Greg and Greg deliver the compressor from shore to Graves Light.
We’ve told you a lot of the more glamorous activity going on at the top of the tower, but there’s lots down below, too.
Lloyd and Greg unload the compressor from the boat and hoist it up to the dock at Graves Light.
At high tide this week, Boston Harbor Cruises delivered the big air compressor so Derosier Bros. Painting & Sandblasting can give the steel pilings under the deck a fresh coat of marine-grade paint.
That’s no easy task. They painters must work suspended from above at high tide, and lower down to the rocks at low tide.
Graves isn’t their first lighthouse, and it probably won’t be their last.
Boston Harbor Cruises are the folks who bring you the lighthouse cruises, ferries, water taxis, whale watches, and Codzilla.
Many thanks to Graves veterans Robbie and Larry, and Lloyd and Bob. And thanks to Greg & Greg from BHC for driving!
