17 days, 17 hours 17 minutes, 17 seconds Blackburn Challenge July 17

Posted on by paultmorrison

In January I posted 190 days to the Blackburn Challenge. 21 miles around Cape Ann with a paddle or an oar. Start my regime. I could do it.

Now there are only 17 days, 17 hours 17 minutes and 17 seconds left to July 17 when I am supposed to check in at 6 AM at the Gloucester High School parking lot. What was I drinking thinking?

I panicked yesterday and went to the kayak store to find an upgrade to my fifteen year old fuzzy green plastic kayak. Nothing really leapt off the wall to tell me a new boat could circle Cape Ann with ease and have plenty of time for a cold frosty after I made it under the greasy pole. My old reliable boat will have to do. I’ll shine that puppy up, slap a couple of GMG stickers on the bow, and it will slide through the water like greased lightning.

If you are thinking of watching from a specific spot just reply here and I will stick you on the map. Damon in “Glass Slipper” has Lanes Cove covered. My wife will be on Andrews Point. After that it’s touch and go. If you could supply a new set of arms or a cold frosty off Whale or Loblolly Cove I could then turn the corner and head for the Dogbar. (The bar by way of the breakwater.)

…At the helm, bronzed hands grip a spoked wheel

Posted on by blackswanbeth

…”At the helm, bronzed hands grip a spoked wheel,
sou’wester and visage age to a patina.
My father was one who sailed from this harbor

And returned with a trip of fish
all but one voyage, but you take note
of they that go down to the sea in ships.”… Continue reading

Joey:  Hope you had a great weekend! 

Tina Ketchopolos from Cape Ann Animal Writes–

Good Morning Gloucester!   My name is Sammy
and I am an affectionate one-and-a-half year
old adventurous girl. I love checking out new
spots, going for walks and having a good time.   
I am kind and love spending time with people. 
I am learning how to ride in the car and sitting
nicely.   I love the beach, playing ball and having
fun.  I am looking forward to meeting my forever
family.   If you are interested in learning
more about me, please stop by the Cape Ann
Animal Aid in Gloucester, a non-
profit shelter.  Visit our website at: 
capeannanimalaid.com
I am residing there until I am adopted;
they are just wonderful to me. 
By the way, what does being "a little mischief mean?"
I thought I was a Shepherd and Terrier mix!

Scotty Horne’s Boy Is Destined To Be Great Fisherman

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I can see it in this kid.  The way he climbs all over the boat without any fear.  The way he grabs the fish and loves everything about being out on the water.  Mark my words- in 15 years this kid will be a great Gloucester fisherman (that is if they let you catch any fish by then or if the entire industry hasn’t been bought out by big corporations which will make it impossible for a young person to make break into it).
