Ahoy, shipmates! Season’s greetings and happy holidays! As we reflect on the past year, we are so grateful for all the support that spurred us along for a tremendous first season at the helm. We certainly had our challenges, and we still can’t read the lyrics to Big Rock Candy Mountain but overall, this year was a great success, and we are eagerly looking forward to next summer. Here at North End Shipyard, we have settled back into office time with Shary and Cocoa, and the indoor projects next to the shop stove are calling our names. We braved the elements, climbing aloft to rig our Christmas tree on the masthead, and in downtown Rockland, the local fishermen have set up the traditional lobster trap Christmas tree.
