As we reached the twin lighthouses I couldn't help but notice the huge pole sticking up out of the water. Apparently this is to forewarn boaters of the impending doom underneath. Looking at the fancy GPS Garmin Roy had on his boat I was amazed there was only 7 feet of water beneath us! And though it looks like we are fairly close to shore, we're not. Believe me it's an illusion.
I tried to find more information about the pole ... when it was set, if it has a certain name, how it was set, yada, yada, ... but I didnt' have any luck. If any of you Gloucesterites would care to enlighten me that would be wonderful!

As we came in around the breakwater/jetti the water became so still. My daughter had been quite nervous before when we were further out to sea so this helped her to feel better. And it quelled the sea sickness I was starting to feel.

And on a different subject ... my husband bought me the most recent Victoria Magazine for my Birthday at the beginning of the month. What he didn't realize was that I already had the issue on my nightstand, so I've decide to give it to one of my readers. If you're intested in being in the drawing please put a V for Victoria at the bottom of your comment. And if you could please be within the continental US it would be appreciated. Sunday I'll put all the #'s into one of the random number gizmo's, or something like that, and let you know who won. Good luck and as always, thank you for stopping by!
*It's currently Sunday morning so I will no longer be accepting names for the drawing of the Victoria magazine. Thanks to those who participated!
