The fast ferry (90 minutes each way @$94 round trip) really flies in a dual hulled boat. I went there by fast ferry a few years ago. When fully employed I used to drive there to watch whales (many finback) migrate out and over George's bank fishing grounds. https://www.bostonharborcruises.com/provincetown-ferry#schedule-and-rates Here is a video from a whale watch and from a walk to the tip of Provincetown. Finback whales !!!, Seals, Piping Plovers Map of Provincetown to Boston ferry route and car route. Timeframe is about 2005. Distance is about 60 miles not 92.8.

At 2 am it is really quiet along the otherwise often used bike path. B&W looked better than the color with phone flash. I was relieved that I actually saw one meteor in my 180 shots taken over an hour. The site is a cleaned up 'lead mills' site along the harbor. "Reversing the environmental harm caused by past contamination is a challenge. Lead Mills, which is located along Lafayette Street (Route 114) at the Marblehead/Salem border, was an industrial site in the 18th and 19th century."

Bob Eisenman Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 @meepmeepmayerSo....the quest for a meteor shot comes in part from ownership of the Photo Pills app which sent a email about the Perseid's Requesting the info from Photo Pills gave Making a plan with Photo Pills gives information on #meteors per hour, where to look in augmented reality and what your cameras field of view is at the choose location. The rest is showing up at a place where 2am loitering isn't an issue and pointing the camera at Perseus Photo Pills says..."shoot all night if you can" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post travsformation Posted August 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Did none of the other mods get the memo of the moderator meet-up in Rosenheim?

I reached out to @meepmeepmayer to ask about riding my EUC in Germany, not realizing at the time that he lives in Rosenheim (location not shown under users' name on mobile devices) and I was only 30 km from there...

On the other hand looks like you had an awesome time. I just had to settle with the company of my V11, but then again I don't mind that at all.
