This gathering of schooners, hosted by Maritime Gloucester, is made possible by the volunteer efforts of over 30 people and local organizations who serve as committee members, as well as the many sponsors and donors who fund the event.

Today I met Richie Cassola, still lobstering at 70+ years of age. Thanks for letting me take your picture! I love his hat.

Now the second sign has me thinking about a third! What would you add?
This guy is guilty of nectar thieving in the first degree! He even looks guilty. We have been bothered by this raccoon stealing hummingbird nectar on a regular basis. Our neighbor Jim caught him and I’m told he’s been transferred to a new home. No, not in Joey’s neighborhood. Joey needs no further excuses for his hummingbird failures.
Here’s the thief and his victims. Thank you neighbor Jim!
