S/V Hello Texas

Gloucester

Gloucester is a charming town with a reputation for fishing (from the movie). However, our unofficial count has the cruising/pleasure boats out numbering the fishing boats 2 to 1.

Still, fishing seems to be a thriving industry in this town.

The water front homes definately add to the character.

The lighthouse in the Perfect Storm
Richard
08/07/2009, Gloucester, MA

We anchored in Gloucester for the evening and saw the lighthouse that George Clooney sailed by in the movie 'The Perfect Storm'.

Gloucester has a lot of character, but isn't as Salty as we had assumed from the movie. And, we are thankful that there was no storm.

Although it has been a little foggy, the weather has been quite pleasant, shorts and t-shirts during the day and sweatshirts at night. Our sympathy goes to those of you back in Texas with 100+ degree weather, right now... : )

The Fog

If you are going to cruise the New England area you really need radar. Fog is very common. We were lucky not to encounter heavy fog, but we got a taste of it.
