Two Franks

The guys are always working super hard down at Captain Joe and Sons so its’ great to see a lighthearted moment.

Frankie Ciaramitaro and Frank Ciolino share a laugh.

Have you treated yourself and your family to a lobster feast recently? Why not–it’s so inexpensive? The price and quality of lobsters from Captian Joe’s is UNBEATABLE–only $5. per pound!!! My daughter Liv and I were eating them “by the twos” when she visited recently!

What are you waiting for-the price to return to normal?

Gloucester Gig Rowers get a new Gig! From Rick Isaacs

Hi Joey,

Gloucester Gig Rowers held our christening and launching party on Sunday evening, 8 Jul for our new 32′ Cornish Pilot Gig, custom-built for us by the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s Champlain Longboats School  http://www.lcmm.org/education/champlain_longboats.htm .  Here are a few pictures of our party party to celebrate the arrival of our new boat, and christen her.  She can be seen moored at the Harriet Webster Pier at Gloucester Maritime, on Harbor Loop.

The boat’s name is the "Annie B", and one picture shows Annie Banks, her namesake and one of the chief founders of Gloucester Gig Rowers, breaking the traditional bottle of champaign over her bow.

Sorry this took a while – I needed to secure the club’s approval for all of these mug shots to be published before sending this.  We would be grateful for any coverage which you could provide us!

All best,

Rick Isaacs

Did You Know? (Capt. Joe & Sons)

Everyone who reads Good Morning Gloucester knows Joey C., but not everyone knows the Joey C. of Capt. Joe & Sons, and even less people know his cousin and partner, Frankie.  So here are a couple of shots of the guys hard at work grading and counting incoming lobsters.  Below that is a shot of “the dock” from the side.  Also, here are two shots of the approach to Capt. Joe & Sons at 95 E. Main Street from both directions.  Many people tell me they don’t know where the dock is or how to find Joey, or that he sells lobsters.  Now no one can say they don’t know.

The Golden Hour

The Golden Hour

from; digital photography review

“The “hour” part of the golden hour is a misnomer. The length of time depends on how long the sun plays on the horizon. That changes by the time of the year and the latitude. Near the equator, the golden hour lasts but a few minutes as the sun moves relatively quickly. Closer to the poles, the golden hour can last for hours.

The quality of the light during the golden hour can be dramatically different from what comes before and after. The difference in time can be just a few brief minutes, so be prepared.”
