On May 25th, over 600 students and staff of the O’Maley Innovation Middle School in Gloucester, MA came together to create a lip dub to celebrate the S.A.I.L.S. initiative that is underway at the school.

S.A.I.L.S. stands for Service, Acceptance, Integrity, Leadership and Success, and this is the third year the students have chosen a theme song to represent SAILS for the year and put together a lip dub to help promote and foster the SAILS values and to build a positive community.

This year they chose two songs: “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten, and “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift.

I look forward to getting out for night photography when the weather warms up!  This is a night shot of The Friendship docked at Pickering Wharf in Salem.

The Salem East Indiaman Friendship was launched in 1797. She made 15 voyages during her career to Batavia, India, China, South America, the Caribbean, England, Germany, the Mediterranean, and Russia. Built for the Salem mercantile firm Waite and Peirce in the South River shipyard of Enos Briggs, she ended her activities as an American merchant vessel when she was captured as a prize of war by the British Sloop of War HMS Rosamond in September 1812.

The Friendship of Salem that now sits at Pickering Wharf is a 171-foot replica of the 1797 East Indiaman. It was built in 2000 in the Scarano Brothers Shipyard in Albany, New York. The shipsually operates as a stationary museum ship during most of the year. But it is a fully functioning United States Coast Guard-certified vessel capable of passenger and crew voyages; it makes special sailings during various times of the year. The Friendship of Salem is docked at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, established in 1938 as the first such site in the United States. The site, which includes several structures, artifacts and records, is operated by the National Park Service.

IDRC June Eliminations

Final Race Complete June 2016

A spectacular race for rowers and fans at Niles Beach, Gloucester

Monday night the open division final race was held.  The race pitted two veteran International champs against to power house brothers.  There was a steady breeze blowing straight into the Niles.  Nick and Vito Giacalone line up in lane one against Jimmy Tarantino and Joe Cominelli in lane three.  The two boats slowly inched up to the starting line even and then it began.  Jimmy and Joe jumped out to a quick half boat lead.  About half way to the flag the Giacalone boys caught up.  From there it was a back and forth battle to the flag.  Jimmy and Joe banged the turn and came out with a slight lead.  But once again the younger brothers made a push and caught the veterans.  Both teams traded the lead all the way home.  About fifty yard from the finish line Jimmy and Joe made a little push and inched ahead over the Giacalone brothers to take the win by a little less than a boat.  It was a tremendous race by both teams.  Now Jimmy and Joe will be back in the boats practicing for the next race on June 18th at the State Fish Pier at 10 AM against the Canadian team.  Congrats go out the all the competitors in the eliminations and best of luck against the Canadians.
