Most memorable GMG post for me as we approach 1,000,000
There are so many memorable posts over the past two years but the one that sort of sticks out was Mike Lindberg’s 2009 year in review.
I know that we churn out a ton of quality content but in Mike’s 2009 year in review it sort of took me aback with the number of interviews that he grabbed snippets of in that video and that was just a fraction of the ones that were actually conducted.
There are thousands of pictures and hundreds of videos- so many that I forget about a lot of them until I go through the archives.
I also love all the Fiesta coverage, Man vs Food Challenges, Flower box Competitions, Block Party Coverage, The GMG Tree Project…. god I could go on and on.
I love to write and wish I had more time to write more and love to do interviews because I love meeting new people and creating new friendships.
The blog has been such an incredible blessing in that it has allowed me to meet so many wonderful people and create new friendships.
The contributors starting with ever faithful and reliable Sharon. Mike Lindberg, Paulie Frontiero, Laurie Lufkin, Paul Morrison, Alicia Pensarosa, David Cox and Thom Falzorano,Donna Ardizzoni,Beth Swan, Frank Ciolino, Jo-Anne Silva and the new guy who has been just everywhere- Manuel Simoes.
We can’t forget the people who leave regular comments after posts and let us know that yes, we do have an audience and what people like and dislike.
I’ve always said that give me good friendships over money any day of the week and the richness in friendships that have been a result of the blog have made me a very rich man indeed.
Being able to bring our community together, make people aware of all the great stuff happening around us and highlighting the very best of our spot on earth has been so very rewarding for everyone involved.
Thanks for everyone who has been a part of this thing. I’d probably be locked up in a mental institution without you.
Thank you each and every one of you for your friendship.
Your Pal Joey

Well It Was A Real Shit Storm Last Night
Pulled into the driveway at the dock only to find the port-a-potty is lost at sea.
It blew off the dock sometime last night. Our lobstermen are having a ball with this one. I’ve never heard so many bad puns in my entire life.
My favorite so far- “Well boys it was a real shit storm last night” -That one was from Mark Ring.

First Sunrise for 2010 and a Polar Dip
This was my first video for the New Year. It was submitted to Joey to post in GoodMorningGloucester, but he pulled it after only one hour, because it did not meet his high standards for the blog. To meet his standards I did some editing, and it can now be viewed on GoodMorningGloucester.
This video, features:
- The first Sun rise of the New Year
- Contagious Laughter
- Wardrobe Malfunction [Edited for GMG]
- and a JFK Quote
Hope you enjoy it.

International Lobstermen Travel to Maine through MLA Lobstermen’s Exchange
From The Island Institute via Monkeyfist at the Casco Bay Boaters Blog–
Lobstermen from all over the world will travel to Maine March 4-14 through the Lobstermen’s Exchange organized by the Maine Lobstermen’s Association (MLA).
Seven lobstermen from Tasmania, West Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and the Caribbean will meet with Maine lobstermen.
It begins with a Mid-coast Regional Meeting March 4 from 3:00 to 5:00 at the Maine Fishermen’s Forum at the Samoset Resort in Rockport. Exchange participants will spend 3 days at the forum networking with Maine fishermen. Afterwards, the Lobstermen’s Exchange will hit the road-visiting wharves, local businesses, attending community dinners and hosting talks in Downeast, Midcoast and southern Maine locations. Maine families are graciously providing home-stays and organizing community events for their international lobstermen counterparts.
Maine lobstermen are encouraged to come “talk shop” with their peers from overseas and share ideas on gear, bait-usage and how to weather the recession.
A Downeast regional meeting will be held at the Ellsworth City Hall from 2:00 to 4:00 on March 9 and a Southern regional meeting will be held at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute from 2:00 to 4:00 on March 12. Lobstermen are encouraged to attend.
The Lobstermen’s Exchange will host events in Cutler on March 7-8, Jonesport on March 8, Mount Desert Island area on March 8-9, Stonington on March 9-10, Vinalhaven on March 10-11, Phippsburg on March 11-12, Long Island and Portland on March 12-14. International lobstermen will attend the Boston Seafood Show on March 14.
“During these challenging times, it’s important to share information and hear about what’s working for lobstermen in other regions,” said Patrice McCarron, Executive Director of the MLA.
Funding for this project is provided by the Maine Sea Grant, Maine Fishermen’s Forum, Island Institute, Maine Research, Education and Development Fund and in-kind support from Maine’s fishing communities and the MLA.
For more information, call 207.967.4555 or email patrice@mainelobstermen.org. Find more dates and times at www.mainelobsterme.org.
