Last week, after dropping Jeanine off at the airport, I stopped in the Seaport District to do a little shopping at the Helly Hansen store. Looking ahead to our trip to Antarctica, we will need some offshore sailing gear to protect us during Zodiac shore excursions, and Helly Hansen has a great reputation for such outerwear. Although I did not find what I was looking for, I decided to spend some time walking around the area, which has become quite the Boston hotspot. As I was walking along Fan Pier, I noticed a massive jellyfish in the water (~30 inches in diameter). It was hovering a few feet below the surface, making it difficult to bring it into focus, and there was a lot of debris in the water, which I removed with some PhotoShop magic. In the end, it is not a particularly good photo, but it is my first of a live jellyfish in the wild.
