My View of Life on the Dock
Here’s a video in which folks from the Mass Film Office used a bunch of pictures from GMG for their commercial. It would have been nice had they asked to use them but still cool to be in it.
There are scenes from the Essex set of Grown Ups with Adam Sandler along with The Proposal. You can see the GMG pics I took last summer at 1minute 24 seconds in.

Last night the Dory Raffle was held at The Maritime Heritage Center. The International Dory Rowers Organization is full of very committed and friendly people who volunteer time and energy to continuing this great Gloucester tradition.
One of the best things about this group is their commitment to bringing regular folks who might otherwise not have any real connection or financial way to get out on Gloucester Harbor a way to really feel connected to it.
I know I’ve said it a million times but for a measly $50 you get to use the boats all year long. It’s the best bang for your buck in the the whole city.
Katherine Richmond conceived the idea to have an authentic handline dory built and to sell raffle tickets which would help pay for some of the costs to keep this tradition alive. Geno Mondello donated his time to build the dory.
A FOB, Brian the creator of the Brooklyn Blog A Movable Bridge drove all the way from Brooklyn yesterday to be on hand for the raffle in which he was sure he was going to win.
Great Gloucester People Doing Great Gloucester Things.
I have about four clips from last night which I’m in the process of uploading.
For now you can check out this video which was taken this past winter of Geno building the dory-

I had this one saved but never published it. It might be a good one to go back to in mid-February
Be sure to watch it all the way through. It gets pretty interesting tehn they start to band the lobsters. Thanks to Josh Lordan who made the movie.
After I left to get back down the dock FOB Frank Ciolino took extra footage at Tucker’s Farm Family Diner Of The Three Stooge’s Challengers
See if you can tell the part where I got choked up. God I’m glad I pulled it together. The sweet woman who introduced me is Ronna Resnick a regular fan of the blog and super duper good egg. Thanks Ronna
I want you to listen very carefully. You will hear two key words- Beer Tent
Hell that’s all I need to know. Even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about guys wearing funny helmets and spandex potentially getting into cataclysmic wrecks, just remember- there’s a beer tent so it’s bound to be a good time.
Good Morning Gloucester
