The beach on Friday, by the way, every day for me was terrific. Did notice there was a haze from the fires in Nova Scotia. Incredible how the wind can bring the spoke all that way.






Walking on Shore Road never disappoints, actually no matter where you walk, it does not disappoints,



Mordomo Daniel Nunes and Father “Jim” Achadinha pray the Rosary at the DES Club in preparation for the Feast of the Holy Spirit on Sunday at Our Lady of Good Voyage Church.
Many worshipers participate by saying the Rosary and attending Mass at the DES Club all week.

On Tuesday this pretty small cruise ship was in port. When at the visitor’s center at Stage Fort some passengers came in. So fun to talk to visitors visiting Gloucester. The smaller ships seem to have their passengers spend time locally, which is great.
