My View of Life on the Dock
John Morris came by to talk about his new book a 448 page documentation of Gloucester Fishing in the age of sail (1623-1939).
John spent 10 years of his life writing and researching this book. Look for the video soon with the author.

Here is exclusive Video Shot At my Dock This Morning Showing the CBS Amazing Race Teams Boarding Gloucester Fishing Boats- The Jennie C, No Excuses, Karen Lynn, Tuna.Com, Lady J and Lady Lane.
I accidentally call it the Great Race in the video but I know it’s called The Amazing Race.
You can see the teams dressed in different colors walking down the gangway to board the fishing boats at the State Fish Pier. Then they head out single file past the historic Paint Factory to Gloucester’s inner harbor where they passed by The Greasy Pole and Hammond Castle en route back to The Eastern point Yacht club where they disembarked and the race begins. On East Main Street one of the teams stopped the Mrs and her friends who just got out of a run-fit class for directions to Boston’s Logan Airport. She had to sign a release stating that she may be on TV.
One team stopped while in traffic on East Main St and rolled down their window. It was a good looking man and woman who asked how to get to Logan. When the car stopped two cameramen popped out of SUV which was right behind the man and woman race team who were rolling seperately in a Smart Car. The cameramen and a microphone were shoved in the Mrs face and when she replied how to get to Logan the team told her not to speak to anyone else. Then they signed the releases and were off.
I’ll post many more pictures of the teams over the course of the next few days. if you are looking at the video right now at 6:58PM it may be fuzzy but the quality will improve within an hour when it is fully processed by YouTube.

Many More Pics and Video Coming Later
In this picture when you click for full size you can see the camera men in front of each team as they sit on lobster traps on the stern of each boat

Joey,
Here are the seagulls at i4c2 after everyone left.
Also, if you go there early in the morning, you’ll see them!
A lot of them cleaning/picking up the place.
We need a birder to tell us why they are doing this…
Thanks,
Betsy
We are only a week and a half away from the first elimination races! June 5th rowers will be putting it all on the line to see who will eventually represent the U.S. in the International Dory Races on the 19th. We encourage any and all rowers to participate, be part of the racers and experience the camaraderie of all the competitors!
Volunteers needed!
We need people to help carry one of the new boats at the Dory Shop on Harbor Loop. This Saturday at 1 p.m. you will be paid in victuals and libations immediately following the move! (Gino is cranking on the dory building and we may be racing in the new boats this fall!!!)
We also need help during the eliminations and will be needing rowers to teach kids to row in early June.
See the website for details of all the events.

Hi Joey,
Tom and Lisa from the amazing “LOBSTER POOL” restaurant have been coming into the store for many years purchasing flags. This year after no luck finding a pre-made lobster flag for the restaurant I offered to paint one for them.
Should be flying there this weekend. It was a lot of fun creating this for them.
I think after this hand painting flags will be a new item for the shop.
Thanks and hope to see you soon.Pauline Bresnahan

Warm enough to ditch the boots & gloves, allowing for the 1st water shots of the season. Nothing epic, but 80 degrees and little waves.
