Let’s get that follow number up for them GMG style. Click the link and follow them for interior construction pics of how it’s coming along and I’m guessing the news about what big bands will be coming to play there.

And here’s a video we taped with Travis Siewers a couple of days ago detailing what will be going on:

Sanctuary…

The American side of the traditional International Dory Races were held today off the dock at Maritime Gloucester on Harbor Loop. There were spectators lining the dock areas and also at the Coast Guard Station to watch (thank you Coast Guard for allowing the spectators to watch from that vantage point!) Five races were held and the US was represented by AJ and Kadin Lewis for the Juniors (happy 18th birthday AJ!); Womens Ashley Smith and Rachel Cecilio; Masters Joe Sanfilippo and Erik Dembrowski; Seniors Sam Taormina and Peter Taormina, Women 50+ (I am sorry I did not get full names or correct spellings, so input appreciated and corrections can be made) Elin Af Klinteberg and Linda Geary. The US took home the title for the Juniors and the Masters. The Canadians won the Womens and Senior races. The Women 50+ was exhibition only and the Canadian team prevailed. I did not get any of the Canadian team members names so I apologize but I hope the pictures tell the story for you.

In August, the rowers go to Lunenberg Nova Scotia to have another set of races there. A few more than my normal number of pictures, but it was 5 races!

The International Dory Races will be held today Saturday July 6 at the Harbor Loop Maritime Gloucester dock starting at 10 AM! See you there!

Here are a couple of video clips from our recent Sunset Greet the Fleet Sail aboard the Schooner Ardelle. Just breathe and enjoy. But also, get to Maritime Gloucester on the Harbor Loop so you don’t miss any of the fun! The International Dory Races are scheduled for 10 AM to start the day Saturday July 8 2023. See you then!
