Yella on the Water – Gloucester Harbor view from the new deck

Yella on the Water joins a fantastic line up of seasonal plein air dining options in Gloucester. The inviting new outdoor space and decor of Danielle and Carlo Berdahn’s  Mediterranean bistro, Yella on the Water, in the former Morning Glory space on Western Avenue (Stacy Boulevard), beckons on any given sun day. The interior is equally alluring. Owner Danielle Berdahn enlisted some design help from Taniya Nayak and the snappy casual vibe is perfect.

Woburn native, Berdahn has a personal connection to Gloucester. She grew up spending magical summers on Wingaersheek at her family’s beach house. After hearing that fun fact, it’s easy to order the “Wingaersheek” cocktail. We had one brief hour between work and appointments to sample hand crafted appetizers (Hummus Awarma) and spirits.  Were we on vacation? A day-cation for sure, thanks to impeccable service and yummy local fare on a hot new deck with a view of Gloucester Harbor.

Willow Rest on Friday coffee tasting from 9 to 1 Friday. Eoin will also be selling coffee at the Rockport farmers market on Saturday.

Hey Joey,

Though till them people should stop by Willow Rest on Friday for a coffee tasting from 9 to 1. I will also be selling coffee at the Rockport farmers market on Saturday.
Hope you could give me a post!
Be well! – Eoin

Helping Hands

Summer equals sailing lessons and helping Freddy on the boat.  Finn’s favorite job is getting the crabs out of the traps and setting them free to rejoin their friends on the ocean floor. Check out the red eggs on the female he is holding.

Salt Water Grille for Dinner

We stopped at the new Salt Water Grille for dinner over the weekend and were pretty happy we did. It’s in the old Friendly ‘s building so there’s plenty of room inside for seating diners. The bar area is expansive and comfortable. In fact, I would say the vibe is “casual comfortable “. Our waitress Abby told us there are daily specials and that they are open for lunch. We had chowder, fish and Buffalo Tenders (which were perfectly tender). Thanks Abby!

FISHERMAN OF THE SKY

While filming PiPls, from high overhead came the shrilly distinct call of an Osprey. As majestic in flight as a Bald Eagle, he perused the beach and then circled back several times more. I wondered, is he coming for Piping Plover chicks or possibly the creche of Common Eider ducklings that was sweeping the shoreline for sea lettuce.


Creche of Common Eiders foraging for sea lettuce.

When I returned home I read Osprey pose very little threat to baby birds. Ninety-nine percent of their diet is fish and only rarely do they hunt other creatures, mostly when fish are not available. Commonly called Fish Hawk, Sea Hawk, and River Hawk, Osprey have evolved with such highly specialized physical characteristics to aid in hunting fish that they have been given their own taxonomic genus and family (Pandion haliaetus)

To learn more about Osprey, you may find John J. Audubon’s life history super interesting: Fish Hawk, or Osprey

Piping Plover chicks make easy targets for avian predators, but not Osprey 🙂
