Early Morning at the Slip

Banks Dory: Eileen & Sharon
Having strolled downed to the Maritime Center early Saturday morning to check on rowing times, I bumped into Eileen and Sharon as they were preparing to take the banks dory out for a spin. Sharon took the stern to power them through the beautifully placid inner harbor, while Eileen took bow for the finesse of avoiding buoys and wayward craft.
Early Morning at the Slip brought to mind cherished childhood days of rowing on the Mill & Annisquam Rivers with my Grandfather. Our destination was always the bill green frog painted on a rock at the river edge on Riverview. Wow….that was a treat! Everyone should try rowing at least once. You will get hooked as I have. There is a whole different perspective of Cape Ann as seen from the water!
