Massachusetts Pictures, October 2008


Boats on moorings off Ten Pound Island in the outer harbor of Gloucester, Massachusetts.









In front of the brown house he used to live in is this engaging statue of the artist Fitz Henry Lane, internationally known for his seascapes. The statue was created by Al Duca.









Here you can see a mixture of many elements of Gloucester, a proud fishing port which also welcomes cruisers and sailors and is home to all manner and size of boats.









Along the road between Lake Tashmoo and Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard there were definite signs that summer was ending and cooler weather was on its way...















A schooner is being refitted at the Gannon and Benjamin boatyard - the same one where we were able to get scraps for wood for burning in our fireplace. As well as doing repairs they build beautiful wooden boats here.






Richard walking along the beach by the moorings in Vineyard Haven on a cool day. Dinghies and other small boats line the beach above the high tide line.
