In the middle of all those schooners, we also caught three of the Wicked Tuna boats leaving the harbor. Hot Tuna, Wicked Pissah, and Tuna.com were all headed out.
Good luck, guys!
Fierce Guard Cats on the Harbor Loop
I’ll admit these startled me a little at first, so I guess they are doing their job.
They even have intimidating claws!

Schooners on Parade. This is Gloucester.
Yesterday’s Parade of Sails was tremendous. A bustling harbor was out in full force to admire the schooners, but we were lucky enough to get close to a few of them. Ironically, the wind in their sails was breathtaking.

Serendipitous Sunset
My sister was here visiting recently, and we found ourselves admiring the beauty of Our Lady of Good Voyage church. As we were getting into the car intending to hunt for some sunset photos, a gentleman approached us to offer to share his view of Gloucester harbor at sunset. We gave it careful consideration and took him up on his generous offer.
Our new friend, Bob, was not kidding around about the spectacular view. Although the sunset that evening was hazy, his hospitality was anything but! Our hesitance was rewarded with great conversation and new friendship. It’s always wonderful to meet new people and share stories. Thank you Bob for sharing your home and mostly for just being a nice guy! I hope we meet again.
