Hello there,
My family and I vacation in Gloucester every year, and I stumbled upon your blog after seeing your sticker on someone’s backpack last year. I very much enjoy all the posts and it helps me be a little less “homesick” for my favorite vacation destination throughout the rest of the year.
I thought I’d share a few photos from our vacation. We were lucky enough to be on a harbor tour when Nat Geo’s helicopter was filming some Wicked Tuna footage (love that show!) One photo is of the Pin Wheel in front of Stacy Boulevard. I didn’t see the Hard Merchandise that day, but the next morning we saw Hard Merchandise heading over to Cape Pond Ice, so I got a photo of my favorite Tuna Boat. The sunset photo was taken from our Dinner Cruise on the Beauport Princess (which I found out about from your site!) One of the photos is of a cormorant sitting on the “greasy pole”
I hope you enjoy….feel free to post the photos if you like, just give me credit — that’s all I ask.
Thanks for the blog and Facebook page….I enjoy both…
Have a wonderful evening.

Hi, Joe, I hope you can use a photo or two to give a plug to our budding Sea Scouts Ship Five stationed at Maritime Gloucester. We are doing our best to establish our Sea Scout Ship providing seamanship skills, community service and character building for young men and women ages 14 to 21. Any questions you can call Tom Balf at Maritime Gloucester.
Anything you can do to help this great cause is really really appreciated.
Thank you,
William Taylor

I don’t ever remember any amount of leaves in the streets in August.

Hi Joey,
This morning I watched as Homie, with incredible grace and style, came in for a perfect landing on the ball that tops our flagpole. He remained up there for a good ten minutes.
Enjoy!

Cole a mate on the Water Shuttle captained by Capt Pete, found a Black Centurion America Express Credit Card, under the deck at the Studio in Rocky Neck. He did not hesitate and rushed up the gang way, and returned the card to a Studio Employee.
The credit card is is the most exclusive and rare card offered by American Express; it is available by invitation only. Reserved for high end clients, this titanium (not plastic) card guarantees extras such as private jet services, personal concierges, business, savings and much more. The cost of the privilege to use this card is $2,500 a year.
The card was returned to the rightful owner, a prominent Gloucester resident.
Cole, I applaud you on your integrity and instilling my confidence in our young generation.

Last week the 185 ft three-masted schooner Atlantic was anchored for a spell inside the breakwater at Eastern Point. She is a 2010 replica of the schooner that held the monohull transatlantic speed record from 1905 until 1997. In Newport earlier this summer with my friend Jay Irwin, the captain invited us aboard when he learned that Jay had visited the original in 1954, and had met the first mate who sailed the 1905 race. He gave us a grand tour and this photo is one small example of her fit and finish. Atlantic sank at a dock in Norfolk in 1982 and our friend Lane Briggs (founder of the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race) made a number of dives on her in an attempt to raise the old girl, but she was too far gone. He salvaged one of the masts, which was resurrected as a flagpole near downtown Norfolk.

Perfect sailing day out in Gloucester harbor Saturday. Got some photos of the ‘Thomas E. Lannon’ from Al Bezanson’s schooner ‘Green Dragon’. -Len Burgess
I observed that the statue on Our Lady of Good Voyage is in dire need of a new paint job..
A great day to do a little fishing with friends and family.
Good Morning Gloucester
