Signs at Good Harbor Beach
Friday June 4 was a beach day for some. It was a beautiful day but only a few enjoyed it.
As I entered the parking lot, and was greeted by Mark Haverland, I noticed how many signs were posted, around that little booth.
The beach was not crowded, but the life guard was watching every person who ventured towards the water.
I also met a family from Concord, with their college aged daughters, I think the father was taking a break from tuition, and two women from Canada, Petra, and Ruth. It is always interesting to talk to people and why they come to Gloucester, the response is always because they LOVE IT. We are lucky!

The ride along the back-shore is smoother, because of the hard work, on a foggy, and a Canadian smoke-filled day.

An immigrant boy makes Gloucester his home again
March 23rd 1954, this immigrant boy arrived in Gloucester, and made it his home.
Fourteen years later he crossed the bridge and created a new life. Forty Years later he returned to make Gloucester his home again. His parents made many sacrifices to allow him that choice, just like many parents in Gloucester’s history did for their children.
On this anniversary of our arrival, thank you Mom and Dad (Anibal and Adelina Simoes)
This story has been repeated many times, and I would love to hear more in the comments.

Silver King Lodge (Costa Rica)
I had the opportunity to visit and take photographs of the guests and their catches.
Silver King Lodge in Costa Rica, is owned by Larry Costa, and Operated by Roseanne (Ercolani) Cody from Gloucester.
It is located on the mouth of the Rio Colorado, minutes away form the best Tarpon fishing . Each day I would go out in a photo boat with an experience guide, and rush to each catch, and capture the event. At then end of stay the guests received a CD with their photos. Each night I would set up my computer, and run a slide show of the catches of the day, in the bar. |What an experience!

13th Green Correction [Motel Roof]
GMG subscriber from Indiana indicated it was not the 13th Green but the 3rd green.
To keep up the high standards of GoodMorningGloucester, please accept my apologies. Play slideshow
I am including a slide show with additional photos. Tracey the owner even had insurance adjusters waiting to help her get things back in shape for the summer season. All the rooms were checked to ensure no further damage occurred. The major issue was the rubber roof aloft onto the gold course. The air-conditioners were in bad shape on the roof. I am also including some photos from trees that came down further down on Atlantic Rd. Hopefully everyone is back on-line with electricity, and ready for the next burst of weather coming our way.
“THIRD GREEN” from Indiana
