dombrowski and Glenn Harrington beat their Canadian counterparts Wylie Blades(great hockey name) and Donny Mahanney. I coached Harrington during his high school football days!
