While still in the Boston area, we were treated by Virginia and Colin to a trip over to Cape Ann which so typifies what you would expect of the northeast fishing industry. We went to Gloucester and Rockport and it was beautiful.

We took a picnic lunch over to the marina where their sailboat is moored expecting to do some sailing, but the wind was pretty strong and it was cool so we scrapped the sail for more touring of Cape Ann. Here is their boat at the marina.

And while we dutifully followed the leaders on the quest for more spectactular photo opportunities, sometimes the old guys had to do some serious rock work.

But the sailing and fishing images are awesome and only available in this part of the country!
