This is how you do it! Congratulations again,Stevie Corbett and the crew of the Osprey!
You see that smile? that’s the smile of a guy that knows he created a brilliant piece of equipment that helped catch him a nice bluefin.
Here’s Steves brilliant Chum Cutting device-
Our buddy Stevie Corbett designed something so simple, so efficient so time saving for ANYONE that does ANY amount of fishing. Unless of course you’d rather spend your time chopping up bait for hours instead of getting your lines in the water.
Can’t catch fish when your lines are dry.

Captain Tom Ellis, skipper of the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon, hanging the ensign and drying out the sails after a rainstorm.
Captain Tom explains that in days gone by this would be a common sight in Gloucester Harbor, to see crews opening their sails to dry. Although it’s not necessary today because sails are constructed of synthetic fiber rather than cotton, on the Lannon, they dry their sails so that when the schooner departs with guests on board, the passengers don’t get doused when the sails are unfurled.
In his spare time, Captain Elllis hand carves beautiful whirlygigs.
To learn more about the gorgeous Schooner Thomas E. Lannon and to book a charter or public sail visit their website at Schooner Sails.

Friday the waves in the Harbor were really rolling..
Don’t miss this exciting solo exhibit of Ruth’s work at Trident Gallery.
Two great events you don’t want to miss on Thursday, August 7 on Rocky Neck.
Cape Ann Ceramics Festival Contemplation: Fine Ceramics from Cape Ann and Beyond, featuring world and local talent Opening Reception to be held on Saturday August 9, 4-6. First Peek at Nights on the Neck, Thursday, August 7, 5-9. Cultural Center at Rocky Neck, 6 Wonson St., Gloucester.
In similar fashion to the tournament’s opening day, Day #2 of this year’s Bluefin Blowout also ended with two large Bluefin Tuna being landed. The Osprey and the Tonno (Italian for tuna) both brought fish to the dock.
This year’s event was fantastic and it is safe to say, with such enthusiasm from organizers, participants, vendors, and spectators, it is only going to get better. I’m already looking forward to next year. This tournament provides a new take on the already rich summer schedule that Cape Ann offers and I hope it continues for years to come!
In all, 53 boats were entered and four scored some pretty phenomenal bluefin tuna!
The Miss Fern’s fish weighed in at 805 pounds
Tuna.com tipped the charts with a 913 pounder
The Osprey’s fish showed 497 on the scale
and a 588 pound fish was brought in by The Tonno
Check out the event’s website for updated information.
Here are some panoramas and video I took that fateful evening

Updated photos of the Schooner Adventure From Mary Barker
Hi Joey,
The Adventure’s crew and volunteers continue to be hard at work. This past week they were doing a lot of scraping and painting and sharpening scrapers on deck. The crews bunks, storage areas and head in the fo’c’s’le are nearing completion and prep work in the galley area initiated. Small projects in the engine room continue. The float is being worked on as well. This week the Adventure had plenty of company with the Harvey Gamage, Lady Maryland, and Roseway docked along side. How wonderful to walk down the pier to the sight of 4 sets of spars. Never a dull moment.
