Capt. Gus Sanfilippo will be awarded 3 Gloucester Mariner’s Medals tomorrow Wednesday Sept 23 at 6:30 PM in the City Hall auditorium. These awards recognize 3 separate incidents in which Capt. Sanfilippo came to the aid of those in need on the high seas. One incident involved the Holly & Alexander in 2000; another in 2007 with Virginia Surf as well as in 2011 with the Elizabeth Ann. His daughter Dr. Lily Jean Sanfilippo took the necessary steps to honor her grandfather’s wish that Capt Gus be recognized. As I am sure most are aware, Capt Sanfilippo was lost aboard the Lily Jean last January along with 6 other crew members. It was gratifying to see that this flag in honor of the Lily Jean is still on display on Commercial St at the Fiesta Wall. Our hearts are with all our fishing families.

One recent weekday, we decided to head over to Lobsta Land for dinner. Being stereotypical seniors, we prefer to go on the early side. When we arrived, we were ALMOST deterred by the number of cars in the parking lot but headed in anyhow. It was a nice day and we figured the outdoor deck was probably the draw. We were pleased to be quickly seated in the bar area as we requested. I tried something new for me: teriyaki steak tip kabobs. Jim had the paella. Our meals were served hot and efficiently. They were very tasty and the portions were just right. The bar crowd was lively so the atmosphere was easy-going. All in all, a great experience. I guess the takeaway is don’t be intimidated by the number of cars in the lot! You won’t be sorry.

It is definitely not too late to take advantage of the outstanding whale watching season we have been blessed with this year. I went out with Cape Ann Whale Watch a few days ago along with a number of other (several European visitors on this trip). The waters were a little choppy but the captain and crew did their usual outstanding job of keeping everyone safe and as close to the action as possible. The tuna fleet was out there too so that was kind of fun to watch as well. We saw 7 humpbacks and a number of surface activities such as pec slapping and feeding behaviors. Magical as always. Thanks Cape Ann Whale Watch for another successful trip. They will be taking trips for just another few weeks. This is a highly recommended activity especially if you haven’t gone in a while.
