The wall of Fiesta Fame. If you haven’t taken time to check out the Greasy Pole tribute you really should do so.

As always, live music 7 days per week. Nine shows in all!

Harbor sunset on a beautiful night. Thankful for friends who invite me out to enjoy moments like these.

Not your average ocean and harbor views today on my way to work. Very limited visibility.

My son was fishing on the boulevard the other night and I was happy to watch the boat traffic, dog walkers, bikers, and families enjoy themselves.

Music seven days per week….TEN shows in all this week!

What a venue for graduation! If there’s a more iconic spot for a High School Graduation….along the river, facing Gloucester Harbor…I don’t know of it. My parents both graduated from Gloucester High School, but I grew up in Middleton until 7th grade and then moved to Hamilton. I graduated from Hamilton/Wenham and then later, after college, moved to Rockport then Gloucester. My boys went to the private school where I work….and then Thatcher attended Middle School in Rockport. He now goes to Essex Tech…a phenomenal school. So, first the very first time, I have a child at Gloucester High School. Finn is only a Freshman (and is loving it) and I didn’t attend Graduation, but I know some phenomenal students who graduated this year and was happy to snap this photo while driving past. Congratulations to GHS, Class of 2024!

This week at the Rhumb Line. Live music 7 days per week….nine shows in all. Come on over for one or them all.

Goodnight, Nicole Leigh.

As always, music 7 days per week…. 9 shows in all. Come try a Fred Burger, nachos, a Rib Eye, the French Onion Soup….or something else off our menu. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Make Way For Ducklings. We saw this cute little family in the harbor on Sunday. Fingers crossed they all make it. There are lots of perils for these little ducklings unfortunately. Mama was doing a great job keeping them all together!

I was fortunate enough to take a boat ride around “the Cape” with GMG’s ,Chris Langathianos, on his awesome Zodiac the other day. (click for video) It was just choppy enough going around the outside…and along the back shore… to make it exciting….then super flat once rounding Halibut Point. We stopped to see the seals off of Rockport and then, as hoped, stumbled upon three or four humpback whales uncommonly close to land. With a ton of bait fish present on the surface, it was no wonder the whales had found their way inside the bay. It was a phenomenal afternoon and another reminder, after a dreary start to our spring, that we are indeed so lucky to live on Cape Ann. Thanks, Chris!

Here is this week’s live music schedule at the Rhumb Line. As always, live music 7 days per week….nine shows in all.

I am so excited to be attending the http://www.sheslocal.org/north-shore #furthertogether2024 North Shore Conference for Women today. The conference is about to start and it is undeniable that a tremendous group of women have gathered today to support each other, share, grow, learn, inspire, be inspired, and celebrate their unique selves and the power of the collective whole.

As always, music seven days per week…with two shows on Fridays and Saturdays. Come for one show….or come for them all. Kitchen open and drinks pouring.

The Lannon to the left and the Ardelle to the right. I love watching Gloucester Harbor.

Birds of a Feather. 110. Yes, I took the time to count because it seemed like an unusually large group of birds flying in mini formations together. I counted 110.

I think there should be a children’s movie (maybe there is?) like Cars, but about boats. I was sitting at the Blue Collar the other day and totally envisioned the boats in their slips cheering the Seaweed on as it returned home. Personification. Each time I look at this photo, I hear the boats talking. Maybe I’m just tired.

Punch Buggy Blue heading to hit the waves.

Come for one show or come for them all!
