Huge Thanks To The Team At Three Lanterns Ship Supply

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

So looking at the hull of our boat there was a decent amount of yellow staining on the hull.

I was thinking we were going to have to compound it out.

I went down to Three Lanterns and came across Star Brite Hull Cleaner AND Sea Choice Hull Cleaner. Looked like the same exact packaging. Had the same wording on the back, but different front label and name. The Sea Choice one was about half the cost of the Star Brite.

Brought both up to the counter and the salesperson told me essentially they’re the same stuff saving me $$$.

Brought home the Sea Choice and went to work on the boat. It was really easy. I highly recommend the product.

The hull needs wax and that’s about it!

Thanks Three Lanterns Ship Supply for providing essential services to the local maritime industry!

David Collins says:

Hi, Pat!

I just wanted to thank you and Joey and all the other GMG authors as well as Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken for giving us every day through Joey’s blog, some wonderful diversions, whether witty, whimsical, funny, serious, instructive, informative, practical, historical, tasty or any way otherwise at a time we so need it.

I may not live in Gloucester any longer but I very much appreciate being able to keep in touch this way with the place and its amazing people – and that means the world to me. Please, stay Gloucester Strong!

(And may the best hummingbird feeder win!)

Russell Orchards is Open!

Posted on by Pat D

Hello cider donuts and Ice Cider! Russell Orchards has opened for the season with a few changes in place. Some to protect customers and workers like plastic guards. Some for the future like a wine tasting area! It’s still a little chilly, but my heart warmed right up when I saw they were open.

I think this is what fellow GMG contributor Charlene Delaney meant when she suggested red geraniums to help attract hummingbirds. Thanks Charlene! How are you doing over there Joey?

Hummingbird War Day Two: More Of The Same

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Dalpiaz rubs my nose in her hummingbird feeder success while the well is dry as a bone despite multiple feeder initiatives

😢

I can just picture that rotten Pat Dalpiaz sitting at her table rubbing her greedy little hands together and giggling every time another hummingbird stops by at her feeder while I wallow away in misery staring out wistfully at our hummingbird abyss.
