Sharing an update from the Maritime Gloucester Instagram page….some very exciting news for summertime Tuesdays on Harbor Loop!







Mark your calendars, get your swag, bid on items, join the fun, get ready to have a great time!
What you need to know. The Bluefin Blowout is not only one of the best events on Cape Ann…it is one of the leading fundraisers in the quest to #ENDALZ. There are so many ways that you can be present, have a blast, and help raise money for an unbelievably important cause. Do yourself a favor and save this schedule of events. On the calendar you will find two special events that are available for ticket purchase (The Bluefin Blowout Bash Fundraiser and the Bluefin Blowout BBQ By The Sea), the dates/hours when the tournament is open to the public to watch fish weigh-ins, have some drinks, enjoy music with DJ Scottie Mac, witness some awesome competition and camaraderie, etc. and the hours when you can purchase some of the much-coveted Bluefin swag, merch, and apparel… which you can also purchase on-line here…http://bluefinblowout.com/products/
Don’t miss out on that! The tournament brings together a pretty special group of people (captains, crews, sponsors, volunteers, organizers, attendees, fans of fishing, fans of Cape Ann, fans of simply have a GREAT time) but, most importantly, it brings together a group of people who share a pretty magnificent goal of raising $500,000 to help in the battle to End Alzheimer’s Disease. Be a part of the festivities, be a part of the fun, be a part of the giving. Those who give, gather. Come gather and have a good time. Also…and super important… the auction site is now live- browse the unique auction items benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association: https://bit.ly/BFBAuction22

It was such a pretty day and the Little River Landing is a peaceful spot for some quiet contemplation. Even the geese families agree!







The tuna in specific were cut and finished by the carpentry department at the Gloucester High School and then painted by some of Cape Ann’s best artists.
I’m so pleased by the way that they turned out. All proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. If you could help spread the word that would be great. Thank you !

Way to go FYS Hurricanes!

Pingree hosted the regional tournament. Exciting recap from FYS.
“The team had an incredible undefeated season all the way through the playoffs. The regular season had the team leading their division with a record of 7-0-1.
The record is impressive, but two things about the record only show up when looking into that stats:
– 5 of the 8 games were decided by 2 or less goals. So, nearly all games were very tight and hard played.
– Only 4 goals were scored against the team over the regular season. Excellent defense and goal tending by this team, highlights not found when looking at just the record.
For the playoffs, this team received a first round BYE.
The Semi-Final game occurred on a hot Friday evening. The team looked like it was cruising into the final game with a 2-0 lead with 10 minutes remaining when the unthinkable happened. The team allowed 2 goals to score with minutes left in the game. Regular time ended at 2-2, and the heat was really cranking on this team now. This team has gone into OT in the past during their winter season, so they knew what to do. The team scored the game winning goal with just minutes left in OT, avoiding the dreaded Penalty Kick tie-breaker.
The Final game was early Sunday morning, on father’s day. The girls were ecstatic and ready to go at game time which is good because the other team came out strong. The opponents appeared bigger and stronger than our young team, but our defense being our strength all season was up to the challenge. The game was tied 0-0 at half. After a brief halftime, the team was more determined than ever and came out aggressive and started to dominate play. The team just could not find the back of the net.
Until.
Until about 5 minutes remaining when they finally broke the draw and went ahead 1-0.
ECYSA CHAMPIONS!!
Congrats to the FYS Hurricanes team on an impressive season!”
