Threatening Skies !

It was one of those...better check the radar days that has been the theme for this summer. Friday is usually a good time for me to hit the water. I'm out of work by noontime,grab lunch and head down to the boat.Less pleasure boaters and weekend warriors to contend with make calmer seas. And it doesn't matter where I look because every day in the harbor is different. It's a fluid landscape in more ways than one. Today I bumbed into waterfront buisnessman and harbor & community advocate Joe C. of Capt. Joe & Sons.Joe is also the author of the popular blog "Good Morning Gloucester"!(Check the link in my links section)And yes Joe,your pic is the obligatory Capt. Joe & Sons photo!
Another interesting sight had my mind spinning for awhile. Over the years I knew somewhere in my memory bank there was the name of a lobster boat "Chassea". For some reason I was thinking the hull was dark. But every time I would go through Smiths Cove there it was....with a white hull. Well today while I was heading back into the harbor I spot the lobster boat "Chassea" dark hull! "Wait a minute" I said to myself,didn't I see a white hull "Chassea" as I headed out of Smiths Cove today"? As it turns out there are two Chassea's!
And in closing.....About 10 minutes after I secured the boat for the day,the skies opened up with a crash of thunder and a brief shower.
