My View of Life on the Dock
Mixin’ Matt at Watson &the Shark–Short & Main’s 2nd floor lounge has a super cool steampunk vacation vibe that made waiting for an outside table for a group of 10 easy. Will be great in the winter months, too
Wandering the beach this morning during sunrise…hoping we will be able to squeak out a couple more beach days before the fall sets in!
My favorite spot on the beach…first boardwalk
During last evening’s Schooner Festival Mayor’s Reception opening festivities, a moving song of tribute to Kay Ellis was sung by Allen Estes. The Schooner Lannon wended past during the performance.

What a treat to tag along with Gloucester’s own Schooner Festival welcoming committee Brett Ramsey and his sons Max and Nick. Each year Brett purchases and assembles baskets of fresh fruit. Along with loaves of yummy bread still warm from Virgilio’s ovens (donated by Joe Virgilio), Brett and his family welcome each and every participating schooner. You could tell that the recipients were really grateful and touched by the gesture.
Special shout out to GMG FOB Schooner Green Dragon’s captain Al Bezanson. I was out filming early this morning and stopped by Rocky Neck Accommodations to say hello to Al and his wife Phyllis. This was Al’s idea to cover the Schooner Fest welcome for GMG, so thank you Al Bezanson!!

Nichole has this in her pick of the week but if you don’t read the fine print you might have just seen the logo but not realized that the Block Party Is Tonight Rather Than The Regular Saturday night.
No matter what time of the day, Good Harbor always looks inviting.

Glorious clouds pressing down upon the harbor this morning–solid and simplified. Reminded me of Canadian painter, Lawren C Harris.
Found this mixed congregation of Egrets and Herons on my way to work this morning at the Mill River next to Capt. Hooks….a few ducklings thrown in for good measure! Wonder if it’s a sign of getting ready to head south for the winter. Of course no zoom lens with me but they were a pretty sight on this sunny Friday morning!
I’ve been back to work all week, but the boys don’t start school until next week….so this is what they’ve been doing. While the cat’s away the mice will play.
They have a little bit of Adam Sandler worship going on and have been dying to jump in the quarries like he did in Grown Ups. And, yes,….my children have watched Grown Ups. Ugh.
Good Morning Gloucester
