Rubber Duck signed up for Essex River Race this Saturday!
With a little help Rubber Duck fit her fat ass into her kayak this morning. Although she sounded like a champagne cork when attempting a water exit, she fit.
Registration is open until Thursday night at 7 PM but you better register right this minute because the cutoff of 180 boats in the race is rapidly approaching. Click here to go to the Cape Ann Rowing Club Registration page to sign up and get info.
Never entered a race before? It’s only three miles up and three miles back and then hotdogs, beer, and clam chowder await you back at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum. If you don’t want to race just go to the causeway in front of Woodman’s and watch the work boats and dories start at 10 AM this Saturday and make sure you stay until noon to see Rubber Duck make it back.
As always a hat tip to all the volunteers of the Cape Ann Rowing Club who make this event a memorable start to the summer.

Sun setting at Corliss Landing
One of my favorite spots to put in my kayak is Corliss Landing. It’s still a little chilly for me to be out paddling (although we just put the racks on my car for the boats so we are ready and waiting!) The blustery night Monday DID make for a decent sunset. Enjoy!

Toot. Toot.
That was me blowing my horn. Only it isn’t really my horn. It is the horn that belongs to phenomenal school where I am incredibly privileged to teach.
While I could always wax poetically about many of the special things that happen there on a daily basis, I don’t. So, when I do…you know it is going to be even extra special. Like today. This isn’t just any proud moment though. This one also includes the one and only, Sista Felicia. This week, for one super fun night, Harborlight-Stoneridge Montessori and Sista Felicia joined forces.
See, our Middle School students put their wonderfully creative minds together and planned themselves a pretty exceptional week-long field study trip to Gloucester. Gloucester may have, at first, seemed like an odd choice since these students all hail from the North Shore area, but given the fact that they were excited to dig deeper, explore further, and learn more substantially about this special place we call home, it wasn’t really an odd choice at all.
They rented themselves a pretty sweet home on the beach, created a week-long vision of learning, drew a logo, and planned a week to end all weeks. With the direction of their teachers, but the license to make their own decisions, they planned a week that includes working closely with Tony Wilbur at Maritime Gloucester, a sail on the Ardelle, some time on the Adventure, learning how to SUP, a trip to Cape Pond Ice, a meeting with Angela Sanfilippo, a visit with a couple of local artists, a lobstering trip, a visit to Hammond Castle, a walk on Dog Bar Breakwater, and much (much) more. Oh, wait…much more…including breaking in their vacation pad by preparing an exceptionally delicious meal with Sista Felicia.
Don’t be surprised if you hear more about this trip in the week to come, but in the meantime I wanted to show you how fantastic it was to have my worlds collide. Felicia, no surprise, led these students like the expert she is. She had them working all areas of the kitchen with enthusiasm and, in the end, a fantastic meal consisting of appetizers, “cocktails”, salad, main courses (obviously including locally caught fish), and a dessert….but, most importantly, teamwork…was served.
Thanks so much, Felicia! A side note, that probably goes with out saying, is that the food was delicious and received accolades from all.

GLOUCESTER STAGE COMPANY LAUNCHES 37th SEASON WITH PETER SHAFFER’S LETTICE AND LOVAGE
Gloucester Stage Company kicks off the 37th season of producing professional theater on Cape Ann with Peter Shaffer’s Lettice and Lovage opening on May 19 and running through June 11 at 267 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA. Written by Tony Award-winning playwright Peter Shaffer, Lettice and Lovage follows tour guide Lettice Douffet as she leads tours through an obscure English mansion utterly devoid of interest. Lettice decides to “Enlarge! Enliven! Enlighten!” her tours by fabricating fanciful stories, which ignites the wrath of her employer, Lotte Schon, an inspector from the Preservation Trust. The battle that ensues rapidly turns to friendship as the ladies embark on a series of escapades in this delightful comedy. Directed by Gloucester Stage veteran Benny Sato Ambush, Lettice and Lovage features Academy Award nominated actress and Gloucester resident Lindsay Crouse as Lettice Douffet, Marya Lowry as Lotte Schon, Mark S. Cohen as Bardolph and Janelle Day Mills as Miss Framer. Lettice and Lovage reunites Lindsay Crouse with director Benny Sato Ambush. The pair collaborated on Gloucester Stage’s critically acclaimed 2013 production of Driving Miss Daisy.

Saturday Evening Girls Talk at the Cape Ann Museum
May 17, 2016 ~ Cape Ann Museum
Progress and Opportunity in the Early 1900s
Saturday, May 21 at 2:00 p.m.
An illustrated lecture presented by Dr. Dorothy E. King
The Saturday Evening Girls (S.E.G.) was a progressive social club organized in Boston in 1899 to assimilate young immigrant women into American culture. The “girls” who took part in the group met on Saturday evenings and were introduced to literature, art and history. They were also given the opportunity to develop craft and business skills at the Paul Revere Pottery in North Boston. The bowl shown here is one such example of the skilled craftsmanship that came out of this social experiment. S.E.G. pottery is now very valuable and highly sought after. The S.E.G. is connected to Cape Ann through a summer camp that was built for the girls’ use at Wingaersheek Beach in West Gloucester in 1906.
Dr. King, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Penn State Harrisburg will be joined by Joanne Riley, archivist at UMASS Boston and Roz Kramer, daughter of pioneer Saturday Evening Girls (SEG) researcher Barbara Kramer for the lecture.
This program is $10 for CAM members / $20 for non-members (includes Museum admission). Space is limited; reservations required. For more information, please email info@capeannmuseum.org. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Museum at 978-283-0455 x10 or online at Eventbrite.

ATTENTION ALL INTERNATIONAL DORY RACING FUNDRAISER
Attention All!
The Gloucester International Dory Racing Committee will be hosting a fundraiser at the St. Peter’s Club Friday, May 20th at 6 pm. All are welcome to attend for a fun night of games, drinks, apps, music, dancing, and lots of cool items for raffles! Proceeds from the event will go towards the expansion of our program and offerings to the community which will allow our members to continue promoting maritime heritage, friendly competition, and fun. Not many people in our community are familiar with the history of Dory’s and how much importance they hold in the start of our fishing industry. Our goal is to educate people more about this cause and possibly even recruit new members to try a sport that represents the meaning of their hometown. So come join us for a fun night and help keep this tradition going strong! Tickets will be sold prior to the event for $10 or can be purchased at the door. For any questions about the fundraiser, to purchase tickets, or if you’d like to make donations for raffles please contact the following members. Hope to see a lot of you there!

Thanks to Nancy Marciano for the invitation to stop by and take photos of her husband Captain Dave Marciano. He is being featured in a sponsored promo for the worldwide hit TV show Wicked Tuna (and NatGeos most popular). Captain Dave and filming crew could not have been more terrific. A weather-perfect morning, Gloucester Harbor looked exquisite in the early morning light.
As Wicked Tuna Season V comes to a close, fans will be happy to know that NatGeo has renewed the show for a sixth season! Filming will begin this summer. Thanks so much again to Nancy!
