Host Families Needed for Gloucester/Tamano Homestay Program
Let’s Show Our Sister City a Gloucester Hospitality!
We are super excited to announce that students from our sister city, Tamano City, Japan, will be visiting us this summer! To make their stay unforgettable, we need some awesome host families. This is a fantastic opportunity for fun and cultural exchange, and we would love for you to be a part of it!
Host Family Opportunity:
Students: 3 females and 2 males ages 15 to 17.
Chaperone: 1 female adult
From: Tamano City, Japan – Gloucester’s sister city
Dates: Arriving Wednesday, July 23 in the evening; Departing Sunday morning, August 3
Why Host?
Cultural Exchange: Enjoy a meaningful cultural exchange that enriches your family’s experience and broadens your global perspective.
Minimal Commitment: Students will be busy with English lessons and excursions during weekdays, so your primary responsibilities will be providing breakfast, dinner (during the week), and sharing all meals during the weekends with your family.
Self-Sufficient Students: Students bring their own spending money and manage their own lunch at local restaurants during the week.
Your Role as a Host:
Provide a welcoming and supportive environment.
Provide breakfast and dinner during the week and all meals on the weekends.
Share your local customs and family life.
Enjoy the company of your international guest during the evenings and weekends.
Join the Gloucester Host Family Community!
Be a part of an unforgettable experience that has brought joy and global connections to our community for years. Hosting these students is a wonderful opportunity to showcase Gloucester’s warmth and hospitality.
If you have any questions or would like to become a host family, please feel free to contact Jason & Shannon Hakes. <jhakes1978@gmail.com>
We are happy to provide more information and answer any questions you may have.
Let’s make this exchange program a success together and show our friends from Japan how welcoming Gloucester can be!
Thank you for your support
You and me go fishin’ in the dark. No surprise that my son was down on the docks looking for striper late last night.

We are not the only ones anxiously awaiting summer weather and fun….the schooners are as well. I had the pleasure of catching the Ernestina-Morrissey at the Maritime Gloucester dock last week. (**Thanks for the heads up Carol**) She’s a sight for sore eyes.
It’s dirty from rolling around in the back of my truck each night but still 💯 intact. I bought a cheap Chinese made flag off Amazon for our boat last year and at the end of the season it was completely tattered

Went to the beach late Wednesday afternoon and saw a familiar sight. The moorings are going back in at Magnolia Harbor. Love the dog on the boat.

Salted Cod Gallery is pleased to present Coco Berkman’s striking linoleum prints on view as guest artist throughout the month of June. A celebrated printmaker with a distinct voice and a deep commitment to process, Berkman brings a rich collection of works that transform everyday struggles into profound visual statements. Each piece begins as a much-revised drawing—drawn, redrawn, torn, taped, and refined until it feels true. That drawing is then transferred to a linoleum block, carved with fine tools, and finished with layers of ink and color.
Salted Cod Gallery invites the public to experience Coco Berkman’s work throughout June, each one the culmination of careful, intuitive labor.
Salted Cod Art House features Rocky Neck Art Colony juried members. Be sure to stop by, as each day, one of the 24 artists are there to meet and greet.
June Guest Artist: Coco Berkman
Dates: June 1 – June 30
Location: Salted Cod Gallery, Gloucester, MA
53 Rocky Neck Avenue • Gloucester, MA 01930
Open Wed-Fri, 3pm-10pm; Sat & Sun, 11:30am-10pm

Finally, the weather was nice enough to allow us a nice day to take our first whale watch of the season with Cape Ann Whale Watch on Main St. The experience is always great starting with plenty of free parking, picking up boarding passes and historical/nature tidbits offered throughout by staff. I had hoped to see feeding behaviors and boy, did that dream come true in a BIG way. We saw humpbacks Sundown, Aerospace, Pox, Music and Iron but Sundown stole the show. Sundown has a distinct pattern of kickfeeding which scientist Tina clearly explained to all of us. Most of these photos are of Sundown and his bird companions hoping to steal a bit. Sundown spent time pretty close to the boat and Capt John did a great job keeping an appropriate distance but whales are unpredictable and we were graced with several viewing opportunities fairly close by. We appreciated the invitation to the wheelhouse to view the activity from that vantage point. If you haven’t been lately, you really should go out there and experience these wonders right off our own coast. Thank you Capt Jim D; Capt John C; Tina, Sara, Michael and Joth. Outstanding. This trip will live in my top 3 ever whale adventures which include Alaska AND Cape Ann Whale Watch! Additional story details and photos at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook. Check it out! It was challenging to select just these few from the 1600+ images taken so check out the others.

CAPE ANN COLLECTORS Summer Show, Line, Form, and Color: Art’s Highest Calling, opens Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, 2-6 p.m. (Saturdays through June 21). This compelling collection (among 53 works) celebrates an enlightened yet accessible body of work conveying emotion and creating mood through selective and purposeful design.
Australian born Cape Ann master Hayley Lever states, “This is my rule for artists: be a good craftsman and then paint as you feel – using art as a vehicle for conveying emotion.”
Lever articulates art’s highest and best calling – bold and energetic work (often from natural forms) using line, form, and color – creating mood with line, form, and color to capture vitality, emotion, and intellect. Answering the call, CAPE ANN COLLECTORS’ new acquisitions from cherished masters Leon Kroll and Nell Blaine combine advanced strategies relative to form and design for irresistible appeal.
Burst into summer with CAPE ANN COLLECTORS’ dazzling designs!
