Folly Cove - Gloucester, MA

Dive #239: High tide 7:25am, fairly smooth to start but definitely picking up on exit, winds picking up. Nudis were out, so that made for some highly entertaining photography. The highlight was easily the lumpfish Andrea found! He was so tiny and he kept following us and kept wiggling in front of the camera for us. He was only maybe 2 inches long, but actually bigger than the one other lumpfish I've seen. Due to oddly warm water and air temps, we were able to do a nice, long dive before the waves rolled in. Happy New Year!
