My View of Life on the Dock
Corliss Landing is one Rick and my favorite places to kayak.



Normally, I don’t wear advertising; however, when it is swag from good friends at Cape Pond Ice, Neptune’s Harvest, Schooner Adventure, and GMG, I make an exception, especially when on vacation cruising Penobscot Bay proud to represent my city.
Last week in the town of Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island there was a chance meeting of the crews from three Gloucester sailing vessels: Arts and Letters from Anninsquam, Mugup from Smith Cove, and my own Pensive Flyer from Magnolia. Our gam blocked the sidewalk on Main Street for quite a while as we discussed possible destinations and anchorages. It is a fine thing to be a small part of our community of sailors.

Oh man…This event is awesome..the setting is beautiful and the ocean breeze as well…Rockport ❤

We are having some beautiful summer nights! Even the pups are enjoying them 😊







With four fish landed, lots of money raised, fantastic music, delicious food and drinks, and a good time had by all, I’d say this year’s Bluefin Blowout was a pretty big success.
If you weren’t able to make an appearance, here is a little video to show you what you missed.

The 2nd fish in at this year’s Bluefin Blowout was landed by Fat Tuna! Congratulations.
A beautiful fish weighing in at 412 pounds was just a little too small to take the lead from Shark Bait….and was soon outweighed by the Miss Fern’s 536 pound fish that hit the dock just 15 minutes later. Good showing though!
Third fish in so far in this year’s tournament and now in the lead.
Congratulations to the Miss Fern and her 536 pound bluefin!

Beauty and the Beast runs from Tuesday August 9th through Sunday August 14th at 7:30pm. Tickets are available at the Annisquam Exchange or the Annisquam Village Players website here.
