Magnolia Pier closed

Magnolia Pier is closed to the public, until further notice.  Probably too dangerous with the wave and shaking, especially on the float and going up and down the ramp.  The float did not make it, it did not look good earlier,

 

Waves on Tuesday

Considering that Hurricane Teddy was over 350 miles away, the waves were very impressive.

Glad the Magnolia Pier is 2 feet higher.

Parker River Wildlife Refuge

We took a ride up to Parker River Wildlife Refuge in Newburyport on Sunday.

 

What a beauty of a day, the wind was blowing pretty hard the waves were large.  You could actually see the riptides coming in over the sand.  There were many egrets and the views were beautiful.

Roseway sailing by the Breakwater on Saturday

From Patrick Thorpe regarding the Gloucester Rotary

Good Morning Friends of Rotary,

The Gloucester Rotary Club is once again publishing a 12-month Cape Ann photo calendar for 2021 as a fundraiser.  All profits will go to the Gloucester Rotary Club’s many community and international activities.

In Order to publish a beautiful calendar, the Club is requesting high quality digital photos that reflect the amazing communities of Cape Ann throughout the year—photos that reflect what the photographer feels “community” means to him/her, whether it is a person, place or event.  As we will be featuring one photo per month, we need images from each season:  winter, spring, summer and fall.  Photographs from Gloucester, Rockport, Essex and Manchester will be accepted.

For complete contest rules please visit https://gloucesterrotary.org/page/calendar-photos.  Please note that we have extended the contest deadline to Sunday, September 27, 2020.  We appreciate your support and interest in helping us with calendar fundraiser.

Thank  you for your continued support of the Gloucester Rotary Club.

Sincerely,

Patrick Thorpe

Calendar Committee Chairman
