Your Social Calendar for this Weekend

Posted on by God's Morning

This Memorial Day Weekend is so chock full of things to do on Rocky Neck that you’ll need a social secretary.  So here I am, and here’s where you need to be and when: 

Today, Friday, May 25

5:00-6:00 dinner at The Rudder or Madfish Grille for Jordan Ruben’s renowned sushi. 

6:00-9:00 pm, grand opening of Aquatro Gallery, 77 Rocky Neck Ave., Gallery 6.  You remember Gigi Mederos and Stevie Black from last season in G2 – don’t miss their incredible new work and partnership with Grace Edwards and her great jewelry.

Saturday, May 26

5:00-6:00 dinner at The Rudder or Madfish Grille (switch it up from last night)

5:30-9:00 There are a number of Gallery and Exhibit Openings:

Sunday, May 27

9:00-11:00 or so – Mug Up at Khan Studio and the GMG Gallery.  Everyone is welcome – always a good time.  We provide the coffee and deviled eggs.  Bring along something to share (not necessary, but helps create an insane table filled with awesome goodies, which can be healthy and does not have to be dripping with fat and calories).

Simply the Best

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Captain Joe and Sons lobsters are simply the best! From dock to table, you can’t get much fresher than that. Happily so for me, both Liv and Alex are home at the same time for a few days–cooking their favorite dinners and reveling in the joy and laughter that fills our home whenever they are together.

Rose Marine Boat Yard

Went to Rose Marine to take some photos. Chris Rose helped me up on the 10 foot ladder and took some pics around the yard.  Great place to do some picture-taking.

Commercial Fishing: Rome

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Apparently commercial fishing in Rome is alive and well.  In my opinion you can tell how well the boats are doing by how well they are maintained.  These boats are all in good shape and devoid (mostly) of rust so they must be doing alright.

Gloucester At Dawn- 4:54AM 4/30/12 Salvation Star, Providenza and Francesca & Carlo- Railway To Railway

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This shot was taken alongside the Railway at The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center looking out across the harbor to the East Gloucester Marine Railway.

The amount of light in this shot is deceiving because the shutter was left open for a good long time to try to collect as much light as possible to burn in the colors. Obviously this type of shot with such little available light is not possible without the aid of a tripod.

Click the photo to see it larger and the details on the Adventure and boats tied up at The East Gloucester Marine Railway all the way across the harbor.  I like this shot a lot especially considering the very little light available to use.

Seven Seas Whale Watching Report from May 5th and 6th 2012

Posted on by capeannpainter

Seven Seas Whale Watching Report from May 5th and 6th 

From Jay Frontiero;
“After not being out on the water for a few days we were finally able to get off shore and look for some whales again this weekend. Our search took us to the southern edge of Stellwagen Bank… a little over 30 miles from Gloucester… but I think everyone onboard agreed that it was worth the extra time and effort to get there. The whales were spectacular!
On both May 5th and 6th we were treated to fantastic feeding displays from large groups of Humpback Whales.  Many of the whales we sighted were old friends. That is to say they are Humpback Whales that we see return to the Stellwagen Bank/southern Gulf of Maine region to feed nearly every year. We have therefor gotten to many many of these whales quite well and we are always happy to see them return in the spring and know they have made the long migration north from their breeding grounds in the Caribbean safely.
The individual Humpback Whales we were able to identify over the weekend were:

WIZARD  (who has one of the most beautiful tails of any whale)
CAJUN (a favorite whale of MANY whale watchers)
ABRASION and her new calf (our first mother/calf pair of the year!)
IOTA
LAVALIERE
FRACTURE
DIVISION
TUNGUSKA (one of my favorites)
FALCON
SCYLLA’S 2008 CALF (not yet named)
BLACK HOLE
This list will most likely grow as I still have a lot of photos to go through and try and identify.”
