This week’s live music schedule at the The Rhumb Line

Tip Top Tulips at Felix’s Family Farm on Lowe’s Lane in Ipswich (behind the DQ) is expected to be at peak this week. We stopped by a few days ago and it was nearing full bloom. As always, the tulip field has a theme. This year the theme is Beauty which is supremely appropriate. As always, it’s a well organized, fun activity for all ages with reasonable pricing. i suggest going in the late afternoon as the sun starts its descent. It was a little overcast then day we visited but still delightful. We make a trip every year and it’s always wonderful.







OK Gloucester! Looking for a small commercial space ON MAIN ST for a very well established restaurant looking to open in Gloucester. Maybe a few tables but focus is on take out!
Preferably lease space but will consider a purchase.
You can thank me later! 🙂

Fair winds and following seas, Jaxson Marston. On Thursday I posted a photo of several scallop boats at Cape Ann Marina….and the very next day the fleet lost one of their own in a horrific accident… “Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.” Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea. Cruelly, with just a couple of short days left in this year’s scallop season Jaxson Marston, just 26 years-old, lost his life to the sea on Friday after a horrible accident on the F/V 25 to Life. Another reminder of how dangerous the livelihood of fishing is for those who are called to it. Sometimes, fishermen don’t choose fishing….fishing chooses them. I’ve sat and watched the scallop fleet outside of Gloucester Harbor after dark several times this season. It is such a beautiful, albeit somewhat solemn, sight. I also found myself compelled to turn around and finish my coffee at Cape Ann Marina after seeing the boats tucked safely in their borrowed slips for the day. Scallopers in town from Maine have rolled into the bar while I’ve been working for the last several years….always so nice…and funny….and young. Full of promise, excited about the day’s catch and the money that was temporarily filling their pockets. This year I’ve sat on the periphery at The Lobster listening to them joke, and share stories, and enjoy a needed respite from the long day done ….and the full day ahead of them. Gloucester, Massachusetts is an incredibly special place. The rich fishing history and heritage defines so many families and should be appreciated and revered by others. The work can be grueling….the days are long….and it is always dangerous. I took these photos of the Fishermen’s Statue almost four years ago to the day. There he is, doing his thing…Honoring and protecting the fleet and serving as a memorial for “Those Who Go Down To Sea in Ships.” Fair winds and following seas, Jaxson Marston. So, so sad. Thinking of his Captain, his fellow crew, his family, and his friends.





I am trying to get ahead on my ordering and would like your input on which nightlights you think I should stock up on in my inventory. The cost to me is rising fast and I want to stock up quickly so I can continue charging the same $25 for them as long as possible. So please respond in comments or reach out with your thoughts. Thanks a bunch!

Erika Tarantal gets to know Gloucester and the people who give it life. A local blogger gives us the expert inside tour, and Erika visits a community garden that promotes backyard farming. At the Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute, the fishing and biotech industries are working together on the cutting edge of marine biotech – and training a new generation of workers. A seaglass artist teaches Erika to make jewelry, and we visit Cape Ann Lanes, where the good times have been rolling since the 1950s.

This snapback cap in one size fits all is a must-have addition to your cap collection.

Take your leftover pizza and put it in a frying pan over medium-high heat. And don’t do anything until you see the cheese on top start to melt and you see it just start to bubble.

Then you pour a couple of tablespoons of warm water on each side of the pan and cover it for 15-20 seconds.
When you take the cover off you’ll have perfect, no flop pizza! In this care it was even better than when we ate at the restaurant!
