My View of Life on the Dock
So sorry to have to post that we lost one of our little chicks last night. It’s impossible to know what happened; there were not tracks or signs of unusual activity. Could it be the chick became separated from the family in the heavy fog and last night’s thunderstorm? We’ve seen chicks survive on similar nights and we lost one in 2017 after a thunderstorm. They are only three days old today so I imagine the rough weather is rough on the chicks, too.

Today the chicks are two days old; the photos are from yesterday at daybreak. It was foggy and overcast and the chicks mostly wanted to warm up under Mama and Papa.
All four chicks are doing fantastically, feeding well and venturing further and further from the upper wrack zone. Because of the cool temperatures, the beach has been relatively quieter this past spring, which has been ideal not only for our GHB PiPl family, but for nesting and hatching PiPl families all around the state.

And with a view like this from the desk, why wouldn’t I volunteer? Wow.
GLOUCESTER, MA – McDermott & MacCarthy of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, has successfully marketed and sold all six luxury units, known as Good Harbor Beachside Condominiums, to one investor. Located directly across from Gloucester’s well-known Good Harbor Beach, Good Harbor Beachside Condominiums is a new construction development on the former site of Amelia’s Restaurant.

“We were staging, shooting video, and preparing for six individual sales on the open market when we decided to pre-launch the units with our Whisper Campaign. Yet again, our strategy was successful,” said Kenny MacCarthy of McDermott & MacCarthy. “Our client was…
