New from https://gloucesterapparel.square.site/ The softest airlume and combed ring spun cotton TShirts with Gloucester Beaches, “G” Elite Rope Caps. So new they’re not even on the website. If you see a design you like reach out and I’ll custom make it for you. Many of these there are only a couple of or one made so if there’s one you really want, let me know and I’ll pull it aside for you. We will be in the shop at 44 Main St later in the week and are hosting a community party for the Downtown Gloucester Block Party Saturday.

My adoption fee is waived through July 6th to promote Independence Day – from the shelter!

Say hello to Mia, who we affectionately call Mama Mia due to the litter of kittens she recently had while in our care. Mia is a very nice little lady who is about 2 years old. Shy at first is friendly once she gains your trust and enjoys pets and playtime. She prefers getting love and attention with her four paws on the ground instead of being picked up. She is a low-key kinda girl who enjoys the quiet life and taking long naps in the sunlight in her comfy bed. Mama Mia is more than ready to love her forever family, and she knows you’ll love her too; after all, how could you resist her?! Mia is now part of the extended stay club, which means her adoption fee has been reduced to help her find her forever home sooner.

Mia is available to meet by appointment only, please apply for her at capeannanimalaid.org/catapp

Last Tuesday, we started our day on the water with a ride out to Straitsmouth Island and ended the day aboard the Ardelle for the weekly Tuesday Schooner Challenge. This time, Isabella was crewed by the Schooner Adventure mates as we ventured out into the harbor for the “race” pitting Maritime Gloucester interns against the experienced Adventure crew. As opposed to the previous week, we were able to stay dry this time! There’s always something going on for these outings and this time we experienced a “man overboard” drill which included rescuing a lead filled bumper which was dropped overboard. We love watching these interns learn such a variety of skills during these sails. Highly recommended (PS there’s a Tuesday ticket discount). Tickets available here.

They just started an Instagram page and are available around East Gloucester

Give the boys a follow, maybe they’ll post some interesting landscaping stuff-
