My View of Life on the Dock
The Family was honored to sail on the 14th Birthday Sail aboard the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon last night on her 14th Birthday. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- There is no more beautiful boat in Gloucester Harbor and going on an afternoon sail is a MUST DO activity for anyone- tourist or resident alike.
Do yourself a favor and book a sail here- Schooner.org
This will be a family collaboration post as The Bean and Snoop Maddie Mad both helped take pictures for the entry-

St. Peter’s Fiesta is Gloucester, Massachusetts’ longtime early summer tradition that keeps the city in the grips of anticipation for 11 months of the year as it awaits the gala celebration that honors the patron saint of its heritage, St. Peter. Sam Hartson’s brand new documentary “This Is Fiesta” offers a glimpse at the Italian festival that the residents of America’s oldest fishing port hold so dear.

The reports and photos will allow GoodMorningGloucester viewers to follow the garden’s progress with a weekly answer to the question, “What’s New in Jenna’s Garden?”
By Jenna Howard
Week One:
"Three continuous days of rain followed by lots of sunshine proved very beneficial to the Burnham’s Field Community Garden! I was surprised to find that some of our plants had doubled in size in just a few days. We even had to harvest our first batches of kale and spinach because they were shading some of the smaller plants! And we noticed that something seems to be eating the radishes.

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Another milestone, more Good Morning Gloucester views yesterday than Gloucester residents- 29,072 views vs 2010 Gloucester population 28,789* source wikipedia census data
I consider it a substantial number especially when considering that those census numbers include babies and older adults who don’t even own a computer. Keep up the great work team!

Joey: Here’s my friend Liz Casey on her 60th birthday having fun at Good Harbor Beach. The lifeguards were wonderful. They transported her from her wheelchair to the beach chair and then Liz and her friends were off. This is what Liz (who has MS) wanted most for her birthday and Gloucester gave it to her! Thank you Gloucester.

The popular Downtown Gloucester Block Party series begins July 16 when Main Street transforms into a mall packed with entertainment, dancing, art and craftworks and assorted vendors. Diverse restaurants offer dining al fresco and food to go. The series celebrates Gloucester the third Saturday of each month, July through September.
The Block Party Committee is pleased to announce Valerie Marcley as the Artistic Director and Coordinator. Cape Ann’s Marcley produces New England’s only Fringe performance festival, the Seacoast Fringe Festival in Portsmouth, NH, and is a board member of the Manchineel Chutney Theatre. She worked in concert production with Boston jazz legend Fred Taylor; at the Opera House Theater, Stonington, Main; the USVI Theater of St. John and at WFNX-FM and WBZ-AM, Boston.
Marcley is indebted to the hard-working team that created the summer series three years ago. “Without their expertise, enthusiasm and dedication, we wouldn’t have such a dazzling and fun event as the Gloucester Block Party! It’s clear that they are avital spark to the future of our unique downtown. These folks had an ideal vision that continues for Gloucester.
“We are currently seeking performers, vendors and volunteers to help us have some ‘wicked fun’!’” Those who wish to take part in the event, please contact Val at: glostablockpahty@yahoo.com .
“The Downtown Gloucester Block Party is an opportunity for our restaurants and businesses to be creative and strut their stuff,” states Marcley. “We urge participants to get imaginative with specials, contests and eye-catching displays to showcase their businesses and entice clientele.
Each Downtown Gloucester Block Party starts at 6 pm July 16, August 20 and September 17 and is free of charge. Rain dates will be the following Sunday.
