The saga of the NightSUP from Cape Ann SUP continues down in sunny South Florida….
Tyler has taken the fleet and joined forces with a local company from Ft. Lauderdale called Precision Paddleboards and the mind-blowing tours continue….
The critters that we’ve seen down here are truly awesome….whether in the intercoastal waterways or out on the open ocean, the results are the same, lots of interaction with beautiful aquatic life. Squid, Jellies, Sharks, Rays, Manatees, and lots of fish, like Needle Fish and Puffer Fish,..just to name a few…..
We’ve developed a new NightSUP kit which is better, bolder and brighter…..and it’s turning lots of heads all over the country. Gloucester Harbor was the first place we tested this product, so it seems proper to check in with the GMG family with updates…. especially since it’s a Lobster update…. check out this video from Islamorada…..
Merry Christmas Everyone!!! T
REPRESENT!

Lots of reasons to feel fine today. Here are two good ones.
These guys are true rock stars who understand audience participation.
The greatest rock stars of all time. Drowned out by of all the screaming, they couldn’t hear a thing. But they stayed in tune, on beat and connected with the audience who would have torn them apart if they could have gotten to the stage.

We’ve been hearing so much about tomorrow’s end of the world that we figured today is a good time to consider a fresh start–after the world ends tomorrow. Funny, the Mayan’s don’t think the world will end tomorrow. But that hasn’t stopped crazies around the world from fearing 12/21/12. According to this article, the Mayans will “mark the new calendar with prayer and traditional ceremonies.”
So perhaps we should too. After all, it is the winter solstice, a time when people of all traditions look to the return of the light — both physically (days will start getting longer on Saturday) and spiritually. A good time to open Pandora’s box back up and grab the hope that still lies at the bottom.
Here’s a hopeful view of the world as sung by the great Louis Armstrong.
You wouldn’t think of this song as controversial, would you? But it was when it was released in 1967, because of it’s subtle, anti-racist tone, mostly due to this stanza: The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by
ABC Records refused to promote it, so it sold fewer than 1000 copies in the U.S., while becoming a huge #1 hit in the U.K. Of course, it’s a standard now and was performed beautifully by Gloucester’s youngest rock star, Snoop Maddie Mad this past June:
So much for the genius of record labels.
No major label artists in town this weekend, but who cares? Check out Gloucester’s major talent (see complete live music schedule here) and get ready to party like it’s the end of the world!

Ever wonder why Pope Julius II Commissioned Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel?
Well, the Catholic Church had been losing influence — and parishioners — partly due to tensions created by events leading up to the Protestant Reformation, which was sparked a few years after Julius II died. So, thought Julius, what better way to bring people back to the fold than to make his churches the most beautiful buildings you’re ever likely to see.
And then, of course, there’s the music, which matured over the next 200 years to produce such great works that we still play them today. Think our popular music will be played 300 years from now? Here’s a piece you proabably know, written about 300 years ago:
Imagine life in the early 1700s (when Bach was a church organist — 200 years after Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel). The only sounds you heard were those of nature–birds chirping, rustling leaves, whistling wind, the roar of the sea, the gentle wash of a babbling brook or running stream. Think of this as the background music of the day upon which you hear the human voice: the sigh of a maiden in love; the jealous rage of a prince betrayed; the joyful song of family gathered around a crackling fire; a newborn’s cradle gently rocking on wide pine boards to his mother’s soft candlelight serenade.
People of the day spent their lives listening to the sounds of nature augmented only by music they made themselves, the notable exception being on Sunday. Church music was an utterly exotic and extraordinary sound — and most likely the loudest sound anyone ever heard.
So, you fill the most impressive building in the city with the best art and music available anywhere on Earth and you’ve got a draw. That’s what got people to church. And it still does. Just ask Greg Bover who buys most of the organs he builds at CB Fisk.
Regardless of their religious affiliations, more people go to church during big celebrations than at any other time — and a big reason is that’s when the music and pageantry (entertainment wrapped in ceremony) are at their best. Check out this video of an Easter 2012 church service to see what I’m talking about:
