On the Water — Pat Morss

Posted on by patmorss

Events on the water continue after this year’s 74th International Dory Race, including the 10th Bluefin Blowout (tuna tournament) and the 39th Blackburn Challenge (20-mile row/paddle around Cape Ann).

If you’re not competing, a drink out on your deck is a good summer pastime.
Outcast reeled in the 2nd largest tuna – 653 pounds – at the Bluefin Blowout.
Cleaning out the heart and guts before weigh-in.
Outcast‘s pretty trophy, fit for the dinner table. [First prize was 728 pounds].
Here are a few of the Blackburn classes, this being a 6-person outrigger canoe (OC-6).
It was relatively flat water, except for boat wakes, for this sliding-seat single scull.
A traditional 2-person Banks dory, from the Gloucester fishing schooner days.
I have the greatest respect for standing paddleboarders completing the 20-mile course.
The racing single kayaks look pretty small out in the ocean traffic.
If you own Annastar, you of course tow a 30-ft dinghy sporting 4 large outboards.
And then there are the afternoons when it’s just best to be in safe harbor.

Prior to the Pier Fest at Maritime Gloucester, took some photos on the pier.  The sky was beautiful and looked like it was telling a story.

The Paul Madore Chorale invites singers and instrumentalists to come to SummerSing on Monday, July 28, when we present a sing-along production of Mozart’s Requiem

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Paul Madore Chorale invites singers and instrumentalists to come to SummerSing on Monday, July 28, when we present a sing-along production of Mozart’s Requiem . In a mere two hours we will rehearse and sing through the piece, just for the fun of it. Ed Lundergan will direct, and Alan Hawryluk will rustle up a volunteer orchestra. It is held at First Parish Church, 10 Central Street, Manchester-by-the-Sea. Doors open at 7 pm, warm-up starts at 7:30. Scores will be available to borrow. Admission is $15. 

We also invite people to join us for Brahms’ Requiem on Monday, August 5 and Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana on Monday, August 11; both will be at the same time and place as the Mozart. 

Thanks for posting this,

Pam Spencer for the Paul Madore Chorale

Margarita Monday At The Azorean

Posted on by Pat D

We celebrated Margarita Monday at the Azorean on Washington St last week. We can almost always count on running into someone we know there and such was the case last week! It’s one of the reasons we like to go there. I got the house margarita (refreshing) and we ordered dinner: Azorean steak tips were a first for me….won’t be the last…very good! Jim had a seafood cataplana with plent leftover for another meal. The relaxed atmoshere and delicious food makes it one of our favorites. Maybe we’ll see you there next time!
