Gloucester Harbor,Cape Ann MA

Gloucester MA, 6-15-13: Today was a sunny, warm day and all of New England was out and about!!  We worked our way from Windsor, Vermont, to the Gloucester/Rockport area of MA.  It was crowded, but we started by walking around the artist galleries in Rocky Neck and then on to Gloucester. Gloucester isn't the quiet little fishing village it used to be before the book and movie (1997/2000), The Perfect Storm, became popular. The boatyard in Rocky Neck is somewhat hidden away - so it was quiet and we took some photos.  There were two interesting tug boats being worked on that we really enjoyed seeing.
  Rockport was busy, but we found a parking spot and walked around with the crowds.  We bought lobster in the lobster shack that is in the middle of all the touristy shops.  (We've been buying lobster there since 1976!)  If you go out the back door of the lobster shack, you will be on the wharf where the "Motif #1" is located.
