Frequently asked questions
The Annisquam side dries far more slowly than the harbor side. Why?
Salt wind and shade. Lots on that side hold moisture the inner harbor sheds, so the same October rain stays in the assembly for longer. It is the drying rate that differs, not the rainfall.
The breakwater calms the harbor. Why are the cellars still wet?
The Dog Bar calms boats, not rain. October still arrives as wind up the granite. A 1946 foundation cut into ledge is a trough. Harbor chop can look polite while the cellar takes the storm from the rock. Ledge and fetch do the wetting; the inland paper cannot see the cape.
Salem is down the shore. Is this the same North Shore job?
Salem sits on a different harbor and fill. Gloucester is the granite cape. Shared 'North Shore' is a marketing line, not a hydrology. A wet cellar here is Dog Bar and ledge, and the cape line is the real change.
