Hi,
I’m a part time Gloucester resident who reads your blog daily since I signed up for it a few months ago.   My husband and I have vacationed in Glouc. since 1982.  In 2008, we bought a condo unit on Western ave towards Magnolia.   We visit every chance we get.  I am a diehard Bruins fan (long story since we live in New Rochelle, NY) and see at least 2 games at TDG every year.  I was at the Islander game a few weeks ago that we won.   That’s me on the left w/ my friend who owns the condo with us (she got hooked on Gloucester first time).

Barry goes fishing with the Yankee fleet and esp. loves the Thurs. marathons.   In all the time we’ve spent up there, we love how unspoiled and friendly it remains.   The info on the Genome was passed to me by the Gloucester Astronomy Club who’s doings I also follow.
Loved your reco for Oliver’s restaurant.    We’re going to try Short and main next.    
Cheers!
Lisa

Stand Up Paddleboarding at Pavilion Beach

Posted on by Pat D

Cape Ann SUP and Surf is now open at all locations, including this one at our own Pavilion Beach. Several people were enjoying some time on paddleboards during the recent heat wave. I already admire the instructors, but I especially admire that apparently they can instruct while going backwards in order to face their students! This is something I have always wanted to try and one day you are going to see me out there!!!
