My View of Life on the Dock
The Photo of an Unidentified Girl from Gloucester taken by William A. Campbell (1971), was published in the LIFE magazine America’s Triumphs and Tragedies. I wonder if this young lady, now in her late forties and William Campbell, if they still live in Gloucester.

Another fantastic option for this wonderful fall weekend is the 50th Head of the Charles Regatta! Other than the obvious farm tour and apple picking, I’m not sure if there is another annual tradition that screams “Fall in Massachusetts” as loudly as the Head of the Charles. If you’ve never been, you really should go.

Only two braved the rough seas and ferocious wind last Sunday to complete the annual Oarmaster’s Cup race off of Maritime Gloucester and out around Ten Pound Island. It was an exciting race with several lead changes and some savvy drafting off the island which produced a new champion with Jimmy T.(right) beating Erik Dombrowski (left) to regain the cup!

Every One An Instant Classic!
Started out with a 2 lb pork loin on the pit, setting it up using the snake method. I learned something on this cook as I only lit 10 briquettes instead of a whole chimney and lit the fuse on one end letting it work it’s way around the perimeter of the kettlewhile having the cast iron pan set up with some atomic buffalo turds and triple smoked bacon which I’d let go for an hour or so to get all that good bacon fat into the pan for the brussel sprouts that I’d put on when the internal temp of the pork was 10 degrees away from when I wanted to pull it off (130 degrees). Brussel sprouts are cheap and so damn easy to cook and delish! After pulling the buffalo turds off there was a nice coating of bacon fat to cook the brussel sprouts in. The baked potato went he same time as the pork loin.
After I pulle th eloin and the baked potato I let he loin rest for a half hour to let the juices redistribute throughout the loin. Then cut up pork slices to put on a potato bun with a sauce that is my new favorite- Trader Joe’s Carolina Gold. Look for it!
Driving past the Essex Salt Marsh during Tuesday’s dissipating fog, I could not help but stop to take a panorama. The view reminded me of a photo from this past March 12th, a sight I’m not quite ready to embrace. Can’t it be warm and balmy for another month, oh please Weather Goddess, just one more month!
Excellent service should always be recognized!

Greg Verga to Run Write-In Campaign for Councilor At-Large
Since the Mayoral preliminary election, I have heard from many, many citizens both in person and online urging me to run on a write-in bid to retain my Councilor-at-Large seat. It is truly humbling to be urged by my constituents again and again to fight for my seat and continue to serve the City of Gloucester.
After much reflection and discussion with family and friends I have decided that I will run a write-in campaign to remain your Councilor-at-Large. I cannot ignore the needs of the constituents whom I have served for so many years.
We are now 20 days away from the election. In order to build on the grassroots support I have already received, I will work each day to get my message out leading up to November 3rd. I will remain as accessible and transparent as I have always been as both a City Councilor and School Committee member l and everyone in Gloucester to check on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/WriteInGregVerga daily for how everyone can help. People can also reach me at 978-325-3523.
Each ballot will allow for the opportunity to vote for up to 4 candidates for Councilor-at-Large. I hope that each voter includes writing in “Greg Verga” on their ballot come November 3rd. I urge each citizen in Gloucester to commit to doing this and reaching out to others as well. I want to continue to serve our wonderful City and intend to for another term with your help.
Councilor-at-Large Greg Verga
Dave says,
We’re going to reach terminal velocity this week, so if you got plans to stay home and iron your underwear, better go to confession and plan on destroying your liver instead.
Firstly, Mr. Gordon “Sax” Beadle returns to the Rhumb Line stage this Thursday. My favorite guest star, if you haven’t seen or heard of him, you must crawl out from under that rock that you’ve been hiding and put on your sailing shoes! This guy will tear your tonsils out with his own unique brand of saxophone mayhem. Always gets the crowd going wild. Not only that, but Ed “Ed” Scheer, my favorite four-on the-floor frontman and drummbler, will be holding down the beat and handling vocal duties. Furthermore, Mr. Pete Henderson makes a rare appearance as a foil and catarrhist of note. I can’t wait!
The Mecca for live music!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mother Ann is a rock formation located near the Eastern Point Lighthouse in Gloucester, Massachusetts, United States. When viewed at the correct angle, the formation appears to be the silhouette of a reclining Puritan woman. It is also believed locally that the formation represents the royal mother of King Charles I, Anne of Denmark, after whom Cape Ann is named.
The formation may have been named by Captain William Thompson of Salem in 1891, and has since been compared to New Hampshire’s Old Man in the Mountain.[3] A nearby whistling buoy is known as “Mother Ann’s Cow”.
