Granite Pier, Rockport, Massachusetts by GoPro Drone
In the mid-1800's, Rockport's Granite Pier bustled with the activity of ships being loaded with granite cut from quarries around Pigeon Hill and transported in by rail. Today the trains and industry are gone, and the pier protects a sleepy little harbor and public boat ramp.
We took our GoPro Karma drone out in July 2017 to orbit Granite Pier and its harbor, and to get a view of Sandy Bay and Rockport town. It was a blustery day, with air temperature around 68 degrees F and winds just about 20 knots, enough to produce choppy seas and some whitecaps. As we had not previously flow the Karma in such conditions, we were a little nervous how it would perform -- but it turned out the drone's stability system compensated effortlessly for wind gusts.
As the drone orbits, you will see, in order of appearance:
Granite Pier and harbor approached from Sandy Bay Ledge
Pigeon Cove
Quarry Reservoir
Back Beach and Back Harbor
Front Beach
Bear Skin Neck
The Headlands
Old Garden Beach
Straitsmouth Island
Sandy Bay (and the Granite Breakwater)

Rockport Salt water Aligator Gar! The Legend is No More! Raul Perales Rock Port 2016
The legend of The Great White Aligator Gar in Rockport Texas
By: Rocky Garcia
Wowowowowow! The Legend of the Great White Gar that illuded the Perales Fisherman Family for Decades......is No More!
Mr. Raul Perales ends the week long family annual fishing trip a.k.a. unofficial fishing challenge to an ubrupt end several days early with this Epic catch.... Trully a fishermans' Tail of Legends.... and all though this picture does the actual size of The Great White Gar No Justice.....taken by a Mrs. Perales (mother of the Perales Brothers) she states,....
If Roel was here he would have caught the bigger one....!
***(Thats an Inside Perales Joke)
And all though that might be true...I dont think Too many people out there would have actually jumped in off the safty of the dock and litterally went Texas Cowboy on that Gar!!
Raul went into that ring like the Ultimate Worrier at a WWE Main Event handicapped match....Man Vs Monster...where 2 enter but only one Actually survives.... He Strattled that Beast and wrestled it for several minutes but what probably felt like hours.....and at last after several energy draining submition moves and death grip choke holds...Raul arises from the Bloody, muddy and murky texas cost water.....Victorious with his life still in tacked and like a True The Ultimate Worrior at his last Royal Rumble....Picks up over his head of whats left of the Lifeless Great white Gar and Body Slams it for its first time ever on dry land!!!
I REPEAT....THE LEGAND OF THE GREAT WHITE GAR.....IS NO MORE!
Editors notes:
Reporter: Why did you jump in the water? He could of killed you...
Raul: Cuz he broke my rod!!! And i havent caught anything all day...!! And Live or Die, The Great White is Mine!
P.S.
And for those in dought my editorial is just another elevated Fish Story....?
Pease stay tuned.....the actual Eye witness full captioned Video in Full 1080P is being uploaded Now!!!
Dont Hate and Tag yourself Now and get the link when its done...!

Rockport Harbor, Massachusetts by GoPro Drone
It was a gorgeous summer day in Rockport (June 2017), and we decided to take our GoPro Karma drone out on the Headlands at the mouth of Rockport Harbor to enjoy the quintessential New England seaport views. We instructed the drone to orbit the No. 6 beacon at the end of the granite breakwater; and it proceeded to take in fine views of Bear Skin Neck, the Harbor, the Headlands, Old Garden Beach, Straitsmouth Island, and Sandy Bay (and across from the bay, Pigeon Cove and Granite Pier) before flying into Rockport Harbor and over the Motif #1 and Sandy Bay Yacht Club.

Dead Finback Whale in Rockport MA
This whale has been dead for more than two weeks and it is still bleeding. It was first discovered in Boston Harbor and it floated up to Rockport MA, 40 miles away.
I believe that the whale was cut like this to keep it from bloating as it decays so that it doesn't explode.
Rockport, Maine - Rockport Marine Park
While attending a Maine Media Workshop in Rockport, we had the opportunity to film some the wonderful waterfront areas around Rockport. In fact while filming these clips of the Rockport Marine Park and Harbor, I made friends with Mario Turi, one of Rockport's community leaders, and his son, Alek. Being from Lubbock, TX, the Mid-Coast was a welcome departure from the haboobs and complete lack of humidity of West Texas. Rockport was my favorite of all the water front towns we visited and the Marine Park was a pleasure to film. Sailboats are still made and restored at the ports shipyard and are floating works of art and the harbor has a rich history. I invite everyone to learn more about this beautiful community.
