The other day I had a "Roving Event" which took me to Newburyport to observe the unloading of the fishing vessel "Early Times". Once the fish are unloaded it was back on the road to Gloucester for the weigh-out at a local fish processor. The captain was telling me when he started fishing, 22 commercial fishing boats worked out of Newburyport....now only three! The only fishing infrastructure remaining there is an electric winch & boom. That winch is slow, especially at low tide. Half way through the unloading the skies opened up and I was soaked! At least the rain didn't follow me back to Gloucester!
