Good Harbor Beach Blue Shutters BeachCam Now Live!
Joey
We thought Good Morning Gloucester crowd would be interested in the new Blue Shutters BeachCam, which this weekend began broadcasting live video of Good Harbor Beach and of guests of the Blue Shutters strolling across the way to the footbridge. The camera is right in the Main Room of the Blue Shutters, by the big windows overlooking the beach. While you can’t make out every bathing suit and boogie board, you’ll be able to tell if it’s a good day for sunbathing, beachwalking or surfing…or just watching the weather and the waves. We’ll soon have this as a direct link on our website, but for now folks can visit our site’s “What’s New” blog to access the BeachCam. http://www.blueshuttersbeachblog.blogspot.com/
FYI – we have GMG to thank for this…you featured the Fiesta webcam back in June and that got us thinking that a Good Harbor BeachCam would be a good addition. We hope others agree – check it out and let us know what you think.

A visit to Cape Ann-
Hi Joey,
I had a wonderful visit from my best friend from high school who now lives in Florida and writes a blog. She posted about her visit to Cape Ann and I thought you might find it interesting and I would love to share it with the GMG community.

Mug Up July 31
We had a great Mug Up this Sunday. Linda Colman, FOB from Ann Arbor, MI came by with Bill Heckencamp and Jane Gibbs from Newburyport. Charity Ciaramitaro came bearing warm bagels and cream cheese, and showed us her first paintings and some of her photography (the first she had shown them to anyone – it is a great honor to be the first to see someone’s work, and it was wonderful – she has a great eye). Schooner Adventure’s Peter Souza stopped by bearing a CD gift of sea songs by John Roberts. The Boss was here as was Thom Falzarano, Ed Collard (who brought some glazed “walnuts” to taunt Paul “Paulie Walnuts” Frontiero with), Paul and Kathy Frontiero brought themselves and brownies with “walnuts”, R.D., Paul and Sue Morrison (who made some awesome zucchini bread from the monster zuccini in their garden – see R.D. pictured with it, the bread, not the monster zuccini), Ruth brought a cool fruit salad and Winslow came bearing blueberry muffins. Greg Bover was back for a visit from his organ installation at Harvard and arrived in his sailboat. I made my famous coffee and deviled eggs (in spite of the previous day’s egg explosion event). Everyone had a great time and no one left hungry.

Old Anchor Estimated From the 1800’s For Sale
Dave Jewell aboard the Lady J got this anchor snarled up with one of his lobster trawls. he brought it to the industrial boom over at the State fish pier where they hauled it off and now it sits at the top of our driveway here at Captain Joe and Sons. It stands about 6 feet tall and many people like to use them in front of a seafood restaurant or business. if you are interested in it, Dave is willing to sell it. Let me know.

Kim Smith Tapes Butterfly Show with Lisa Smith and Cape Ann TV’s After-the-Beach Teen Video Club
Kim writes-
I believe I mentioned that this past week, Lisa Smith and her Cape Ann TV After-the Beach Teen Video Club stopped by for a tour of my garden. Here’s a short clip, with a wonderful surprise visit by the friendly Question Mark butterfly, who very conveniently, stole the show.
The teens and Lisa did a great job and all very much enjoyed the beautiful creatures that flew in and out of our story. It is not easy to focus on tiny subjects using a heavy camera attached to a tripod. The full video of the garden tour and interview will air in the near future and we will keep you posted.
Gloucester Times Reporter Steven Fletcher Tweets That Birdseye Was Purchased For 6.5 Million
Read his Tweet here-
#Birdseye #Gloucester Jim Davis owner of New Balance buys Birdseye from developer Mac Bell for $6.5 million. Bell bought it for $2.25mil.
Joey writes-
My guess is that for that sum of money it would include more property than just the Birdseye Property, but that is only my uniformed guess. look for Steven’s Story In the Gloucester Daily Times Tomorrow
