The Japanese defense forces couldn't stop Godzilla.....I captured the beast!
Spied this over Route 128 on my way home from work. Dirty windshield and strong sun glare I had to darken the image and crop out the sun. That's the only edit to what's probably my worse quality image. I figured some would get a kick out of it so I posted the pic on facebook. A few shares later it's gone world wide! Who would of thunk it?

Why I created this......

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 bicycles! 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. For that reason 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!

Still waiting to get on the water!

 In the meantime I'm relegated to taking photos on shore. The boat is just about ready, new VHF antenna installed and the previous owner for some reason installed the stereo upside down! That has been corrected but I discovered the bimini top leaks! I treated it with a water proofing spray and it works, It rained Saturday and it stayed dry inside. New batteries installed and all pumps and electronics function as does the engine power tilt. I fired up the engine and she  started right away. I also have new dock lines and a back up anchor with chain and line. Now the only hang up is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Due to covid all their recreational registration offices are closed! The only way to register a boat is by mail. They say 15-18 days is the turn around time, I sent the paperwork out a week ago. Oh, and the name of the boat has been applied.

All cleaned up.
