Contributing Update reporter Louise Dustrude covers the waterfront beat today…
Roger Bennett wanted a picture of a boat tied up at his Pier 1 building at the foot of Spring Street, and Greg Hertel loves messing about in boats, so the two got together Friday evening just before sunset and Roger got his picture. So did the Update.

Roger has been working for some time now to create his part of a hoped-for and dreamed-of waterfront walk from the ferry dock to the Port office. You can walk his part now: down one side of the building, across the front, and back up the other side.

Greg keeps his boat, “Bee”, a 32-foot Grand Banks, at the Spring Street Landing marina in front of the building, and from there he takes passengers on sight-seeing cruises. He bought the boat and business in October, so his first season is just getting underway. It’s not a fast boat, so he doesn’t promise whale-watching; his niche is more “kick back and relax,” he says.
