Distant Ship

My View of Life on the Dock
Distant Ship

Things along the river. I’ve always loved going down the Annisquam. There’s always so much to see.

Holy Mola! We had a great day on the water this past weekend with such a great variety of marine life. We saw a few small pods of dolphin, some humpbacks, some minke whales, a grey seal, and this giant mola mola. That’s Joey C. in the background on his awesome zodiac ….that looks dwarfed by the size of the fish. Other friends who were out on a boat near us also so a huge turtle. It definitely makes you wonder what else is out there that you miss seeing while looking in the other direction. My son saw a white shark breach high out of the water the other day while out on a fishing trip and also, sadly, saw a deceased humpback floating.

Live music seven nights per week….9 shows in all. Come on over!

The Boo Bird’s Sweet & Crunchy Burger with Burrata, Fig Jam, and Arugula was unbelievable! Head to Manchester and give it a try!

Here’s this week’s music schedule at the Rhumb Line! Live music 7 days per week….9 shows in all. Something for everyone!

This week looks a little bit different with our giant Horribles Parade cookout tonight and a day off tomorrow. Come watch the parade with us, stay for the Satch Kerans Band and guests immediately after the parade….and then join us for our typically scheduled early shows and late shows on Friday + Saturday. You can also end your holiday weekend with us with live music at 6:00 on Sunday.

Flight.

Congratulations (again), Derek Hopkins! Sunday Greasy Pole Champion 2024!







More photos of Tyler Parisi, now known as Saturday’s Greasy Pole Champion. What will today bring?




















Oh, look, a flag. Hold my beer. Congratulations to Tyler Parisi, Saturday’s 2024 Greasy Pole Champion!

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.
