If you’re a boater in Gloucester you’ve seen this guy.

He may have logged more hours on his boat than anyone else. Rumor has it that he bought this boat new back in the 60s and has been through 3-4 motors. You can catch him cruising Gloucester Harbor or the River on any given day.

LEGEND.

Hazy end of day

After my shift at Gloucester’s Welcoming Center, drove to Magnolia Landing to enjoy the end of the day.  The sun was there somewhere under the hazy skies.

The Paint Factory isn’t looking so good.

It’s too bad that the guy that proposed to make a residence out of the place and maintain the exterior exactly the way it is wasn’t allowed to. Otherwise instead of deteriorating like this, it could have been preserved for all of us to enjoy and payed for with private dollars.

The obstructionists that got in the way can rejoice in another project they stymied.

Hooray!

Striper Fishing

While the 2025 Commercial Striped Bass Fishery was closed as of August, 6th the number of boats in a consolidated little area off the back shore was indicative of a pretty good bite just a few short days before it closed.

Shout-Out To Pauline’s Gifts!

We were pleased to be gifted this lovely personalized hanging plaque designed by our very own Pauline of Pauline’s Gifts on Essex Ave. Many of you know Jim and I recently celebrated our anniversary and we held a little party to celebrate. Many friends and family members joined us including my thoughtful brother and sister-in-law (Hail Chris and Lori). They are the ones that contacted Pauline’s and consulted with her about designing a perfect personalized gift which now proudly hangs at our home. Pauline hit all the marks featuring the Schooner Ardelle, our twin lighthouses and more on a slate tile. This photo doesn’t do it justice but if you need a special gift, contact Pauline for ideas and input. Her website link is here and you can find her on Facebook/Instagram as well. Thank you Pauline, Chris, Lori and everyone who took time to wish us well.
