My View of Life on the Dock
Last week it was perfect on Monday for a frozen raspberry margarita at Jalapenos on Main St. It’s my favorite spot for a frozen margarita. We always enjoy the atmosphere there, where it feels like a neighborhood bar. The food is great, the service friendly…it’s a win-win for Margarita Monday.

Chief Eric Smith reports that the Gloucester Fire Department responded Sunday when a car containing three people plunged into the water at St. Peter’s Park.
Two off-duty firefighters on a boat nearby witnessed the crash, and one immediately jumped into the Gloucester Harbor Cove water to help. Their rescue efforts were joined by several local fishermen and other bystanders at the scene.
The pair of off-duty Gloucester firefighters, Deputy Chief Andrew McRobb and Lt. William Doucette, called the incident into dispatch at 10:49 a.m., Sunday, May 18.
Lt. Doucette entered the water to help several crewmembers from Tight Lines, a Gloucester-basedlobster boat, who had broken one of the car windows with a hammer to help free the occupants.
They worked together quickly with a small group of brave bystanders to help all three of the car’s occupants out of the vehicle, which had landed on its roof.
According to a preliminary investigation, the vehicle was driven around granite barriers and over the seawall, where it plunged about 15-20 feet into the water. A Gloucester Police investigation is active and ongoing.
Gloucester Fire crews arrived on the scene and discovered all three occupants were out of the vehicle but still in the water. The bystanders and off-duty firefighters rendered aid and kept the rescued car’s occupants’ heads above the water level.
“Fortunately it was low tide and not high tide,” said Deputy Chief Tom LoGrande.
All three occupants were transported to area hospitals with varying injuries.
Lt. Doucette was also transported to an area hospital with minor injuries.
“Lt. Doucette jumped into the water with little regard for his own safety,” said Deputy Chief LoGrande. “I’m happy to report that Lt. Doucette is okay after this ordeal. Three people could have easily been lost in Gloucester this morning if not for the bold and decisive actions of these two firefighters and a group of very brave bystanders.”
Gloucester Police also responded to the scene and assisted with traffic and crowd control. A local tow company removed the vehicle from the water.
All three occupants were conscious and alert when they were removed from the water and transported to area hospitals.
“We’d like to thank everyone who helped get these three people get out of the vehicle,” said Chief Smith. “If not for all of their selfless efforts, this could have been a tragic day in Gloucester. Instead, this is an inspirational story of our community banding together to help three people in mortal danger. All of these people working together in an emergency makes me proud to be a Gloucester resident.”

We have been enjoying watching the Baltimore Orioles hang around in our backyard. There appear to be at least two pairs flitting back and forth doing oriole things. We put out oranges and grape jelly to attract and feed them. They also enjoy the nectar from the hummingbird feeder. I wouldn’t be suprised if one of these images became a new notecard for Pat D’s Photos. Comments on your favorites are welcomed.
