At this point, we’re not sure if we run a sailing business or a very niche water park with no slides and too much wind. But you know what? We’ve had it. We’re going sailing anyway. Rain or shine. Mostly rain. Probably rain. Definitely rain. You should come with us. It’ll be an experience you won’t forget.
Grab your rain jacket, channel your inner sea creature, and come sail with us this Saturday. We’ll be out there—wet, wild, and waving at the clouds like we mean it. Don’t have rain gear? We’ve got stylish clear ponchos that scream “I sail in all weather.”
☔ Dad’s sail FREE all weekend with promo code DAD25 💸 And in honor of 13 straight soggy Saturdays, take an extra $13 off all tickets with code RAIN 👉 Book now at www.schooner.org
Come make questionable weather decisions with us. It’ll be a splash.

The second Cape Ann Pride celebration was a ton of fun.
Organized by the Cape Ann Pride Coalition and the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, Cape Ann Pride Week included a kick-off party at DRIFT, a “Pride on the Pier” dance on the Maritime Gloucester pier, pride religious services at several churches, a free bowling day for LGBTQIA+ youth, families and friends at Cape Ann Lanes, a rooftop cocktail party at Beauport Hotel, a dance for teens at MAGMA, karaoke at Harbor9 Golf, an “Embrace the Rainbow” cabaret at Rockport Music, and pride flag raisings in multiple towns.
Cape Ann Pride Week, which takes place during Pride Month in June, celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community and culture on Cape Ann. Check out some of the photos below!

We took the opportunity on a nice day recently to stop by 51 Rocky Neck for dinner. We were very pleased with the level of service and quality of the food and drink. It’s a nice little respite on Rocky Neck and the atmosphere is open and friendly. I tried the short rib appetizer (highly recommended even as a meal) and a chopped salad. Jim had a lobster bake. It was all done to perfection….but, oh!….those ribs……outstanding. We’ll be back soon!

GEF released its FY25 Impact Report today, “In Their Hands: The Power of Experiential Learning”. This colorful report highlights 30 hands-on programs led by talented Gloucester educators who go above and beyond to help students learn by doing. With nearly $475,000 invested in GPS this school year, GEF sees that the Gloucester community is steadfast in their support for our schools and experiential learning. We hope you’ll help keep that momentum going with a gift to our spring appeal!

As of this writing, 2 of the 3 eggs from Annie and Squam’s nest near Lobsta Land have just hatched! It’s very likely the third will have hatched by the time you read this. You can follow along yourself at the Essex Greenbelt Osprey Cam. Thank you David Rimmer and Essex Greenbelt for the privilege of following this pair and their offspring every year! When I tuned in yesterday, one parent (Annie I think) was watching from nearby as the 2 babies bopped around in the nest by themselves. She soon returned and settled in. I’m sure a meal is on its way shortly. Enjoy the screenshots.
