Gorton’s “Smarty Cruchman” promoting a New line of never fried fish sticks that have 50% less fat then their orginal fish sticks… This tour started at their headquarters here in Gloucester Ma. this morning and moved to Gloucester Crossing Market Basket parking lot for their 2nd tour stop.

Caught in the Act
In all my years of observing squirrels, this is the first time I’ve caught them in the squirrel procreation act. Spring is around the corner, so they must be doing it in Gloucester too.

Maritime Gloucester Looking For Help From Local Lobstermen
Hi Joey,
Hope all is well. We are currently looking for lobstermen to assist us with stocking our touch tanks and other aquariums this spring and summer. We would be highly interested in having anyone you know assist with the collection of local marine species for live display in our Aquarium. Any unusual lobsters, skates, or other creatures would be much appreciated starting in May. We will happily take care of transporting sea creatures from your facility to Harbor Loop. If you have any interest in helping out Maritime Gloucester in this way, please let me know.
Thanks you!

#StayWeird
I’m not a huge award show junkie. In truth, I rarely watch the Academy Awards (or the Oscars…even that confuses me), the Grammy Awards, the Golden Globes, the People’s Choice, the Emmys, or any of the others.
While I’m not proud (nor ashamed) to say that I have not seen a single one of the movies that were nominated for an Academy Award this year, I did, however, watch part of the award show on Sunday evening.
And, while doing so, I was pleasantly surprised by two things.
First of all, when Graham Moore won Best Adapted Screenplay for “The Imitation Game” he made an inspiring and brave acceptance speech. #stayweird

Secondly, oh the tears, listening to Tim McGraw sing “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” just about did me in. What a beautiful song.

Gorton’s Smart & Crunchy national tour
Hello, Joey.
Wanted to let you know that Gorton’s Seafood will be launching its first-ever national tour for a new product this week.
The Gorton’s Smart & Crunchy Tour -with a branded food truck, interactive pop-up dipping bar, and mascot/host “Smarty Crunchman” – will go coast-to-coast to introduce America to Smart & Crunchy Fish Sticks which have half the fat and 30 fewer calories than the classic Gorton’s sticks.
Read more and see photos about the tour in this release.
A send-off event will happen at Gorton’s headquarters at 12:30 Tuesday, 2/24, and the first tour stop will be Friday and Saturday at Northshore Mall from 11-6. Would love it if you could make a post about the national tour sometime this week.
Mascot “Smarty Crunchman” is the host of Gorton’s Smart & Crunchy Tour.

DRONE SURFING: Some locals headed out on Feb 22nd to catch a few sets #gloucesterma #DJIPHANTOM2
Good Harbor Beach Surfers
I headed out to capture some footage during the epic 40 degree heat wave on Sunday. I came across some guys who where also a little restless to get back to the great outdoors. I never met them, so I don’t have their names. I shot some pretty cool video, but I thought I would share some snap shots first. Now you have to have a very solid set of stones to paddle out in these waters this time of year. New England has some pretty decent waves in the off season, so it’s not really ever “off-season” for the surfers. If you know these kats, tell them to hit me up!

Gloucester Harbor Panoramas
The light was unfolding in such a glorious way late yesterday afternoon that on my way home from the Trident Art Restart event I stopped to take a few pictures of the Harbor Walk. The view of the harbor in the golden light made for a beautiful panorama and rotating around more fully, there was the sun going down over the Fort! Click images to view larger.

On a wellness check to my boat at the Beacon I came upon Jeff Weaver. He had been on the job in the same place for two frigid days. Pure plein air painting.

USCG Pendant Gloucester, Ma In Warmer Times
USCG Pendant Update
Tuesday the Coast Guard Cutter #Pendant started flooding due to a breached hull from all her thick ice-breaking. The crew quickly did damage control, and stopped the leak.
The Massachusetts State Police provided divers to get her back out to sea with less than 24 hours lost. BZ Pendant Crew and Mass State Troopers!
The Pendant was commissioned in August 1963. #opRENEW
