During the first Maritime Saturday of the 2019 season, along with the Gloucester Marine Railways Corporation Board of Directors and Staff, we will be celebrating the retirement, and 42 years, Doug Parsons has been part of the Railways.
(Some of us don’t really believe this is the last
the Railways will be seeing of him.)
Our Maritime Saturday activities will be from 10am to 2pm. Yet seems more than right to focus the celebration at high tide (roughly 1035am) since most of Doug’s schedule has revolved around the tide for so many years.
Please join us for Mug-up,
at the Gloucester Marine Railways Corp,
81 Rocky Neck Avenue, Gloucester.
Honor Doug, get an update on the Phyllis A, and enjoy some great food.
We look forward to seeing you!
Fair winds,
Amy

This beautiful nest of Least Tern eggs was located outside a cordoned off area. I guess they didn’t get the 411; no one told the Terns they are supposed to lay their eggs within the protected area 🙂
Aren’t they so perfectly camouflaged. I nearly stepped on them.
There is just something so positive and optimistic, so life-affirming, about a nest of eggs.

Wrong tide, wrong wind but I wanted some mackerel for my smoker so I’m whipping a little silver dude into the wind and a helium ballon floats by. There is a swirl behind it so I cast behind it and sure enough a small striped bass too dumb to know better is trying to eat the streamer. I reel her in and put her back in the water and chased down the balloon that went up on the rocks a hundred yards downwind.
So this is my public service announcement. We don’t have to ban these things, just don’t buy them.
Don’t be a bad dad. If you want to be bad, pop these things in the checkout line at Market Basket. I will bail you out. Promise.
If you impulse buy one in the Market Basket checkout because you forgot your daughter’s birthday, stop. You are a bad dad. Don’t make it worse. Buy a box of oreos instead.
Last year’s haul. They last forever. Every tiny bit looks like food to a fish.

We have finally got some warm weather to compliment the hot real estate market that has been occurring this spring. The question earlier this year was, what are rates going to do and how was that going to influence the housing market???
You will notice from the above graphic, that in May 2018 rates were close to 4.5% and moving up to almost 5% at year-end 2018. January 2019 the rates dropped, and then in March, they really dropped and where they stay today…the low 4’s. The reason this is happening is because, as I wrote in March, the Fed decided to keep rates unchanged for the most part in 2019. The markets reacted favorably to this news, and rates began to settle down. Because there is no talk of future rate hikes, and with uncertainty in the trade and tariff markets, mortgage rates have benefited. And you can too!
