My View of Life on the Dock
The stone washed ones didn’t last a day. Congrats to those of you who got in on it.
A few of the new micro mesh golf style premium caps are still available but probably wont last the night (these ones are my favorites)-
If you want one I’d place your order ASAP click here to order

On Saturday October 12,2013 a dedication ceremony was held at Maritime Gloucester 23 Harbor Loop to dedicate the beautiful Compass Rose that was installed over the summer. The Compass Rose was donated by Matthew Collins. The artist was Mark Read. They both spoke as well as Tom Balf Executive Director of Maritime Gloucester, state and city officials. A reception was held following the ceremony. Music was provided by Michael O’Leary and friends. A good time was had by all. The event was well attended.
Hi Joey-
I wanted to let everyone know that the installation of the Compass Rose sculpture (pictured here with the Sculptor himself, Mark Read) is complete. It is located at the front of Maritime Gloucester and is a beautiful sight to behold, especially at night when it is lit!

GHS wins another close game against Lynn English
October 10, was the outdoors’ Farmer’s Market last day for the season. They have some dates reserved for indoors. Will miss the fresh yummy fruit and veggies etc.
The Hornets played the Lynnfield Pioneers to a 0-0 tie at Hyland Field in Manchester Monday October 14, 2013. Lots of chances with one incredible shot bouncing off the crossbar, the ground and a few other things but not getting in the net!
We had a wonderful grand finale Mug Up at Khan Studio and the GMG Gallery on Sunday. The weather was perfect, and fun was had by all, from the youngest to the oldest. As always, there was plenty of good stuff to eat, but the definite showstopper was Sister Felicia’s cranberry orange tort – scrumptous!
It was a little bittersweet. Season has ended, the gallery is closed, and winter is around the corner. But don’t fear, there will be more Mug Up fun over the winter as hosts James Eves at Cape Ann Giclee, Fred Bodin, Donna Ardizonni and others take up the mantle and keep the tradition alive through the dark, cold winter months. Maybe Joey will even have another one at the dock!

Olive Kitteridge, the HBO miniseries, was filming at the North Shore Art Association yesterday.
Olive Kitteridge, the book, is a collection of short stories written by Elizabeth Stout, and is set in the town of Crosby, Maine. Olive Kitteridge was the 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction.
Is that Adam Bolonsky in the red sweatshirt?
Early that same morning I had taken Rosie for her morning walk. The sunlight streaming sideways through the fog shrouded trees was gorgeous and our hood had a new look for the day; the North Shore Art Association had become Crosby Lyons Club and the parking lot was filled with vintage cars from the 1970s and 1980s .

Nice view Sunday morning from the harbor.

Oh! I am Mindy, a sweet, meek and mild mannered little one-year-old cat. I am residing at the CAAA located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter in Gloucester. I have just finished caring for my litter of kittens and now I am looking for a loving home as well. I have to go get my beauty sleep, after taking care of all my babies, I am looking forward to a little “me” time.
Good Morning Gloucester
