My View of Life on the Dock
The Fish Tacos and Haddock sandwich at Cape Ann Brewing are both great. They have this in house made spicy sauce that I put on which really kicks up the heat nicely!
The deck overlooking the working waterfront is gonna be rocking this summer, check it out!

Hey Joey, Brad Byrd here… just wanted to catch up w/u (hopefully you’ll see this email) and say thanks for coming out to Lat 43 on St Patty’s Day and being a part of the video shoot. The video is almost finished and I’m excited to show you and Gloucester/Cape Ann. I also wanted to personally thank you for including/featuring me in your GMG blogs over the last couple months or so. Congrats again on all the blogs success!
That said, I wanted to let you and your readers know that we will be doing another video for another song off my new album on May 5th at Lat 43 again. This time w/my full band. It’s going to be a big night. I’m also playing every Thursday night from 8-11pm at Giuseppe’s solo for the month of April.

This www.gloucesterwebcam.com local webcam portal project was an idea I had last year to have as many webcams streaming from local businesses or organizations as possible which highlight the incredible vistas that we as people that live and work here get to enjoy each and every day.
The idea was to have the organization install the webcam, have them embed the webcam feed on their own websites as well and have a link to each business website on the Gloucester webcam portal website to showcase their business as well.
Tim Blakeley from Gloucester Bytes provided the initial installation at ridiculously cheap cost because he believed in the project.

You should know that I tried to get Kim Smith to sing Happy Birthday like Marilyn Monroe to JFK for you but the scheduling didn’t work out.
So congrats on another year and thank you for inspiring all of us through your incredible photography and poetry.
It’s an honor to have you on the team!
Thanks Fred for hosting the GMG Spring Fling at Bodin Historic Photo. It was fantastic.
Fred is the host with the most. When in town be sure to swing by Bodin Historic Photo and say hey to the big man!

The Cape Ann Farmers’ Market (CAFM) would like to thank everyone who has made our Backyard Growers Program (BYG) such a success. BYG is full for this growing season! Together, we have worked toward BYG’s vision of using backyard gardens as a way for low- to moderate-income residents to meet some of their food needs, improve environmental conditions in neighborhoods, and build community within diverse populations.
More than a traditional farmers’ market with a single focus, CAFM is a comprehensive program that aims to impact multiple points of the local food system. One of our strategies is to create a network of backyard gardeners who are providing for themselves while “greening” urban areas of Gloucester. Participants’ survey results from the past two years indicate that having a backyard garden increased the quantity of fresh vegetables their family ate, saved money on their grocery bills, inspired healthier meal planning, increased outdoor family time, and increased positive interactions with their neighbors. BYG has provided concrete examples of how families can maximize small spaces to grow food and improve the environment in their own neighborhoods.
We have come so far in just a few years—serving 8 participants in our 2010 pilot program to serving 60 participants in 2012. This growth is thanks to our wide network of community partnerships. Thank you to The Food Project staff, J Harrison, Alison Woitunski, and Christian Appel; Food Corps/City Sprouts staff; and the youth D.I.R.T. Crew for partnering with BYG to provide raised bed gardens, logistical support and labor, and garden training.
Entering our second year with The Open Door Garden Project, we thank Julie LaFontaine and all of The Open Door staff for our dynamic evolving partnership and for sharing their space with us for our training program. Thank you to Steve Winslow from Get Fit Gloucester!, Mark Cole from the DPW, and Ann-Marie Jordan from the Gloucester District Schools for helping us with program support and outreach.
Thank you to all of the local businesses that have donated to our program, including Brick Ends Farm, Timberline Enterprises, Wolf Hill Home & Garden, Neptune’s Harvest, Goose Cove Gardens, and Alchemy, and to our funders, Bruce J. Anderson Foundation, Clif Bar Family Foundation, New England Grassroots Foundation, and TD Charitable Foundation.
BYG would not be able to serve our growing number of participants without the support of our volunteer garden mentors, who provide support during the training and growing season. Thank you to Lourdes Bilbao, Grace Cherubino, Maura Cronin, Susie Field, Frances Fitch, Molly Norton, Heather & Rick Fraelick, Keats Gallagher, Suzanne Gosselin, Nome Graham, Patty Knaggs, Susan Nellis, Sarah Rubin, Mern Sibley, Erin Taylor, Susan Wood, Wendy Banks, Jan Klein, Dan DeLouise, and Donna Caselden.
Thank you Gloucester—and don’t forget to plant your peas this weekend!

Thank you volunteers!
Thanks to an overwhelming turn out last Saturday, we have sanded and prepped both the race dories and practice dories. Now we are ready to launch the 2 practice dories to help alleviate early morning waiting at the dock. We are looking for some volunteers this Saturday, April 7th to help with the launch. We will meet at Eastern Ave Self Storage at 8:30 AM to help load up (if you have a trailer hitch or an empty trailer we really need your help!). Then we will launch at the High School landing shortly after. We need a few volunteers to bring their oars, seats, etc. to row the boats over to the docks as well. All should be done by 10AM with many hands doing light work.
Please let me know if you can tow or row.
Thanks,
Erik Dombrowski

On World Water Day, March 22nd, Rockport Early Act students walked a mile (from Rockport Elementary School to the Y Rockport Teen Center) with water on their heads. They raised over $800 to benefit orphans at Village2Village Project in Uganda!
You need to know that value is no value if a meal you get served weighs 5 lbs but has the taste of show leather.
in the case of the roasted pork burrito at Tacos Lupita you get it all. Great portion, Bazowie Wowie packed with flavor, and all for $5.50.
Boom! No Brainer!!!!!!
Hi Joey,

You See This Is what I’m talking about . This might be the greatest honeymoon album of all time! Way To Go Carls!!!!!!
This show mark my words will be the best thing for Gloucester since The Perfect Storm. If you’ve been under a rock and haven’t heard about it, set your DVR and watch it. This show is a winner.
