1:00 pm arrives inner harbor, Gloucester. Boat's not leaking a drop. The harbor is very quiet, so few boats. No one moving except him, he didn't see any draggers or fishing boats, only a couple of lobstermen. It's eerie not to see marine traffic. Once inside he tied to a nice little aluminum boat, perhaps a research vessel doing inventory of the Stillwagen Marine Sanctuary. I always think of Quasimoto when I hear 'Sanctuary' that said - having just crossed Cape Cod Bay and entered the North Shore you'd expect to see someone fishing. When we fished on the Middle Bank we always had company: the Nauset, the Shirley & Roland, the 'Siver Mink',  always others there looking and hoping for fish. On one of the calmest days we've seen in months, Dave and the Richard & Arnold found themselves on Stillwagon -  this time no one had a net in the water.
