Category: Good Morning Gloucester

Am I the only one who kind of stumbles and mumbles when acknowledging this Monday in October holiday? “Indigenous Peoples Day” doesn’t roll off the tongue too smoothly for me and “Columbus Day” just indicates how old I am…….anyhow, I hope you have a great holiday Monday. I offer up some boats seen from the water during my recent whale watch including Arethusa, Nocole Jean, Morning Star II, Jean Elizabeth.

• 

She loves to rub up against you and ask for some snuggle time as well. With a little patience and some churu snacks, she warms up in no time. All she needs is some gentle one-on-one time with someone willing to take a chance on her, and she’ll warm your world with her quiet but loving nature. She’d love spend time on a nice soft bed, watching movies this fall with her furrever family.

The whale watching season is rapidly coming to a close, so I took my last trip of the year with Cape Ann Whale Watch several days ago. What a great season they have had this year! My favorite times to go are spring and fall. This fall trip did not disappoint although it took longer than usual to find them on this trip. As always, Capt John C and naturalist Tina demonstrated great tenacity in finding wildlife for the passengers. We ended up seeing around 10 whales including Owl, Grommet, and Fan. We also watched an active pod of Atlantice white sided dolphins hanging around with a pair of humpbacks. I was a little surprised to see a NOAA research vessel chugging along out there given the shutdown, but they were kind enough to point out a pair a breaching whales WAY OFF in the distance. Thank you Capt John, Tina, Joth, Jax, Sierra, Ryan and Rock for another great trip! It’s not too late but time is running out on this season.

Savor an afternoon of flavor and fun at the Sawyer Free Library with From Leaf to Bean: A Delicious Look at the Health Perks of Tea and Chocolate on Tuesday, October 14, from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m.

Led by Kim Larkin of Klassic Kreations, this engaging workshop explores the rich history, health benefits, and cultural traditions of both dark chocolate and fine teas. Participants will enjoy pairing three teas with three different varieties of chocolate, guided by a tea aroma tasting wheel. Along the way, Kim will share fascinating insights into how cacao beans and tea leaves are transformed into the treats we love, demonstrate how to brew the perfect “cuppa,” and introduce the artistry behind Japanese and Chinese tea ceremonies. The afternoon wraps up with a lively interactive quiz—making this a deliciously educational experience you won’t want to miss.
