As always, live music every day!

I saw this guy zipping around the Annisquam River on his Hydrofoil board the other day. He made it look fairly easy although I’m certain there must be quite the learning curve to remain so steady. Hydrofoils deflect the flow of water downwards…which then exerts a force upwards on the board. Once it picks up speed the board then lifts out of the water. Fun to watch….no doubt fun to ride as well.

As always, live music 7 days per week….nine shows in all. See you there!

Schooner Festival, 2024 Parade of Sails. What a beautiful day on the water! What a weekend to live in Gloucester.

Last night, at the Beauport Hotel, another giant check was presented to the Alzheimer’s Association from this year’s Bluefin Blowout. This year’s check was for a staggering $500,000….bringing the total raised by this fantastic event to over $2.2 million since the tournament’s inception. Those who give gather.

Just waiting on some friends. Our own beautiful resident schooners will soon be joined by many others as this year’s Schooner Festival gets underway. One of my favorite scenes of the year is watching the harbor come alive with massive sails, our fishing fleet, pleasure boats, commercial vessels, etc. Watching the boats ebb and flow throughout the harbor is a spectacle not to be missed.

There’s still some summer left! Have you sailed on the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon yet. Time and time again many of us at GMG tell you that a trip on the Lannon is one of our favorite summer activities. I had the chance to take another sail on Wednesday night with friends. Added bonuses were music with Chris + Joe (Chris Langathianos and Joe Wilkins), beautiful weather….and a rainbow.

I caught this cruise ship going past my window last night. I meant to look for it when I headed into town later at night, but forgot. I couldn’t see the name, but it seems larger that the ones that usually come into Gloucester. I hope they are all having a nice trip!

This hummingbird was happily visiting our window box all weekend.

Gone Fishin’.

With all of this these half rainy/half sunny days, rainbows seem to be popping up everywhere. I looked out my window in time to catch this double rainbow the other day. I wish the sky was more blue.

As always, LIVE MUSIC every single day….with two shows on Friday and Saturday. We look forward to seeing you!

As always, live music seven days each week. Nine shows in all!

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.
