Good Morning Gloucester

CAPE ANN HARBOR TOURS

The Bluenose II and the Columbia will be arriving into Gloucester Harbor to kick off this year’s magnificent Schooner Festival on Friday at 11:00 am.  There are a few different options open to the public to get out on the water and help greet these gorgeous vessels.

One option is to book one of the few remaining seats on the King Eider with Cape Ann Harbor Tours.  Their 1.5 hour trip is just $30.

Arrival of the famous S/V Bluenose II and the magnificent S/V Columbia to Gloucester Harbor. 

Come aboard M/V King Eider as we greet and escort these two glorious Schooners of yesteryear as they enter Gloucester Harbor on Friday August 31 at 11:00 am.

The welcoming committee includes Schooner Adventure as well as schooners Thomas E. Lannon and Ardelle.

Our 1.30 hour trip is sure to delight all, as this event kicks off the 2018 Gloucester Schooner Festival.

John McCain’s death brings to mind patriotism, so my eye (and camera) turn toward the boulevard flags. It’s worth a minute to remember these flags have been dedicated to loved ones and represent people’s hopes and lives.  Here’s in memory of Mary L. Crowingshield.

First off you want to get on the good boats and by good boats I mean not the weird ones that have a bunch of desk jockeys masquerading as salty seamen.  Also the good boats meaning boats built by and financed with their own money that rely on you to support them.

Also by good boats I mean the local people that you run into in our community that give back in so many ways.

So here’s the move,

We came across this event on Saturday. We were told it’s a 4 mile race starting and ending at Pavilion Beach. There was a great turnout and the contestants were real troupers!
