It's a Hull of a day for our Harboring series! |
Hull, home to Nantasket Beach and the former Paragon Park, juts out into the sea. It's very much like Duxbury, geologically or whatever term I should use there. |
"Nantasket" means either "low tide place" or "at the strait" in Native American. The "Hull" part of Kingston-upon-Hull refers to the River Hull back in the jolly old E. |
Speaking of hulls, they need to get this one in the water. I was here in late July, for the love of Mary. |
Several staff members have noted that the boat only has to be red to become one of my favorites and to get a place in our article. |
This looks suspiciously like one of those Redneck Superman memes where some guy in Alabama turns a sofa into a boat. |
Other than New Bedford and, amazingly Sandwich... it's a bit strange to see a building with more than two stories turn up in our Harboring series. |
Amazingly, we found that the One Foot Of Water Dock was unoccupied. |
Chains look artsy when better photographers are sizing up the shot, but I do what I can for you people. |
That is "A Street," rather than a play on the "I'm not a fast Captain, I'm not a slow Captain, I'm a half-fast Captain" joke. |
I turned up in Hull on a raw and windy day, hence the inactivity on the docks. |
Cutest boat in the harbor. |
We're twenty articles into our Harboring series, and I still go "Ooooh, boat stuff, let's get a pic!" |
Hey! You were already in this article! |
Hull's boatyards are sheltered by Hull itself, I didn't see one boat on the ocean side of town. |
God tilted the Earth on me right when I was lining up my cute Harbormaster shack photo. |
It's odd to take a picture of a harbor and have the wind-powered thing in it not be a sailboat. |
A quick Nantasket shot... hey, we end up where we end up, folks. |
Note the Fisherman's Cooler tied to the back of the boat. |
I may be disoriented, but I think that's World's End in the background. |
If they made that boat cover go all the way to the top in a point, this boat would look like a floating DUNCE cap or a drowning KKK guy. |
The kayak rental business slows on cold, raw days. |
Hull, which may have cleaned up since my late July arrival, had the red seaweed problem that other Irish Riviera beaches had. |
The downside of having children scrawl the magazine name into the sand is that sometimes they put an extra N in "Cranberry." |
Love this!
