Gloucester is being invaded today by the Cruise ship Eurodam and her passengers.
There alot of Happy passengers walking around town and waiting for the Cape Ann Shuttle Buses. Hopefully they’ll Shuttle them down To The Kahn/GMG Gallery on Rocky Neck.
Here are some photos of the Eurodam and her shuttle/life boat pods in Gloucester Harbor.

Mr. Paul Morrison informed me I wasn’t the only one up at 5:57am Saturday 09/10/11
Hmm!’ 9 /10/ 11? Does that have any meaning on the Mayan Calendar?
I was parked on Nautilus Rd. taking pictures of this beautiful show
(which there are so many on this island)
And drawing an “Art, Rock!”
Mr. Morrison was on the other side of the Island on Andrews point taking pictures and probably trying to catch some more of his Wifes deliscious Bluefish Pate’ with his trusted companion R Duck.
I don’t know who’s crazier, Me with my Rocks or Mr. Morrison with his Rubber Duck.
Here are the Photos we took within a minute of each other that morning.

2010 Parade of Sails Video The Thomas E. Lannon Leads the way
I never knew what one was until I viewed this video. I always thought it was probably one of the small sails on a Schooner. You learn something new everyday.
From the Youtube Description;
“What’s a windlass? The students from Cape Ann TV’s After-the-Beach Video Club visited the Gloucester Schooner Adventure on Tuesday, July 12, where some of the crew from the Schooner Adventure gave the students a tour of this historic sailing vessel, which is docked at the Marine Railway on Rocky Neck in Gloucester. Watch this short clip to find out about the ship’s newly restored windlass.”

Hurricane Earl Tried to ruin last years Schooner Festival, but was unsuccessful.
The Day of the Parade of Sails was a beautiful, breezy Day.
Here are some Photos from The 2010 Gloucester Schooner Festival.
