Santa Maria Saved
The seine boat SANTA MARIA was found capsized at her berth in Harbor Cove Friday morning. It took the Coast Guard, Fire Department and volunteers to right and drain her.
Apparently, the boat was improperly made fast so that the rising tide hung her up and capsized her.

Sorry, Not sorry, I’m obsessed!
I am absolutely OBSESSED with Pilot House sushi!
Almost all my friends are sushi lovers like I am and we are starting to make this more than a weekly thing.
Check out the awesome boat we got last time!
In honor of St. Peter, a boat load of sushi!
My mouth is watering…. This was so amazing!

The Five Retail Doors of the Cape Ann Tool Company
It has been decades since the ring of the 100 ton drop forge has been heard at the Cape Ann Tool Company. It took most of 2013 to get the smokestack down. Now it is time to dream about what will go behind the five doors.
My wish list:
1) A restaurant: Northern India plus Seafood. Greg Bover wants it named “The Tan Dory”. Or Mexican Seafood. “The Pigeon Cove Taco”. This will include a bar which does not require ordering a Cove Burger in order to be served a Fisherman’s IPA.
2) Coffee Shop and Bakery: fresh coffee and a bagel. Opens at 6 AM and imports Brother’s Brew Butternut Crunch Doughnuts.
3) Village Market: loaf of bread, butter, potatoes, onions, six pack of beer, Cape Pond Ice, scratch tickets, Allen’s Coffee Brandy.
4) Tackle Shop: bait, rods to rent for kids to catch a flounder behind the store, T-Shirts from Cape Pond Ice.
5) Art Studio: Art CO-OP, all media, pottery, ceramics, Rockport Art Association North Colony.
What’s on your wish list? A fresh seafood market? In-N-Out Burger? Uniqlo?

And Then There Were Three! Baby Bird Update.
Three little chicks chillin’ in our nest!
Some of you have asked for updates on our little eggs and the feathered interloper who has found its way into the House Sparrow nest in our front porch hanging plant.
If you’re not sure of the background information, check out the post HERE!
We started with a nervous momma bird who would bolt each time we entered/exited our little house.
Soon enough we realized that there was a perfect little nest inside our hanging plant with four small eggs….and one larger one.
We discovered the larger egg belonged to an “Interloper”…in this case a Cowbird.
Just a couple of days after the discovery, the baby cowbird hatched.
Somewhere along the way the four house sparrow eggs dwindled slightly to just three! No trace of the egg shell anywhere. Weird.
The momma house sparrow began taking care of the newly hatched chick…who clearly hatched from an egg deposited into her nest…by a totally different bird!
The update comes here…
A couple of days later, there are now also two much smaller babies in the nest. For now, the three birds are snuggling together nicely and all seems OK in their world.
Will the peace continue?? I sure hope so!

Community Stuff 6/19/15
Gloucester has tremendous amounts of woodlands that residents enjoy including several City-owned areas in West Gloucester. Essex County Greenbelt recently built a better trail gateway to the Tompson Street Reservation off Concord Street. Similar trail gateways improvements are under consideration for trails on City-owned land in West Gloucester.
Ward 5 Councillor Bill Fonvielle, Charlie Crowley and the rest of the Gloucester Open Space & Recreation Committee invite the public to attend a community forum to discuss plans to improve hiking trail entry trailheads in West Gloucester. The forum will focus on locations on Forest Lane, Laurel Street and Essex Avenue (leading to Fernwood Lake). Plans include adding signs and improving parking. For more information contact Stephen Winslow, Mass in Motion – Cape Ann Project Manager at swinslow@gloucester-ma.gov or 978-282-8007.

Joey,
We have a mystery that only you and the GMG gang can solve!
During the Schooner Challenge last Monday, June 9, 2015, (which was fantastic, BTW) a mysterious drone flew out over us! I’ve attached two images from the wrap movie that I’ll be getting to you today or tomorrow.
Whose Drone was it?
And the bigger question – where were they flying it from?
We were way out in the Harbor!
Thanks for all you do to build strong community on Cape Ann!
Best regards,
Barry O’Brien
