Brown’s Yacht Yard

  · We just got word that more of the Zodiacs we have on order have started to show up on the Production Log roster. This means that we’ll be seeing more of them roll in as we approach the New Year. This week’s featured incoming boat is a Medline 580. Some of you may be already familiar with this model, but the color schemes have been updated to now feature a very yachty white-on-white look. Think of this one as a bigger and more comfortable Yachtline. She’ll be rigged with a Yamaha 115 for plenty of oomph. She’s rated for 12 persons (comfortable seating for and has lots of storage in big lockers at bow and stern. Let us know if you want more info.

It’s our goal to promote collective local shopping alternatives, with a unique atmosphere to support our local makers, local environment, and local economy.

CAMM events are co-produced by Cape Ann Sea Salt Company and Hold Fast Company. 

The Magnolia Library and Community Center is dedicated to enriching the lives of our residents by providing educational and cultural experiences through programming and events.   

It is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS that small stretches of highway go years all screwed up and under construction and it doesn’t just affect one or two people, it affects the quality of life of the people of the entire state that drive.

Just ridiculous and I’d love for one person to give a reasonable explanation why these stretches take years to get done.

Thanks to Mark Ring for suggesting the 1640 Hart House in Ipswich! We had dinner there recently and left there saying to ourselves: “Well, that was fun!”. It advertises itself as featuring Elegant Country Dining, but don’t let that intimidate you as it did me at first. It’s apparently an old home made into a restaurant so the seating can be in any of several rooms. The room we were in included a bar and a fireplace, dark wood beams and comfy big chairs. You can see from the pictures that it was a bit dark in the room (you might want to bring some extra lighting along if you are of a certain age……) but this did not deter from the enjoyment of the atmosphere and food.

Jim had the Hart House chicken and I treated myself to the Grilled Tenderloin. The spring roll appetizer was especially delicious. The pace is relaxed and efficient. The food was done to perfection and the service was friendly and “just right”. Reservations are highly recommended and we plan to return someday.
