Brian Carlson Represents! in Turks and Caicos

P1090943

Hey Joey,
Was that you on the flight from Boston to TCI behind those Foster Grants? Brian and I rented a scooter and drove to Long Beach where all the kite surfers hang out. Since we didn’t have our own gear, Brian (being the good ex Gloucester Coast Guard guy that he is)
Improvised with, you guessed it, his GMG t shirt.

We bought Red Snapper from some fisherman working off the back of a red pick up truck (note: he did come recommended by manager of Horse Eye Jack’s, great place next to Da Conch Shack). Cooked it on our grill and It was delish,

As Buffett would say, “The Weather is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful” – wait, you are Beautiful (or at least the Mrs. Is).

Brian says, “Keep the dry side up, and the wet side down.” I think that means don’t flip your boat over.

Signing off from Paradise,
Cindy H.

Rich Bean Submits This Photo-

After the thanks are handed out and the lobster trap tree is lit in the dead cold of the middle of winter the arduous task of taking the lobster trap trree has to take place.  Thank you  to all of those who pitch in to help take it down.

Hopefully Ed or David or Donna or Bex has a list of those that contributed their efforts, taking it down

Rainbows and Butterflies and Unicorns, Oh My

I was thinking, instead of the rubber duck race for charity maybe we could instead get together and make rainbow cakes.

When I came back from meetings this afternoon, I learned the Good News that it is Butterflies, Unicorns, and Rainbow Day on GMG!!! I had already scheduled the Homies post, but thought to squeeze in another to celebrate this special day on GMG. 

More Beautiful Gloucester Gull Photos from Charlie, Bob, John, and Marty

Seagull-1

This is my post, got it?

A flock of gulls at sunrise.Laughing Gull (summer plumage) at Dolphin Bar, Jensen BeachThe above three photos are from Bob Cullen, and he writes:

The first I caption “Harbormaster Homie”, taken 8/23/08 at Harbor Cove.
The second I caption “Homies Breaking at Dawn”, taken 8/8/12, 15 minutes before sunrise, at Good Harbor Beach.
The third is my “Away from Homie”, taken 4/21/11 in Jensen Beach, Florida. I include it because it’s my favorite gull photo (it’s a Laughing Gull, summer plumage), and because it very much resembles the gull in the GMG logo (which I don’t think exists in Gloucester.)
