Tomorrow is the last night of prayers to Saint Peter. The novena begins at an earlier time, 6:30, to allow for the mass that follows. Come one, come all!
My View of Life on the Dock
Lobster Boat Arethusa and Crèche of Common Eider Hens and Ducklings
You never know what wonderful glimpses of wild life you may encounter at Captain Joe and Sons. Sunday morning during the podcast, a crèche of fourteen Common Eider ducklings and their mother hens were spotted, bobbing in the waves and foraging at the edge of the dock.
Common Eider Moms, along with non-breeding “aunties,” band together for protection. The individual broods come together to form a crèche, which may include as many as 150 ducklings!
THE VIKING BOAT POLARIS HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN GLOUCESTER HARBOR!
The crew is not on board. They’re probably out pillaging and plundering.




The weather on Sunday was beautiful for the Seine Boat races. So nice to see many spectators cheering on their favorite teams.
For the second summer in a row Rockport is thrilled to be hosting the Music at the Beach concert series! A series of fantastic bands will play on Mondays this summer from 6 to 8 at the bandstand on Back Beach.
Grab a blanket, beach chair, and a picnic dinner and plan on listening to Pier Ave tonight…and then mark your calendars for the rest of the summer.
Much thanks to 10-year-old Wyatt Wilkinson as well as Bruce Reed for bringing this series to us last year. We all hope that it becomes a summer tradition for years to come!

Austin Monell loves science. At Gloucester High School, he’s built a hovercraft and electric skateboard as part of a bunch of hands-on engineering classes the school has for students. Gloucester High was named the top program in the state by the Massachusetts Technology Education and Engineering Collaborative.
“Between the teachers and the serious students, they share this passion and they mutually motivate each other,” says Austin’s mom, Alison. “His teachers get as excited as he does about some of the projects he’s working on.”
Watch Austin’s story:
This is the second in a series of video profiles about why students and their families choose the Gloucester public schools. Read the introductory post about the #ChooseGloucester series here and the first profile of student Lizzie Luster here.
When the season finale and the 100th episode of Wicked Tuna happen to fall on the same day, National Geographic throws a party! Possibly they planned it that way. Who could blame them.
We were super excited to be invited down to Bass Pro Shops at Patriot Place last night to attend National Geographic’s viewing party of the 100th episode and to be in attendance to see who was named winner of this past season. Congratulations, by the way, to Tyler McLaughlin and his crew on the Pinwheel.

As many of you know if you follow this blog I’m obsessed with all the energy saving programs where the government basically finances you to go green at the expense of other people who don’t realize they are already paying for these green initiatives through the line item on everyone’s National Grid Bill- the “Energy Efficiency Charge”. Everyone pays into this pool to make Massachusetts more environmentally friendly with clean energy but only the people that take advantage of the programs benefit.
After talking to about ten people who all were beaming about how much money they were making after installing Solar with Tim Sanborn of Cazeault Solar I decided to take the plunge. Since then I have not paid a dime for Electric bill and my entire house runs on electric. We also collect Solar Renewable Energy Credit Checks four times a year. So our ten year loan is $356/ month. We havent paid a dime in electricity in our all electric house which I figure would cost $350 per month to run our household, and we get Solar Renewable Energy credit checks every quarter. After ten years (and we’re already into our second year) the loan is gone, we no longer collect SREC checks and we will ride off into the sunset never having to pay for electric for our house for the rest of our lives.
The screenshots from our control panel tell me the environmental benefits of us installing solar panels have saved the environment 29,493 lbs of CO2 emissions and have the impact of us planting 742 trees. I understand if you’re one of those people that don’t give a shit about the environment if it isn’t a sound business decision, but these panels are literally making us money. if your house has the right angle to the sun and you don’t put them on you’re nuts.
Dun! No Brainer City.
If You Like Money. If You Like Sticking It to The Man. If you like doing good for the environment and getting paid to do so, then Call Tim Sanborn up and have him come look at your house. It costs nothing for him to come. he will put together at no cost to you a packet explaining how many solar panels they could install and how much it will cost you and how much you will estimate to save/make and in every instance of people I spoke with, the initial estimates he provided on how much you would save were exceeded, including ours.
