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
