How about Green Harbor?

Neither had I!

But this small, busy port is famous this week for having the cheapest fuel on the coast of Massachusetts!

This is a sweet harbor and beach community that no one has ever heard about! They even have a Safe Harbor (brand) marina a bit further up into the harbor.

There was no room to anchor, and no transient mooring balls. So, after taking on fuel and ice, we headed to the Plymouth-Duxbury Bay area and anchored in behind Clarks Island.

We have not paid under $5 since back in April in NY. (Only paid over $6 once! And that was by mistake. We had pulled in and fueled up as this other marina’s advertised price per gallon was very low. However, the outfit did not include tax in their advertised price… something that everyone else does. Very Shady.

(Naming names: May 22, 2022 at Safe Harbor Onset Bay, south end of Cape Cod Canal). Advertising low fuel prices that do not include tax, (to make them look lower). The customer does not find out until AFTER the fuel has been delivered. Not cool people!

Found this online:

On Christmas Eve 1906, radio operators on ships across the Atlantic were stunned to hear a man’s voice and violin music coming through their headsets.

Up until that moment, wireless communication had only ever been the familiar dots and dashes of Morse code.

But that night, inventor Reginald Fessenden conducted the world’s first public radio broadcast from his station in Brant Rock, Massachusetts. He wanted to give the lonely sailors at sea a special Christmas treat.

Instead of coded messages, they heard a phonograph recording of Handel’s “Largo.” Then, Fessenden himself picked up his violin and played “O Holy Night,” even singing the final verse. 📻🎻

He followed the music by reading from the Bible, reciting the story of the birth of Christ from the Gospel of Luke. 🙏

Imagine the shock and wonder of those men, hearing music and a human voice travel through the air for the very first time. They were witnessing the birth of a new era.

Fessenden concluded his broadcast by wishing all who were listening a “Merry Christmas.” He would broadcast a similar program again on New Year’s Eve.

This single event proved that audio could be transmitted wirelessly and laid the groundwork for the AM radio that would change communication, news, and entertainment forever.
