Your Support For Cape Ann Businesses To Win “Best of the North Shore”

Dreary, but Spots of Color –pat morss
It’s a mostly cloudy, rainy and foggy week. The deer are out in the mist foraging for a healthy marine diet in the seaweed. But there are cheery spots of color at the bird feeder, and at the tulip beds down on the Boulevard.

Adventure Underway Again
Adventure got underway yesterday for the first time in eighteen months. Just a short trip across the harbor to Gloucester Marine Railways on Rocky Neck, but it felt wonderful to be on the water again after not being able to sail last year.
We will be hauled out for a few weeks for maintenance, inspection, and bottom painting, then we’ll return to Maritime Gloucester to begin uprigging for our sailing season. We plan to be ready to sail with the public on board in early July.
Join us aboard this fast and able vessel for an experience like none other.

Fisherman. Pioneer. Adventurer.
Sounds like a pretty satisfying life. I love this stone found at the Solomon Jacobs Park at Harbor Loop. It inspired me to learn more about Captain Solomon Jacobs.
Wouldn’t you know that upon doing a Google Search for “Captain Solomon Jacobs” the very first result to show up was for a post on GoodMorningGloucester back in 2012…posted by Joey C. with information shared by Chet Brigham.
Click on the photo below to be taken to the post I just referenced.
At the end of that post Chet Brigham writes, “Today we have the park, but Sol Jacobs remains a name known to few. In my new book, “On Opposite Tacks” (Whale’s Jaw Publishing, http://www.whalesjaw.com), I recount the captain’s astonishing career – with the hope that we can turn the corner in giving Capt. Sol the recognition he deserves. So that fewer people will be asking, “Hey, who is this park named after?”
So, also visit http://www.whalesjaw.com and take a look at Chester Brigham’s book, “On Opposite Tacks” to learn more.
Good Morning Gloucester
