My View of Life on the Dock
Hye Tyde is the blog from John Hintlian which mostly chronicles his surfing journal but if you look below the surface of all the surfing pictures and surf pictures, his photography is spectacular and he bring a fresh new perspective to your standard photo/journal blog.
John is very creative with his photography and I enjoy perusing his flickr album as much if not more than Hye Tyde. Check out his flickr album and see for yourself.
Doug Cook, collaborator and designer on the GMG Tree project has recently redesigned his website.
I’ve seen what I thought was some creative landscaping, but never before have I seen it done and at the same time have such a stunning visual impact while blending in to the natural surroundings and environs.
So check it out and see some of his incredible work on some of the finest homes on Cape Ann by clicking this link

Helen Parker Textiles is at 67 Broadway, right after the five corners in Rockport, on the right in a red building with painted awnings (on your way towards downtown).
Craig and Jane are the couple who run Commercial-Fishing.org. They stopped down the dock the other day while in town which is always nice. I love it when people that dig GMG stop by to say hi. They were in town for a couple days and then were heading to New Bedford.
It doesn’t look like the weather in New Bedford is going to be very kid to them for the Seafood Festival they are having down there, but I hope they had a good time nonetheless. If you have any interest in commercial fishing you owe it to yourself to check out Craig’s site and get involved. There are forums and a whole slew of things you can check out there.

The second annual Lone Gull 10K is September 21,2008. I’m not a runner but from what I understand because the have such a huge sponsor in Nike, you pay $18 if you register before September 15th or $24 if you register September 15th and later for your entry fee, it entitles you to a $40 Lone Gull 10K technical jersey if you are within the first 350 people to register, and breakfast. That’s a pretty good take my friends!
There is a sign up sheet for race day volunteers at The Lone Gull Coffeehouse in the heart of Downtown Gloucester if you would like to participate in that way.
The course starts and ends at Good Harbor Beach.
Here’s more info from the source-
Come join us for a great run in the historic fishing town of Gloucester, MA. Race along the backshore of Gloucester and enjoy great views of the Atlantic Ocean and Eastern Point. This scenic seaside course has slight rolling hills and is USATF Certified. Donations and registration fees will go towards the Lone Gull 10K Charitable Trust.

I’d never heard of a meme, but I feel pretty honored to be mentioned as one of Robert Ambrogi’s five favorite blogs.

How many people have heard the term meme before? Just curious.
The Schooner Virginia, winner of this weekend’s race is on it’s way to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
On it’s official website they have a tracking device which shows its previous stops and it’s current position.
Click this text to check out the live map
Once you click it because the ship is off the coast it will appear to be in a sea of blue, because it is, but if you scroll out a little you can see it’s position on the map in relation to the US and Canada.
Pretty cool stuff.

Lou and Shirley from Lexington Kentucky talk about their love of The Deadliest Catch, Pratty’s and Gloucester.
Lou and Shirley love the Deadliest Catch Television program. Our friends over at Deadliest Reports ought to love this interview.
I was stumbling around the internet as I normally do with my down time here at the dock and came accross this blog with many pictures of Gloucester Gig Rowers.
It seems the blog is in it’s infancy and if they keep at it a while, I’ll probably add it to the blogroll, but there are some interesting pictures to share about just what gig rowing is all about.
Check it out and get involved. I bet you can find out more information at The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center where the Gigs are docked.
