Wild Weather & Hauling Out!

 It's that time of year when nor'easters hit and time to haul hull. We had two nor'easters this week which brought 80 mph gusts and rain. All of Rockport, Essex and Manchester-By-the Sea lost power and a good chunk of Gloucester did too. Luckily my house never lost power. I managed to get out for the brunt of the first nor'easter and get some shots. Then on Halloween I hauled the boat out for the season, a 68 degree day!

Fall Sunrise and Sunset!

 Being under the weather(no not covid) I had little chance to get out and shoot but managed these. I  also added a couple of old shots from 2009 that I came across in my files.

I didn't have the time to shoot as much as I wanted this past week but here is what I did get.

I've been seeing this 3 legged coyote the last few years and finally got close enough for a few shots, camera shots that is.

I call him "Three Pete"
