I mean, really. What a beautiful event to grace our harbor. Much thanks to all of the volunteers, organizers, captains and crews, officials, etc who make this happen.

Myopia Polo

Posted on by Nichole S.

I had a really nice afternoon at Myopia yesterday for the Governor’s Cup. It really is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Polo takes place Sunday at 3:00 until October 3rd.

Such a Gem

Posted on by Nichole S.

Governor’s Park is such a little gem in this beautiful city. Although, I happened to notice tonight that the sign may be misspelled. The expansive view lessens during the summer months when the trees are full and in bloom, but the park is extra beautiful. In the “off season” things aren’t so lush and pretty, but the view expands! So, either way it is a gorgeous spot to sit for a bit. Click on the post to see the view.

1606 Oyster Bar

A couple of friends and I had some fun with AC at the Beauport’s new bar in the 1606 Restaurant. Check out the restaurant and bar here: https://1606restaurant.com/ If you’re lucky enough to be there while AC is behind the bar you’re in for a treat.

North and South

While going by Thacher Island the other day I took some quick photos that demonstrate how its twin lighthouses line up to show due north and due south. You can see that, when heading exactly north or south, the lighthouses line up so that one is no longer visible.

Shrimp From Turner’s Seafood

Posted on by Nichole S.

We chartered an evening boat cruise last week on the Lady Jillian with Cape Ann Harbor Tours (ALWAYS a great night!) and I picked up some delicious shrimp from Turner’s to share onboard. It was definitely a hit.

City View

We spent the night in Boston on Sunday after going to the Zac Brown Band Concert at Fenway Park. We had lunch at The Salty Dog, checked into the Bostonian Hotel, went to Cisco Brewery in the Seaport, and then took an Uber over to Kenmore Square for the show. Here is the view that greeted us upon arriving back to our room late at night.

How’s the Water, Gullfriend?

Posted on by Nichole S.

While I’d prefer it be a beach day, I always kind of get a kick out of how happy the seagulls are to have the beach to themselves when the weather keeps everyone else at home. See them all lined up at the water’s edge?
