First Day Of Summer

The calendar says it's the first day of summer. It feels and looks more like the first day of January around here. I have never seen anything like this in all the years I've lived here (44 years). If this horrible weather pattern doesn't break soon, we're in big trouble. I bundled up and ventured down to the waterfront this afternoon and grabbed a few shots.

New Dragger

A new little dragger showed up at the Town Pier recently as part of the fluke fleet. Her name is Underwing. Mark, the owner of the Drifter owns her. He just finished her off. There is no net reel or winches installed yet. She will be used as a buy boat this summer for the fluke boats that fish out of here. She's a big, heavy wide boat. I've never seen a boat as wide as her. She must be at least 20' wide. I'm guessing she's around 45' long. Here are a couple of pictures of Underwing I took tonite-

Egrets At Monomoy

There were a lot of egrets at Monomoy Beach this afternoon. They were feeding on bait that was in the shallows.

Will It Ever Get Nice Around Here?

Seems as though the weather is never going to get nice around here. This is THE worst Spring I can ever remember here. It feels Like January. Hopefully, we'll be able to salvage July and August. In any event, I bundled up and went down to the waterfront this evening to see what was going on-

Captain Ken

I caught up with Captain Ken Wiggin while I was out and about in my boat today.
If you ever want to catch some fish or just go for a cruise, call Ken at (508) 221-8278. The name of his charter company is Fishy Advice.

Here are a couple of shots of Ken in his boat from today-
