Downtown Gloucester Block Party

There was fun for all ages. Here one of the dance troupes performs early in the evening.

A recurring comment I heard was that the parents of the kids in the performances went home after the show and got babysitters so they could return once they saw how great the set up was.

I expect even more people next time around.

It Would help If We Untied The Boat Damon!

I laugh as Damon forgets to untie the bowline and makes zero headway rowing.

Damon Gets Us Up Close For Some Pics

After realizing he forgot to untie the bow line, Damon had us under way and around the Schooners for some up close pictures.

Bluenose II at GMHC 4:50AM 8/31/08

Very excited to see that the gates at The Heritage Center were not closed and I could get right down to the end of the pier where the Bluenose II was tied up for these shots.  Creak creak creak go the boards in the early morning as you step across with no one else around.
