My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey, I captured this mirage on the horizon with a long lens last Monday.
Shot from Wonson’s Cove, it was probably about 20 to 35 miles out. You can see the Boston skyline on the right.
Normally there is just a sharp horizon line in that area. It was in the mid afternoon.
On the left the whale watch boat is on it’s way back into the harbor. –Len Burgess
Susan Kelly would love to get a special artist sticker, so she could park her car as a resident, to promote our great City in her art.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
he Evelina M. Goulart is an 83-foot (25.2-meter) fishing schooner built by Arthur D. Story in the Story Shipyard (now the Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding Museum) in 1927. She is one of seven surviving Essex-built fishing schooners and the only one to be virtually unchanged from its original configuration. At some point in her life she was converted into a fishing dragger, being fitted with an engine for the purpose.
Throughout her life she was primarily used for swordfishing. In 1985 Hurricane Gloria touched down in the New England area and damaged the stern of the Goulart. Tied up to the wharf and retired, her engine was removed. At some point the bilge pumps failed and the vessel sank.
In 1990 Evelina M. Goulart was donated to the Essex Shipbuilding Museum. Housed in an open-sided shed, the ship was intended as an example of ship construction, once the ship was stabilized. However the hull is badly deteriorated and the vessel may end its days at the breakers, with only the significant portions preserved for the future.

Ambie is still making deliveries; however now it is lobsters he traps, on his boat “The Valerie Dawn”.
Ambie will still provide the best Italian Sausage during Fiesta.
I think this could be the oldest in the country.
Linguiça – is a dry Sausage, consists of coarsely chopped pork shoulder (both the lean and the fat), plenty of garlic and paprika. Its shape, rather like a long and slender lingua (tongue) explains the name.
Chouriço – is a chunkier and juicier Sausage and very garlicky, made in links about 10 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
This change was not so long ago, but it sure created a great looking building.
Pavilion Beach in 1905, the big rock seems to have worn down over the past 100 years.
Many Supporters attend the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Recognition Citation from the State of Massachusetts presented by State Senator Bruce Tarr , and State Rep Ann-Margaret Ferrante to Iain Kerr.
The great great grandson of Augustus Henry Wonson, founder of the Tarr & Wonson paint factory also attended in support with his wife.

Hi Joey, now that I’m a Gloucester-ite for a month I get to see these great water reflected sunsets.
Taken from the North Shore Arts Assoc. lot. That’s the boat "Pioneer" heading out. –Len Burgess
