My View of Life on the Dock
Driving home several nights ago, I passed Saint Peter’s Square at the moment the Ardelle was passing by and just had to turn around and take a snapshot of this beautiful pinky schooner in the golden late day light. For only one week more, you can purchase at Maritime Gloucester (or online at https://maritimegloucester.org/shop) discounted pre-season passes for the Ardelle.
Who is Matt Harding? He’s the viral-video guy who travels around the world and dances his signature goofy dance with the locals. His endearing and moving dance videos have garnered over 100,000 million views on YouTube. Here are some of his most recent hits:
Now Matt is coming to Gloucester to dance with us! On Friday, May 20th at 6:30p, he will be dancing with us at the Fisherman’s Statue on the Boulevard. If we get a lot of enthusiastic dancers, we might make it into his next video, to be seen by millions!
The Empty Bowl is in full swing! Don’t forget to stop by!
Walking near the Annisquam Lighthouse the beach looked so inviting.
I have no idea what it is, but I thought it was interesting. Anyone know?

The air will be filled with fun as Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department bring the first-ever Boston Bubble Festival to Boston Common on Saturday, May 14, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Building on the popularity of “Bubble Guy” Jim Dichter’s presentations at previous Parks Department children’s events, the Boston Bubble Festival will offer free outdoor activities in and around the historic Parkman Bandstand at 167 Tremont Street.
“Children have always loved playing with the bubbles at our festivals in Franklin Park so we decided to dedicate a day to this fun activity and bring it downtown to Boston Common,” Boston Parks Commissioner Chris Cook said.
The celebration will include giant floating bubble demonstrations, “make your own bubbles” stations, exploration of the science of bubbles with the Museum of Science Boston, an appearance by The Inventor Mentor (www.inventormentor.org), children’s fitness activities, and entertainment from a DJ, juggler, and magician.
The Boston Bubble Festival is presented by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department with sponsors Uncle Bubble, Massachusetts WIC Nutrition Program, Fisher College, HP Hood LLC, Disney’s “Alice Through The Looking Glass,” Disney-Pixar’s “Finding Dory,” Columbia Pictures’ “The Angry Birds,” and partners Magic 106.7, WERS-FM, and “Bubble Guy” Jim Dichter.
For more information, please call the Boston Parks and Recreation Department at (617) 635-4505, visit http://www.cityofboston.gov/parks or go to http://www.facebook.com/bostonparksdepartment.

Someone out there must know something about listservs. Please get in touch. People are telling me they are not getting these listserv emails. We had this other listsev before and the same thing happened after a while so we got a new listserv (this one) and now its happening all over again. Anybody out there know anything about listservs who might be able to help get this straightened out? It is certainly our most important form of communication for notifying the team about events and stuff.
And, Matt Burne, Nick Taormina and I have done a dozen or so new vernal pool surveys this year. We also set 6 turtle traps in a swamp in West Gloucester where we think there might be some Blanding’s turtles. If we find any, we may be able to delineate a Rare Species Habitat.
