Rainbow Over Stanwood Point

Posted on by Nichole S.

My son was playing baseball up in Wells/Ogunquit with the Junior Fishermen and as the rain clouds came and went throughout the day…..soon came the rainbow! The rainbow over the field was beautiful and we followed it all the way home (photo of the rainbow over the field is included as well). There were many times that we could see a rainbow big and bright, but while driving I obviously couldn’t take a photo. Upon getting to Essex the rainbow was over the marsh behind Woodman’s and when we got to Gloucester we could see a part of it behind Nichol’s candy over Stanwood Point. That is where I snapped this photo.

Posted on by Pat D

On our way out to the Whale Watch from Cape Ann Whale Watch, we got an added attraction: a view of the Coast Guard exercises from the water. It was exciting to watch. Thank you Coast Guard for taking the training and keeping the waters safe for all of us.

EMPTY BOWL TO GO on Saturday, May 22, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at The Open Door (28 Emerson Avenue, Gloucester)

A new twist on an old tradition. Join The Open Door to mark the 20th Anniversary of this beloved community event. Empty Bowl TO GO is a by-appointment-only, drive-thru experience held this year at The Open Door, 28 Emerson Avenue in Gloucester.

Last year, thousands of people faced the uncertain drive to a food pantry for the first time. On May 22, guests will follow the same route down Emerson Avenue that became a lifeline for so many during the pandemic to pick up your simple meal—soup, bread, and a cookie at The Open Door. As always, the bowl will go home as a reminder that somewhere, someone’s bowl is empty.

Tickets: This year has been hard on the pocketbook, so we are pleased to offer “pay-what-you-can” tickets…

Amazing Day on the Water with Cape Ann Whale Watch

Posted on by Pat D

We took our first whale watch of the season Friday, which was a gorgeous day with sunshine and calm waters. Cape Ann Whale Watch did it again, aboard the Hurricane II with fantastic sightings! With probably just over 100 people on board, keeping distanced was pretty easy. We were all required to keep our masks on at all times when not actively eating or drinking. The crew cleaned commonly touched areas 3-4 times throughout the sail. Jamie, the naturalist did another outstanding job informing us of what we were observing. Capt John Caravallas found us bunches and bunches (official term) of dolphins, seals and whales (humpback and minke). It was a great day and I highly recommend a trip, especially if you haven’t been in a while. Cape Ann Whale Watch on Main St. has tickets available online or by phone. Free parking! (Thanks Capt Jim D for the great parking assist) We saw a breach, feeding behaviors and general whale frolicking.
