Hi Joey,
We were going out on the Lannon again this afternoon to see ships underway towards Boston– but the ships decided to stay in port another day.
Just got a heads up from Kay w/ the Lannon that the Picton Castle may leave Gloucester under sail tomorrow morning between 6:30 and 7A.
The Europa sneaked in to the state pier after the Tecla came in last night.
One ship just left the harbor to go to Boston- not sure which, but we’re going down to check it out.
It’s all good!

Chickity Check It! CACC Auction Online

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

As a member of the Board of Directors for the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce I wish I had more time to do more, but through GMG I hope to help in the best way possible and that is by highlighting some of the cooler items on the online Cape Ann Chamber Of Commerce Auction.  There are some incredible deals to be had by visiting the online auction and the night of the live auction is always a blast.  You can really score some cool things for often times fifty cents on the dollar.

I bought a stainless steel grill  for a couple hundy at last years auction.

The item I’d like to feature today is none other than a permanent link and feature about your business or website in the sidebar of these pages (GoodMorningGloucester)-  HUGE!

You can bid right now or check out how the bidding is going on this by clicking this link

Whoa! Everyone got it right! Paul, humble as he is :),identified it first. Are you accepting the prize, Paul??

Here’s what people said-

capeannpainter:”Rockport Harbor either that or Lanes Cove. ;]”

Robert Blazewicz: “Location: Rockport, boat launch off of Mt Pleasent St, between T Wharf and Bearskin Neck looking toward Bearskin Neck and one of my grandparent’s Rockport residences, the squat one.” (Hey, this must be Jessica’s dad!)

capeannpainter: “I know where it is but I Ain’t saying.
It’s not Lane’s Cove. And it’s not in Gloucester.
Sharon will yell at me for winning another prize.”

Jade: “Is this in the little cove off of Bearskin Neck?”

Kelly Howard:”Hi! I know the location of “Where’s Zat” #30.
It is Rockport Harbor, along Bearskin Neck.”

Hedgie:”Dock Square Boat Ramp in Rockport looking toward Bearskin Neck.
Recognized Sharon watching the parade near Dock Square as we were marching by. Thanks for supporting Rockport!”

Dana:”That looks like a view from Rockport boat ramp at Dock Square looking toward Bearskin Neck”

Well that was fun! See you next week! —Sharon

Hi Everyone,

I’m going to give this another try at a new location.  Metamorphosis was kind to let me try it and it is a great spot and Jen Amero offers terrific programs.  I simply need a larger space so Nadine’s has offered the location which is very spacious with mirrors for teaching, great!

This is a free class tomorrow night Tuesday July 7th, 6:30.  Please see attached flyer. Please bring hand weights of about 1-4 pounds whatever you prefer.  Spread the word to friends.

If it works out we will do a class every Tuesday night until the end of summer and it will be a punch card system for eight weeks.  Price and details given tomorrow at  the free class.

Hope to see you there.  You can wear sneakers and work out clothing.

NO DANCE EXPERIENCE NEEDED
