Straightsmouth Island
Today, we have radar, charts, GPS, radios and lights. Just looking at this island in the light fog makes me wonder what it was like sailing in wooden ships at night. There are islands, rocks and shoals. Thankfully, wrecks are very rare these days.

Euh, it's kind of foggy Steve ;-)
Funny atmosphere you got there! I guess we all wait for the sun to come now!
This reminds me of the Isles of Shoals which is about 10 miles out of Portsmouth, N.H. Great shot in the fog. I love the fog at this time of year.
I love when I haven't visited your blog in a few days, I get treated to so many great photos! Those cormorant eyes are amazing, and snow buntings! Wish I could have seen them! I miss Good Harbor at dawn, ever since the rug rat was born we don't get out for many Bass Rocks dawn surfing sessions....your photo will have to do for now :) glad you had fun in the fog! -kate
They used a sextant at night. ;)
Great picture as always.
I love that picture in the fog. I just stumbled upon this blog and I must say it's a great picture. Looks so calm and eerie.
nicely captured! Fog pictures create mystery!
A very chancy business in those days I should think Steve.
Steve I did an interview with Judy Caulkette at The Chamber of Commerce about The Cape Ann Winter Birding Weekend in which many of your followers may be interested-

Maybe you could help get the word out.
Also told people to come find your blog if tehy hadn't already. :)
Just think of the responsibility of being the 'topmast' lookout searching for the light!
Catching up (again) - always enjoy your pics, but your Purple is just stunning!
At least the lighthouses in the area are doing their job correctly for those guys at sea, but I should imagine there are a few wrecks out there.
