For those weather weary Newburyport folks or those expats who miss watching the ice flow down the Mother Merrimack, our pals at Boat Camp are running a river web cam.
For those from away, that's the Gillis (Route 1) Bridge to the left, and the piles of floats to to the right.
Just a month or two before they start hauling those floats into the river into the river and rolling out the boats, can't wait.

I hate to disagree, but I hate it when spring comes and they float all that damned white plastic in the river, screwing up the beautiful views we have during the winter.
That's ludicrous. It's fiberglass, not plastic.
Eh, we've got some nice views any time a year.
Definition from Wikipedia:
Fiberglass, (also called fibreglass and glass fibre), is material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is used as a reinforcing agent for many polymer products; the resulting composite material, properly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), is called "fiberglass" in popular usage.
It's on the Internet so it must be true.
Actually, its official name is fiberglas, with one s.
No kidding? Huh.
I didn't know that. So it's a brand name like Kleenex?
