Gloucester Sea Serpent, in dollar bill origami
The infamous Gloucester Sea Serpent attacking some schooners. In my dollar-bill-origami rendition, I further enhance the already fanciful descriptions of the sea monster, giving it four horns instead of just one…
No dollar bills were cut, glued, or otherwise damaged (beyond folding) in this production. All models designed and folded by me.
Do you think I might have an overactive imagination?

Pullling the masts out of Schooner Adventure From Barry O’Brien
This last Wednesday down at The Gloucester Marine Railways, Dan Mayer or Mayer Tree Service drove his 125’ crane down from Essex and pulled the masts out of the Schooner Adventure. The plan is to inspect, repair and replace whatever is needed in preparation for sailing.
The folks behind the Schooner Adventure are hell-bent and determined to have her sailing again for the Schooner Festival. It’s has been a huge undertaking, and it’s not over, yet, but this short video gives you a little insight into the quality of the people who are bringing the Adventure back to sailing condition and the heritage of fishing under sail alive.
Best regards to you and your whole Good Morning Gloucester team! It’s wonderful what you folks do.

Young Artist of the week!
This young artist of the week is a very talented 14-year-old photographer named Sarah. Sarah does digital and darkroom photography, and did a great series of graffiti photography last fall for the TAG gallery opening [one pictured below]. Above are some of her photos on display at Nights on the Neck last summer, but you can see more of her work at the TAG gallery at 180B Main St.
If you know of a young artist that should be featured here, email dawn.gadow@gmail.com with a short description and a photo of some of their work!

Andrews Point today ready for Surfin’?
A lone surfer with board was looking at it but sense prevailed. At low tide there was no way to get into the water without having your brains bashed out by Cape Ann granite.

Also included are some shots of some cute plump birds dabbling in the rocks. Same ones we saw at the end of Dogbar Breakwater last week. They are amazing little flyers in formation.

This is an old postcard sent by Sylvia DeBoever (you remember Sylvia, Sarah Lawrence’s niece from the 66 year letter post) to Fred Bodin. Fred sent it to me so you could all enjoy it. Thanks Sylvia. Hope your knee surgery went well.

Meet Mr. Pumpkin
…if you haven’t already.
Mr. Pumpkin allowed me to interrupt his nap time for this photo. He is very friendly and relaxed (or at least he was when I visited). He lives at Gloucester Music (210 Main St.), a store that sells CDs, LPs, instruments, sheet music, and other musical supplies and accessories.
