Happy Birthday Bobby Viau!!!
Hey Joey,
I called Frank the other day to say many THANKS. We had our annual Labor Day family party at my mom’s in Scituate with the old fashion parade (awesome) and the whole deal. I summered there as a kid. Bob borrowed two turkey fryers from his brother and set up the whole deal to cook them up. We had corn, chowder and your fantastic Lobsters. Everyone was raving and begging for seconds. Only the select few, HA got seconds. Bob of course got seconds being he did the heavy work and is 60 TODAY!!! The others had to settle for a hotdog. There were several folks there including Bob that can get every inch of everything a lobster has to the bare shell! My family is big on Lobster and my brother came up to me and said it was the best lobster he’s had in 20 years. It was a great day. Frankie and you took good care of the family!
Best, Deej Viau

Notice To Kayakers From Crescent52
Hi Joey
do you think you could post this?
Kayaking is a great sport, and a wonderfully graceful way to enjoy the outdoors. I notice many paddlers I see on Cape Ann hold the paddle upside down. To get the most power, and best aerodynamic response the straighter side of the blade should be on top (better approach for wind) and the curved part of the blade should be on the bottom- allowing more power to sweep through the water.
The attached photo is a good straight on view of the way to hold a paddle.
Enjoy the water!

Ina Shop In Magnolia Follow Up From Elinor Ina Bowes and Alfred Ina
I am writing in response to a message from a gal who shopped at the Ina’s in Magnolia. I am one of the daughters, Elinor, and happy to say that my mother, Mrs. Ina is still alive and living in Florida and we will celebrate her 100th birthday in January, God willing. She lives with my brother Al and she is amazing, she still loves to cook and enjoys having family visit.
Thanks, happy to know someone is still remembering the beautiful shops my mom owned.
Elinor Ina Bowes (Ellie)
Elinor forwards this, the only photo she has from the Ina’s
Alfred Ina comments-
My mom, Mahiba Ina came to this country in 1933 from Lebanon as a new bride.My mom & dad had stores in Palm Beach in the winter & Magnolia in the summer. When my father died in 1943, the family spent the winters in Jacksonville and when we started high school we moved to Magnolia year round. Being the only store in Magnolia during the winter was a challenge but she had her mind made up to work hard and succeed in which she did. She loved her shop and her dear customers who she still talks about and she always say that she misses them so. We love West Palm Beach but Magnolia will always be in our blood. Magnolia in those days was like a piece of Heaven on Earth. It breaks my heart to see whats left of Magnolia and how it is neglected. My mom sends all her love to all of you and thanks you for remember her. You all made her day so special and I thank you all.

To Whomever Spray-Painted Graffiti On My Fence At 25 Addison St Between 9PM and 3AM Friday Night From Kathleen at Big Mike’s Bikes
To Whomever Spray-Painted Graffiti On My Fence At 25 Addison St Between 9PM and 3AM Friday Night:
We need to fund arts in education more. Clearly. Because neither I, nor the officer who so nicely came out to look at it, nor my neighbors can figure out what the hell you drew here. Sclop? Solop? Is that an E? A hat? A mushroom? Any one of those are the worst fake gang names ever. Sclop Hat. Yeah, that guy’s hardcore. We don’t mess with Sclop Hat ’round these parts.
I feel bad for you because on a Friday night, you didn’t have anything better to do than spray paint my fence. You couldn’t even get invited to a house party? On Labor day weekend? This is probably because no one likes you maybe because you smell or have a visible rash. Now I have to spend my day off trying to figure out how to get your shoddy, crapass drawing off my fence. I’d have at least been less pissed about it if it was well-done, but you’re no Banksy. I can point you towards Art Haven if you want to improve your artistic talent in the future.
This is why we can’t have nice things. At least you didn’t steal my bike, I guess.
You suck,

Bring Back The Old School Beach Chair
It’s been a crazy summer down the dock. Most days we are on our feet for 95% of the time from 4:45AM to 6PM. Whenever I can get off my feet I grab this old chair I found that someone tossed out at the Good Harbor Footbridge and plunk down for 5 minutes or so.
These old school beach chairs are super light and sturdy unlike many of the newer styles they make today. I’m a fan. Thank you to whoever tossed this one. It has "somewhat" saved my legs this summer.

Community Blogging 2012 Schooner Festival
Well from the numbers I’m seeing around town and on the water I’d say that Al Bezanson and my monthlong push to make people aware of the Schooner Festival had a bit of an impact on those regular folks outside of the regular Schooner circles showing up.
Nice work Al!

The Bounty leaving Gloucester From Christopher Lewis
Joey:
You may like these two photos of HMS Bounty leaving Gloucester on Monday morning. They show how large this schooner is. In the first photo you can compare the Bounty to the "Tuscan House" on Rocky Neck. The second photo compares Bounty with a foreground of small boats and a background of the Boulevard – a truly remarkable sight.
Take care — Christopher
