Quiet

Not a whole heck of a lot going on down around the waterfront the past few weeks. Looks as though the new Old North Wharf is nearing completion. The workers are putting the finishing touches on it now. The work on the new dolphin at the Steam Ship Authority's north slip was completed last week. Work has begun on the bulkhead at the new Great Harbor Yacht Club. Children's Beach is still a mess. The ramp is still open most days but it's very tight navigating a truck and trailer down there. Private moorings are starting to go into the water and I saw Dennis Metcalf has started putting his moorings in as well. Before you know it, Summer will be here and in full swing.

A few pictures I grabbed recently.

A snow squall approaching Madaket last week-


The latest wreck to grace our once pristine waterfront-

The Dreamland Theater is almost completely demolished. The view from Easy Street-

Yes. Happened recently. The other wreck was a different scallop boat. Different owner. It has since been removed.

He must be away. I could use a workboat now. Do you know of any? Hmmmm.

How do you raise a sunken boat that is tied to the dock? What mehod is used to get the rails above the water to pump the thing out? Also-how long can a boat be sunk and apparently abandoned at the dock before someone else can just have it and fix it up?

Have somebody stand on the foredeck.

The best fix for that particular boat would be a can of gas and a book of matches.
