GMG Health and Wellness Week Final Listing From Dr Nicole

Thanks so much GMG for all you do for Cape Ann and for helping us keep our community and it’s FOB’s healthy by sharing our offerings this week! 

The Cape Ann Healing Center is nestled in between Pond Road and the VFW at 222 Arts and Wellness at 222 Eastern Avenue on the way to Rockport.  This magical healing property is comprised of lands between the Wonson-Tarr and Babson family ancestors.  The future of healing is here!

Here’s a blip about some of our upcoming events!

Dogtown Tours are starting again with our incredible Eco-tour Guide Silvie Lockerova.  In addition to healing tours of the USA, Europe, South America and Africa, Silvie leads guided tours of our historical Dogtown, the amazing green space that emcompasses the whole center of the island and its stunning features.
Beginning on October 23rd I will be hosting a donation based silent prayer and meditation hour on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 2:30 pm in our beautiful yoga studio (photo attached).  With eco-friendly cork floors and radiant floor heating, it it is the perfect spot to retreat for meditation and reflection as we enter the darker and colder months.  This is also where the Cape Ann Red Tent Temple for women is hosted monthly.  It is our local chapter of an international women’s movement honoring the collective journey of womanhood.  More information about Red Tent Temple can be found here.

Lastly, I will also be hosting a FREE teleconference in between Thanksgiving and Christmas to help you manage the stress of the holiday season and prepare to meet your wellness goals for 2013.

Please click here or go to CapeAnnHealingCenter.com to sign up for our email list and check or calendar of events so that I can keep you informed of all our great offerings and supply you with valuable information for staying healthy!

Thanks again and happy fall!

Mark Goetemann Looking for a Rig and Sail For a 50’s Montgomery Fish Boat

Hi Joey,
I just picked up a 1950’s Mongomery Fish Boat that I’m going to restore and keep on Rocky Neck but  I need a rig and sail for it. 
Besides Dave Mongomery and the boat yard, do you have any ideas on how I could find one?  Could you broadcast the request some way?
Thanks very much,
Mark

Wedding Vows on Main Street? From Fred Bodin

Fred Bodin writes-

No, the bride and groom are following their photographer to have pictures taken in the beautiful and historic West End, Gloucester last Saturday afternoon. I didn’t recognize anyone. They had a very large white stretch Limo in Palazola’s parking lot, and when they tried to leave, it was too big to turn around. Jack Palazola kindly unlocked the chain on the Main Street side, so they could escape and proceed with their reception and honeymoon. I heard from Brenda Grimes Davis on my FB Page, that she may know the Gloucester couple, and I offered to share the photo with them.

AND YET ANOTHER… From Sharron Cohen

Jerry Ackerman writes

Joey,

Sharron and her husband David spend a lot of time as volunteer caretakers on Thacher Island , living out there for a week at a time, and always on the watch for terrific photo ops. This is yet another. You may know Sharron as the (former) Bookmobile librarian and driver, and David as the putative bluefish king of Folly Cove. Thought that you might want to share this great sweeping sunrise view with GMGers everywhere!

Waldo Howland Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

From Greensboro, North Carolina

September 27, 2012

“If you can’t make what you are doing fun, something is wrong with what you are doing.”

Waldo Howland (1909-1998)

As owners of the Concordia Company of Padanarum, Massachusetts, Howland and designer Ray Hunt created many of the great yachts of the twentieth century including the 39 and 41 foot Concordia yawls, of which more than one hundred were built, and which was considered by many to be the best cruiser ever made. Howland’s autobiographical trilogy, A Life in Boats, gives essential insight into the practice and recent history of American boatbuilding, and also covers his later years as a board member of Mystic Seaport, one of the best collections of historic boats anywhere. Full disclosure: my wife’s niece is married to Waldo Howland’s grandson.

Ardelle Report

Friday report from Mike Dyer aboard the Ardelle… They are lazily making their way down the Chesapeake and are eating like kings! It turns out Harold has some moves in the kitchen and likes to cook. He’s been whipping up pies in his woodstove. Bob Brophy brought all sorts of goose meat and they’ve had goose stew, goose sausage and even goose benedict this morning! For lunch today Harold came up with a goose shepherd’s pie. Mike says this is the calm part of the trip and their making up caloric intake from when they were in rough seas and nobody had time or desire to eat. It was pretty hairy but the Ardelle was solid and he wouldn’t have missed that part of the trip for the world. –Sarah Willwerth-Dyer Photos by Pierre Erhard
