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!

Finally Launched!

 It was a chore, first the Mass registration requirements include a pencil rubbing of the hull I.D. plate. The problem with that is the depth of the numbers & letters. After many attempts I added a photo and they finally accepted it. Next as I towed the trailer a few feet I heard a loud rush of air and loud whistling. Thinking I punctured a trailer tire on a piece of jagged asphalt I found a tire flat. I tried using the compressor to fill it up and nothing. Took the tire off then added air and it filled up? I sprayed with soapy water and the tire was fine. But I learned the valve stem was the culprit. Got that fixed and launched on Wednesday.

Ready to launch.
