Please help save the Gloucester High School Cabinet Design Program! The cabinet design program at GHS is more than a class – it’s a pathway to careers, college, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, and real-world success! The students learn woodworking and craftsmanship, CAD Design and Engineering principles, CNC programming and manufacturing technology, problem-solving, teamwork, employability skills, and industry-recognized skills that lead directly to careers! This program has inspired students and developed essential life-long, real-world skills for decades. It has given students a place to thrive and learn and grow. To lose such a valued and cherished program would be beyond a shame….it would be a giant disservice to a large, diverse, and important population of students. Please read the flyer below and help in any way that you can. Tuesday, June 9th. City Council Meeting. Show Up, Speak Out. Help Save the Cabinet Design Program.

Live music seven days each week. Nine shows in all. See you there!

Googans Galley in Essex made a perfect little Charcuterie Box for me yesterday. I typically stop by once each week for coffee and a pastry in the morning and also love their quiche and sandwiches. Click on the link below to see their cafe menu, their bakery items, and also their catering menu. Their gift area is also full of really great items!

Lucas has been bartending at 51 Rocky Neck for a handful of seasons now and was as polite, attentive, and accommodating as ever last night as 51 Rocky Neck opened for the season. As the evening wound down we watched as he patiently made several Irish Coffees with the most delicious thick foam on top….and enjoyed the results of his labor. So delicious! Nice to be back on “the Neck.”

Open Jam is back tonight hosted by Joe Cardoza and Dennis Monagle! And, live music every other night as well! See you there.

Live music seven days per week at this iconic music scene staple in Gloucester. Nine shows in all…..see you there!

I had the most amazing day on the Hurricane II with Cape Ann Whale Watch on Saturday. I have spent more hours out watching whales than I could ever count and Saturday was, without a doubt, the most activity I have ever observed. There was constant feeding in every direction, whales breaching in the distance, and blows nonstop. This is the best time to book a trip as the whales have just returned from their winter breeding grounds and are starving because they don’t eat in their southern homes. They feed frequently and that provides such amazing opportunities for seeing some pretty exciting behaviors! Hurry up and book a trip! The captain, crew, naturalists, and interns would love to have you on board to share their passion for marine life with you!




































I stopped and watched some surfers enjoying Good Harbor Beach on Sunday during a late morning walk. On Saturday I was lucky enough to watch tons of whales off the other side of Thacher’s Island thanks to a phenomenal trip with Cape Ann Whale Watch. That post will be coming soon. So lucky to live on the ocean!

The season has started and the fishing is getting great. Check out the Yankee Fleet’s fishing schedule and book your trip now. If you’re lucky you might get to spend your day with this kid too. I might be a little biased. Find them at yankeefleet.com or 978-283-0313

We closed out a full weekend with a really delicious dinner at 525 in Magnolia. A perfect burger with the very best toasted buttery bun and some avocado and Root Beer Steak Tips. You can check out the menu here at the link below and also plan on going to enjoy some outdoor seating as the weather finally gets nicer. Highly recommend!


It hopefully isn’t lost on anyone how blessed we are to live where we live! One of the possibly unsung heroes of our area is Halibut Point State Park. I took a beautiful walk there yesterday and look forward to going again.

Here’s this week’s live music schedule for this week.

Two very qualified guys would love to line up a few clients and help get some boats ready for the season. They are offering shrink wrap removal, full detailing, fueling, delivery, etc. Ryan is an engineering student at Endicott College, a mechanic, a commercial bass fisherman, and a boat owner with the necessary boating licenses. Thatcher, likewise, holds a Massachusetts Boating Safety Certificate and USCG Auxilliary Boat America Course Certificate…..as well as his STCW from the Maritime Professional Training Center in Fort Lauderdale. He has been working on boats since he was 14 and is home for a short stint in between 1st Mate jobs on Westport Yachts. He is sitting for his 100-ton license in May. Give them a call to discuss your needs.
