Gloucester Door Series- The Dress Code

On Hour At A Time Gang-Stage Fort Park Clean Up

From Donna Ardizzone-

Hi All:

Hope everyone had a great weekend.    Since summer is officially started I thought Stage Fort Park and beach would be a good place to start.

Note to those thinking about going.  This will be a great time to pop in and check out the renovations at The Visitor’s Center.

Joey and the Puffy Shirt

Since Pirate Days are coming to Gloucester, I really think Joey should get a Puffy Pirate Shirt for the Block Party, but he doesn’t agree.  Any suggestions as to how we get him to wear one?

Spotted Lobster

Mark Ring caught this spotted lobster yesterday.  We rarely get them. Probably 2-3 a year with this type of markings.  Less often than a blue one or albino one.  If anyone wants to come take a peek at it or photograph it I’ll leave it in the tank through the weekend.  Bring the kids down, they love this kind of stuff and I’ll even throw in a demonstration on how you can tell the difference between a male and female lobster.  You might even get to see a lobster boat get unloaded.

You can view this slide show of unusual lobsters that I’ve photographed over many years here at our dock in Gloucester Ma, by clicking this text

Video coming at 2PM

Beautiful Industry Pamet Winch

Here is one of the winches that haul the trawl doors in on the Dragger Pamet.  This winch is manufactured by Hawboldt Industries in Chester Nova Scotia, Canada.  What is interesting and makes for a great winch is the galvanized steel that holds up well to the salt water as opposed to the old metal winches which wouldn’t hold up nearly as well to the salt water conditions that these winches operate in.
