Chris Hooks into a Crispy one last week

Cape Ann Museum spotlights a Cape Ann 'soliloquy'

Finally clean finally sun

We had one strong blow & rain over the prior few days, and it seemd like it would never clean up.
Now it's crap again.

A bad cold kept me out of the water so I can get to know the 7D.

Loads of video - first wobbly steps you'll see maybe.

Hard onshores one day then less hard offshore the next day provided waves.

Was there a raincloud over just Cape Ann this weekend? It seems like everywhere else got sun.

Above: Chucky gets lucky.

Elsewhere the sideshores here nuts, so glad I went in where I did.
Oh well the waves were fun enough - kinda breaking all over the map but who's complaining?
