Reset your body, mind, and heart in this Restorative Workshop with Megan Ghirardi. Restorative yoga is a relaxing and therapeutic practice that will leave you feeling calm and at ease.
Settle into a candlelit room and begin your evening with gentle pranayama (breath work) and a brief guided meditation to quiet the mind. Feel physical tension and stress melt away as you transition into fully supported yoga poses on the mats, blankets, and bolsters to help soothe the nervous system.

Early this morning Al Bezanson reported that a Minke Whale was caught on a small rock in Smith’s Cove, next to the Studio Restaurant. A kind group of Rocky Neck neighbors removed the rock and the whale swam away instantly. The whale appeared to be recovering from its entanglement and, as Mona Faherty reports, did an arcing dolphin-like move after swimming to the middle of the Cove.
The small rock, about a foot and half, that entangled the whale.
The Minke may possibly be injured. Please keep an eye out and if you see the whale contact the Northeast Marine Mammal hotline at 866-755-6622. Thank you!

I downloaded the Sharktivity app yesterday and couldn’t believe how many sharks have been tracked this month alone off Cape Cod! I mean, I know that there have been a lot of sightings but the numbers that are appearing in the app are staggering.

Our CFCA Kids program is back! Starting on September 11, kids (ages 6-13) will focus on skills, confidence, fun and develop a lifelong love of moving and exercise! Classes will run on Tuesday and Thursdays from 3:30 – 4:15. Online registration coming soon!
Our new season will kick off on September 11 with “Confessions of a Seed Snatcher” presented by Marie Patrice Masse. Marie, an enthusiastic gardener and nature lover, has collected seeds for many years and more often than not can be found tending her 4500 square foot organic flower and vegetable garden at the Stow Community Garden. Her presentation will include a slideshow and lecture. It is a humorous and insightful journey of discovery into the world of seed saving from seed biology and politics, to seed quirkiness and adaptability. Attendees will learn how to save seeds from their gardens and enjoy entertaining stories of finding seeds in unusual places. Following the slideshow/lecture there will be an optional hands – on seed gathering from a large collection of flower heads, seed stalks, and pods. Beautiful photographs and entertaining story-telling promise to make this presentation a delight. Guests are welcome, $5 fee.

If you had the opportunity to see the schooners docked at Gloucester’s gorgeous new floating dock, located at I4-C2, know that it was constructed by Beacon Marine Basin and installed by Brett Ramsey’s company Ramsey Marine and Dock Construction. The floating dock was created by Gloucester Maritime and the Schooner Festival Committee to provide schooners with a convenient place to moor.
Schooners Bluenose II, Columbia, Tree of Life, Brilliant, and When and If, along with the Tall Ship Lynx
The new dock was well utilized during the three day Schooner Festival event. By late Sunday afternoon, there were a total of five schooners, as well as the Tall Ship Lynx, moored at the floating dock!
The dock will be removed within the next few weeks, to be reinstalled next August for the 35th Annual Gloucester Schooner Festival.
Schooners Columbia and Tyrone moored at the floating dock.
