Rockport and Cape Ann Whale Watch
We'll meet in Rockport at 10 AM (location tbd) and spend some time, then head over to Gloucester around 2 PM for the whale watch.
The tour is at 2:30 and is 4 hours long. It is supposed to be one of the best. We will be site seeing around Rockport before the trip, and possibly after.
Yankee Fleet's knowledgeable naturalists narrate the tour with nuggets of whale wisdom, and on-board whale researchers are available to answer one-on-one questions. While eyes are sure to be filled with majestic sightings of mammalian sea beasts (if you don't see one, your next trip is free), the body's fellow senses won't be forgotten. Passengers may have the opportunity to listen to whale sounds, touch whale artifacts, help capture plankton, analyze water visibility, and measure how far away whales are by counting the seconds between their lightning flashes.
*PLEASE BE SURE TO GET YOUR TICKET ONLINE AND RESERVE THE 2:30 TIME*

Theresa -- I'll be driving up from Cambridge -- happy to give you a ride. But I don't think I can make the 10AM mtg time -- I will probably join the group at 2PM near the boat dock. My "off-line" e-mail address is andre.weinberger@gmail.com, for arrangements if you're interested.
