Supposedly, water all over the North Atlantic is stirred up, but it definitely doesn’t mesh with the beautiful day today.

The new stop is convenient if you are going to the far east end of the Seaport, but it basically doubles the travel time from Lovejoy to Fan Pier. What was previously a 20 minute trip is now approaching 40 minutes.

I always figured that our skin doesn't actually detect absolute temperature, but heat transfer, i.e., when heat is leaving our body, we feel cold. Heat leaving our body faster, feels colder. Since water is much more dense than air, it draws out heat energy faster than air, hence it feels colder.

Woops! That's embarrassing. It gets shallow quickly in that area near the pool and Coast Guard.

You wouldn’t think a waste water treatment facility would be such a nice place to spend an afternoon.

After arriving, it’s about a one mile walk to the entrance of the park at Deer Island

That path is in a park at the very tip of Nahant. It’s a beautiful place.

One really cool thing East Boston did was add floating docks to their harborwalk. People can hang out on them, actually touch the water, even launch a kayak. I don't have any good photos, but you can see a couple of the docks in this Google Satellite view. www.google.com/maps/@42.366...

Closed for 2 summers? Oof. The pool is only open 2-3 months per year. If they close for 2 summers that will be 33-34 months of consecutive closure for the pool. That's nearly three years. If they close for only one summer, they still get 21-22 months of consecutive closure time.

There are probably details buried in here: www.mass.gov/north-washin... but the top image on that page shows the pedestrian bridge looping under the North End side of the Bill Russel Bridge.

Add a one-seat ride from North Station, and I'd never taxi or Uber to the airport every gain.

Are these yellow boxes the foundations for the future Harbor Walk under the Bill Russell bridge? If so, I’m very excited to see this work beginning. This looks very cool!

NBC Helicopter hovering above North End.

@gigi4district1.bsky.social Are there any rules about how long or how frequently news helicopters can hover above people's homes? They have been here (North End) two days in a row. As annoying as they are in the winter, it's even worse in warmer months when we try to have our windows open.
