Whale Watch From Judy B
Hi Joey,
Having been on Cape Ann Whale Watches as a resident in the area, it was fun to hear you discuss the whale watch you went on last weekend. It is always an amazing experience! Every time is different, but always worthwhile. And you are correct – it is not just for tourists.
We had a particularly moving experience on one trip that was quite unique. It was several years after my Dad had passed away, & our kids had adopted a particular whale in his memory. My daughter & I were at the rail & a humpback came up right by that side of the boat. The naturalist onboard identified the whale as Littlespot – the whale the kids had chosen!

But the more surprising part was when the naturalist said that they had not seen this whale in quite a few years! Needless to say, we were blown away & felt that it was my Dad/their Papa saying hello. That’s because of all the places in the vast ocean on thatday, & where we were on that day, that this particular whale was at the same exact spotwhere we were & came up on the exact side of the boat literally right by us. We called my husband & son over, so they could see Littlespot, too. It was wonderful. And the kids were thrilled. How lucky were we?!
Every whale watch is an experience not to be missed.

Jalapenos For An Extra Margarita Monday
We celebrated Margarita Monday at Jalapenos on Main St with a cranberry margarita (very refreshing) as well as Chicken Margarita on the menu. I rarely explore the Jalapeno entrees beyond tacos, fajitas and such but since it was Margarita Monday, it felt destined I should try the Chicken Margarita. Boy, was that a pleasant surprise! Super yummy sauce adorns the chicken breast along with rice and beans. This will not be the last time I order Chicken Margarita! Try it. Jim ordered shrimp tacos and we debated between ourselves the benefits of flour vs corn tortillas. I think we settled on corn for tacos. Anyhow, he ate them all while I brought some of the chicken home. We also ordered the addicting chips and salsa which are now an added charge, but well worth it in our books. Cheers!




Time With A Horse Is Magical!

Trust Cannot Be Forced
Many of us have learned that trust is something we earn through words. Horses teach something different.
Trust is built through consistency.
A horse doesn’t care about impressive titles or confident speeches. They pay attention to whether your actions match your intentions. Every interaction is an opportunity to build—or lose—trust.
When you approach with patience, calm energy, and respect, a horse begins to relax.
That relationship develops one small moment at a time.
The beautiful part is that these same principles strengthen our relationships with people. We discover that genuine trust isn’t created through control. It’s created through honesty, patience, and showing up consistently.
