one more flaming post

This was a few minutes earlier than the other video. My sister said there were two explosions. A smaller one then a really big one. The bilge and then the gas tank? Just conjecture. Everyone got off safely?

Duh Joey, There already is a Park and Shuttle System in #GloucesterMA That can get tourists off Downtown Gloucester Roads and To The Beaches for next to nothing!

So before Last Night’s Taping Of The GloucesterCast we Had Been Talking About How Gloucester Should Have a Park and Shuttle Solution Like Rockport Does.  Well, Duh, It Has had One For a Long While!  I Don’t Think Many People Know About It Though.

Charlene Delaney who volunteers at the Stage Fort Park Visitor’s Center came out and explained Gloucester’s system of parking free at Stage Fort and being shuttled all over town for next to nothing on The CATA shuttle.

Weather Heading Into Smiths Cove

Thunder, lightning and the most beautiful light – just breathtaking, as I stand out on a dock with metal railings and lightning flashing around.  Only for GMG.

So I was paddling all the way around Cape Ann and

when I crossed under the Greasy Pole to finish a boat exploded over in the cut. To complete circumnavigation I had to go that way to get back to my car at the high school. The boat was burning like a big rubber duck.

Boat Fire in River Behind Cape Ann’s Marina Resort

A boat in the water behind Cape Ann’s Marina Resort caught on fire a little while ago. Everyone is OK and it is NOT one of the boats participating in this weekend’s Bluefin Blowout Tournament.

Sometimes you just gotta cross the bridge

Last night, a number of our Gloucester friends came to the Robert Randolph & The Family Band concert we presented at The Cabot in Beverly, some of whom exclaimed, “Boy it’s just amazing that we can see this level of music so close to home!”

Indeed, Beverly is about as close as a national touring artist, the likes of Robert Randolph, is likely to get to Gloucester.  So perhaps it’s time for us to extend our notion of “just down the road” to include Beverly, which is … dare I say … over the bridge.

Tomorrow we’re bringing three of the hottest Boston area bands to the Cabot stage: Boston Music Award winners Ruby Rose Fox and Jesse Dee with Salem’s Sarah & the Wild Versatile.  We believe all three bands will soon be playing much bigger venues — that are much farther away than Beverly and — oh yeah — charge a whole lot more for tickets.  ALL AGES  seats for tomorrow’s concert start at $15 (the same as it costs to see Jurassic World at the mall).  It’s a great show for your kids, who’ll be able to say “I saw them up close at The Cabot!”  Good seats are still available here.

First Fish On!

Congratulations to the Captain and Crew of the Bulldog!  They have the 1st fish on the hook in this year’s Bluefin Blowout Tournament!

Let’s hope they get it on the boat and then stay tuned for the ETA at Cape Ann’s Marina Resort for weigh in.  Good luck, Bulldog!!

If you haven’t seen a bluefin tuna up-close, you should!
