There were a bunch of people taking sailing lessons off Niles Beach the other morning, and it was amazing to see how quickly the instructors raced to the rescue to save moored boats from being smashed into by wayward, totally out of control sailboats. It was pretty chaotic and fun to watch. No one was injured and no boats were hit, at least while I was watching.

About E.J.
Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer.
Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.
E.J. Lefavour

Great Catch EJ! Glad you found Niles beach. Great light when the sun rises above the trees there. You should borrow Joey’s new Video camera. would’ve loved to see that action in motion.
See you soon! I hope.
Hey Paul – where have you been? I really miss not seeing you around the gallery. It’s been ages. Hope everything is ok. Call or email me off blog when you can. I love Niles Beach. I try to walk there every morning that I can and swim a little, catch a few rays, and shoot whatever is going on. I checked out Joey’s new video camera – its sweet and takes great video, and its so stable even Ed would get great results.
” its sweet and takes great video, and its so stable even Ed would get great results.”
Some kind of magical camera that if you forget to turn off and stick it in your pocket the video still comes out great? I want one.
HD pocket pool.
“it was amazing to see how quickly the instructors raced to the rescue to save moored boats from being smashed into by wayward, totally out of control sailboats. ”
Reminds me of one of my sister’s stories of teaching a nephew to ride a bike. A Tuesday church lot, 900 space parking lot empty except for one car. Dan circled the lot without the training wheels but like a moth to a flame took direct aim and smacked the car head on.
Dan: “I want that car moved.”
Ok, well maybe it’s not that stable and magical. I’m afraid Ed would have to shut off the video before putting the camera in his pocket, or dropping it on the ground. I’m still laughing over the story about your nephew and the car – sounds like a great America’s Funniest Home Video clip, if it had been captured on video.
Timing is everything…cool sequence of shots and story.
