Pic Of The Day #125
This entry was posted in Beach, Environment, Longshore, Pic of the Day and tagged Alan Sterling, Gloria oyster boat, Gray's Creek. Bookmark the permalink.
Paddled by Gloria today. Just as Alan left it !
Sail on, sail on, Sailor !!
Beach Boys!
good
Perfect. Just perfect.
We used to live on Gray’s creek, and our four children would watch in delight when Gloria would sail in and moor behind our home. As a parent, I knew it meant keep the kids out of the water because a storm was approaching. No need to watch the weather channel on that one. This oyster man knew wen the seas were churning up:) Fond memories!
Nice Shot!
Dan and others, What’s the history of that boat? I walk and drive by it all the time with my family. We are wondering why it’s there? Any info to share?
Thanks – Kathy
I’ve written about it a few times. Here are a few stories:
