My View of Life on the Dock





The fog on the Annisquam…. While not conducive to a great beach or a boat day, was at least pretty. So, there’s that.

What a weekend!!! We loved every minute of the Rendezvous and the International Dory Races! One more epic weekend in the books for Gloucester! Woot Woot. We went on the Pride of Baltimore II for the Sunday morning Schooner Gam in the fog (what? fog this weekend interfering with an activity????) and it was simply fantastic. Thank you visiting schooners, Maritime Gloucester, International Dory Race Committee, Gloucester 400+ and the City of Gloucester for yet another amazing event. Hail to Michael DeKoster; we could hear his laugh clearly across the harbor even if we couldn’t see him very well.

Rick and took a sail on The Lannon on Saturday. Wonderful and fun. Thank you Heath for a great sail. Even the fog did not dampen the fun.

Climbing Tree…

Where has the time gone? College in less than two months. This can’t be real.

Here are a few photos from a walk I took along the temporary docks installed at I4C2 on Rogers St to view the schooners Columbia and Pride of Baltimore. Other schooners come and go but deck tours continue today Sunday July 9 from 2-4 PM at the Maritime Dock as well as the I4C2 dock. You really should take advantage of this unique opportunity (and it’s free!). The Maritime Gloucester Museum and exhibits are also free admission but you need a timed entry ticket ( link here ).







Hot off the presses…..update on fireworks:

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:
On Friday took a walk around the I4C2 float and visited The Pride of Baltimore. On Saturday afternoon Rick and I are taking a sail on The Thomas Lannon. Love these beautiful Schooners. You can follow the link below for more information.
