My View of Life on the Dock
While in New York recently I checked out a fruit and vegetable cart at 93rd and 2cnd. Got to speak with a few other people at the cart too. Overall pretty grumpy crowd of former football and baseball fans… Even though they decided I was not to be liked, I was allowed to represent GMG!
Hi Joey-
Yesterday, when we returned from our morning row, we saw two (very nice) workers who are in the process of inspecting the integrity of the docks in our Harbor.
Looking up, we also saw our (always nice) Harbormaster, Jim Caulkett.
Smiles all around-a great way to start the day!

A great window display! Walk by 15 Washington Street in Gloucester for a great Fall scene. The window display is better than the pictures but I admit got caught in a “Peter Pan” moment seeing the boy floating…
Happy Fall!

On Saturday October 12,2013 a dedication ceremony was held at Maritime Gloucester 23 Harbor Loop to dedicate the beautiful Compass Rose that was installed over the summer. The Compass Rose was donated by Matthew Collins. The artist was Mark Read. They both spoke as well as Tom Balf Executive Director of Maritime Gloucester, state and city officials. A reception was held following the ceremony. Music was provided by Michael O’Leary and friends. A good time was had by all. The event was well attended.
Hi Joey-
I wanted to let everyone know that the installation of the Compass Rose sculpture (pictured here with the Sculptor himself, Mark Read) is complete. It is located at the front of Maritime Gloucester and is a beautiful sight to behold, especially at night when it is lit!

The Hornets played the Lynnfield Pioneers to a 0-0 tie at Hyland Field in Manchester Monday October 14, 2013. Lots of chances with one incredible shot bouncing off the crossbar, the ground and a few other things but not getting in the net!
Nice view Sunday morning from the harbor.

It was a magical night at Fenway last night!! Sox with walk off win…The place went nuts!
In the Village at West Gloucester most units are sold with much of the construction winding down. Turkeys and deer apparently now feel comfortable returning. Saturday morning behind a unit on Curlew Court a young deer and a turkey were looking for their own space.

The view over Winthrop Field towards the farm in Manchester has been taken many times, but does not get old, at least not for me. In Essex I sat waiting in the Marsh across from Farnham’s for hours to catch the Egret in flight.. Well, actually I picked up Chowda and walked across the street and there he was, ready to take off! Sometimes you just get lucky! Click on images for larger view.
Hi Joey,
Love Marty Luster’s video of the Roseway having her masts re-installed. Here are a few still shots.
Always an adventure at Gloucester Marine Railway!

Hi Joey-
While out walking today I was struck by the beauty of the Sage Floral Studio store front. People should check out their new location at 274 Main Street, Gloucester for unique gifts and flower arrangements. As you can see by my photos, the shop is gorgeous inside and out!

Imagination Station transforms popsicle sticks in artwork to support SAILS!
When the upcoming 5th graders visited O’Maley last spring to learn about the SAILS program, which promotes building a respectful community through Service, Acceptance, Integrity, Leadership and Success, they each wrote their name on a colorful popsicle stick. This fall, the students in the Imagination Station classroom took the popsicle sticks and turned them into a work of art to support the SAILS initiative. The colorful mosaic mural is on display in the commons at O’Maley. Inspiration through Art!
This is the ghs varsity soccer team on Friday, 10/4 at their cancer benefit game. They won their game and they wore pink shirts for two team moms with breast cancer and wore teal arm bands for me…I was recently diagnosed with a rare ovarian cancer.. I was very touched. My son, third from right, bottom row, Treigh Worell, is the goalie.
Thank you

On Wednesday, the Manchester Essex Hornets hosted the Hamilton Wenham Generals and at the end the teams were tied 0-0. A hard fought game neither team could establish an advantage until the Generals were awarded a penalty shot late in the second half. Hornets goalie Alex Taliaferro came up with a big save and smothered the ball. The Hornets (3-6-2 CAL) will be at home on Friday to take on Masconomet (10-0-0 CAL) at 3:45, Hyland Field.
Good Morning Gloucester
