Umass surf competition results | the November 2019 winners at #GoodHarborBeach …
I asked the UMASS surf club how the Lake Atlantic Invitational competition fared on November 16, 2019 at Good Harbor Beach. The ocean was rather “lake” in the morning and the air a brisk 22 degrees.
“The competition was a huge success! The waves got better throughout the day, and we had a lot of creativity with crossstepping, handstands, and laying down backwards almost like a coffin.” The final results:
John Lane (3rd place from last year) in first
Colby Kelly (last year’s winner) in second
Juliet Dodson of UMass Surf Club in third
“We’re not sure yet if we’re going to try to do these competitions annually or biannually, but keep an eye out for another competition in April, most likely still somewhere in Gloucester. And yes it was chilly, but most of us are used to that weather having grown up in the area, and even the competitor from California did a good job overcoming the cold with help from a nice winter wetsuit.”

Laura Harrington poses a challenge related to the 19th Amendment|”Perfect 36″ talk hosted by Daring Democracy #RockportMA tonight
Laura asks GMG to share a reminder for tonight and writes:
I’m speaking in Rockport as part of the UU Church’s Daring Democracy series. If you can post about it, I’d be most grateful.
We decided to sing about some unsung heroes – the women who led the fight for the right to vote. This amazing story is not in most history books, and if you can find it in high school text books, please let me know. I’ll be talking about the musical we wrote – PERFECT 36 – about the ratification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote at the UU Church in Rockport on 11/14 @ 7. Please join me. This story – which took place in 1920 – feels a whole lot like 2020 and is more relevant than ever.
