My work brought me to Cape Ann this morning and before returning home I couldn't resist getting in a paddle 'round Salem Neck. After launching at Winter Island Park, I rounded Juniper Point (at left) and Salem Willows before entering the Danvers River along with the last hour of incoming tide. An east wind was coming in off the open ocean and keeping things on the cool side. After passing under the Essex Bridge and the commuter rail bridge, I headed towards the North River near Salem Depot. This side of Salem has a more industrial look and feel. This spot looked like a commuter's worst nightmare...
There was a fair amount of trash along the sea wall by the depot.
As a result of watching the "Deadliest Catch", I've been working on my crab-catching techniques and brought this monster onboard...
The nicest boat seen today...
The artwork at the bow was worth a closer look...
Once back at Winter Island Park passengers gathered on the stony beach...
There were 20 recyclable containers (9 redeemable) and 30 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish such as nip bottles and plastic bags. YTD = 4119
