DOUBLE XXL Technical Jackets Now In The House!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Order here- http://gmg.storenvy.com/

Whenever I order GMG apparel I only order a couple Double XXLs because I never know how many we will move but it never seems to be enough.  Another reason I rarely order them is because the places that sell the gear always charge way more for XXL’s.

But I got some awesome new performance wear from a manufacturer who didn’t upcharge us for the XXL and thought I’d take advantage of it to take care of the many many GMG FOB’s who have been asking me to get some XXL gear.

So I got a bunch of White XXL Dry-Fit Long Sleeve Base Layer GMG Logo Shirts and Some Full and Half Zip GMG Technical Jackets.  The stuff is sick!  I also got some Sm, Lg and XL’s.  They are crazy high quality with vertical chest zip pockets and dry fit technical material.  Total quality, you will be psyched when you see these bad boys.

They are now available in the GMG Store.  Perfect gifts for the GMG/Gloucester Lover in your life!!!

FOB Cindy Rich Is Needles Deep Into Producing My New Sweater!

10/9/13 Update-

Close to the great divide… A few more rows and the body and sleeves will begin to take shape

Lots of stitches on needles now… Adding more every other row to create ‘broad’ shoulders and a ‘manly’ chest!!!

Thanks to Coveted Yarn for sponsoring the yarn!  Did you know Coveted Yarn has moved from East Main Street To The lower level of Shaws Plaza on Eastern Ave.

Cindy writes-

On the needles…  How does cashmere sound??? Charcoal?

Moving right along… Neckband done… Division for back, front and sleeves…

Moving down over the shoulders… Still unrecognizable as a sweater…

Here’s the original offer which Cindy took me up on-

I’d like a lg mens merino wool sweater in the style above minus the Charlie Brown pattern color heather grey or charcoal.  Any knitters up for it?  Your picture on the blog and the yarn shop that wants to donate the yarn will get my time posting about the process.

Here’s where I saw the pattern but you might have a classic crew neck sweater pattern we could look at too.

Harbor Extremes From Bill O’Connor

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,

The wind was whipping from the North through the outer harbor Sunday. Our cove was on the leeward side of the wind so it was relatively calm in the cove, but this shot shows how quickly things can change from one extreme to another on the water.  The distance from the dock in the foreground to the dock on left of the photo [getting hammered by wind & waves] is about the length of a football field.

Enjoy!

2013 Gloucester MA Lobster Trap Tree Being Built

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Bex submits-

All the traps are on loan from local lobstermen.

Volunteers dedicate a weekend to building the tree.

Children paint buoys as “ornaments” to decorate the tree. Buoy Painting is December 14 and the Tree Lighting Ceremony is 4:30 – 5:00 on December 14.

When the tree comes down in January, the buoys are saved and auctioned off as a fundraiser for Cape Ann Art Haven on January 24th @ Gloucester Cruiseport.

Thank you to Awesome Gloucester for awarding Cape Ann Art Haven $1000 towards the Lobster Trap Tree and Buoy Painting Week!

Henry Van Dyke Quote Of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

November 27, 2013

“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.”
Henry Van Dyke (1852 – 1933)

Born in Pennsylvania, Van Dyke was educated at Princeton and Princeton Theological Seminary. He was a lecturer at the University of Paris and later returned to Princeton where he taught English Literature for many years. He was a friend of Woodrow Wilson who appointed him minister to Luxembourg prior to the First World War. Van Dyke helped to write the Presbyterian Book of Common Worship and was a vocal opponent of American Imperialism foretelling that the country would spend more on war preparation than on education. In addition to dozens of poems, essays and stories he wrote numerous hymn lyrics including the words to Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.
