Saturday, 8:30 a.m., Niles Beach – The Elimination Races will be held to determine who will represent the US vs. Canada on June 18th.

If you’ve been watching the GMG coverage of the International Dory Races and the building of the dories at Geno Mondello’s shop or if you want to share part in a great Gloucester tradition-

Head on down to Niles beach Saturday morning for the elimination races.

It’s a great thing to take the family to and you can register to become part of the action, you can buy t shirts, get row hard or row home bumper stickers.

Here’s the scenario- you pack the kids in the car, go to Last Stop Variety, grab a cup of coffee and one of their incredible muffins (blueberry and morning glory are awesome) and then go to Niles to catch the action.

Edible Plants In Rockport With Adam Bolonsky and Herbalist Shannon Kaye

Adam Bolonsky writes-

Herbalist Shannon Kaye takes Adam Bolonsky on a wild edible plants tour of the cattail swamp inland of Rockport’s secluded Loblolly Cove. The swamp and  cattails extend inland through conservation lands to the well-known freshwater wild swan nursery directly behind Pebble Beach. 

And guess what? Cattails contain corm. If you’re cooking and eating in the wild, you can use corm to make….pancakes!
