Phenomenal Day with Cape Ann Whale Watch!

Posted on by Nichole S.

I had the most amazing day on the Hurricane II with Cape Ann Whale Watch on Saturday. I have spent more hours out watching whales than I could ever count and Saturday was, without a doubt, the most activity I have ever observed. There was constant feeding in every direction, whales breaching in the distance, and blows nonstop. This is the best time to book a trip as the whales have just returned from their winter breeding grounds and are starving because they don’t eat in their southern homes. They feed frequently and that provides such amazing opportunities for seeing some pretty exciting behaviors! Hurry up and book a trip! The captain, crew, naturalists, and interns would love to have you on board to share their passion for marine life with you!

Brace Cove Seals and Friends

Posted on by Pat D

My brother and sister in law visited recently and I knew they would enjoy watching the seals sunning (thermo-regulating) at Brace Cove. They are a joy to watch.

Shadows on Magnolia Pier

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon walk on Shore Road.  Sky blue, ocean blue and warm air.  When I got back to my truck at Magnolia Landing, noticed the shadows on the Pier.

Sunday Surfers

Posted on by Nichole S.

I stopped and watched some surfers enjoying Good Harbor Beach on Sunday during a late morning walk. On Saturday I was lucky enough to watch tons of whales off the other side of Thacher’s Island thanks to a phenomenal trip with Cape Ann Whale Watch. That post will be coming soon. So lucky to live on the ocean!

Pat And Jim’s Spring Break Adventure Part 2

Posted on by Pat D

As I described earlier, we took an Amtrak vacation recently which included time in Washington DC as well as in Pigeon Forge TN where we visited the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This post will address the Washington DC leg of our trip. First let me say GMG Jim is a great DC tour guide so if you have questions for him, reach out.

We took the Amtrak from South Station to Union Station in DC which was about an 8 hour ride. It’s very similar to airplane travel without the hassle of TSA checks. You are told your luggage is limited like on an airline but no one seemed to be chcecking that. We opted for coach seating which meant no assigned seats. That worked our for us even though the train was quite full on that Monday morning. There are some limited food options but don’t expect a scenic ride because it really wasn’t that.

Amtrak set us up in a nice downtown hotel within walking distance to public transportation as well as popular sights. We visited the Zoo, Air and Space, American History, Museum of the American Indian, Botanical Garden, and several monuments (monuments tour inlcuded in this trip)…all with no admission charges though some required timed ticket entries so check on that. I HIGHLY recommend visiting the monuments at night. They are very striking.

The city is mostly clean and feels safe. We only saw the National Guard at Union Station otherwise no active presence visible to us but we felt very secure and safe. If you haven’t visited the nation’s capital city, it should be near the top of your list. Here’s some of what we saw there:

Farmer’s Fridge Vending Machine in the Jet Blue terminal at Logan providing some healthy alternatives in what looks like large peanut butter jars. Nice option rather than eating some gross greasy food that would sap all your energy.

Cape Ann Animal Aid Pet Of The Week

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Meet Mel! This quirky little guy is about 2 years old and traveled to us all the way from Georgia. Mel is quite the character. He is always entertaining himself and will most definitely, entertain the lucky taker who adopts him. Mel is a big fan of toys, specifically his toy mice. He is talkative and sweet and is very in tune with his humans. Mel is not a fan of other cats or animals in the home and would probably do best in a home where he can be your one and only baby. This guy is full of spunk and charm and is ready to find people he can call his own.

Have you fallen in love yet? Fill out an application for Mel here! capeannanimalaid.org/catapp
