Schooner Festival is Here! This brings an opportunity to sail on one of the beautiful schooners in town. Or, come aboard Gloucester’s resident touring schooners the Thomas E. Lannon and the Ardelle any time to enjoy beautiful views of Gloucester from the Sea. Not to mention the many whale watching, deep-sea fishing, and cruise boats available to locals and visitors to Cape Ann.

But if you are prone to sea sickness like I am, the thought of getting onboard a boat may be the furthest thing from your mind. I can totally relate! My husband loved scuba diving with me.  Many vacations were spent traveling from one dive site to another. The small jumper plans we had to take didn’t help my issues with motion sickness.

Towing a Tuna

Posted on by Nichole S.

Live blogging from Compass Seafood.

The good news is they caught a tuna.

The bad news is that Sea Tow had to bring them in to unload it.

Luckily, at 95 inches and over 350 pounds, the fish should cover the tow.

3 of 18,014 Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood, and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

Antoine de Saint-ExupĂŠry (1900-1944)

Born into an aristocratic family, the Comte de Saint-Exupéry attended the French Naval Academy and studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts before joining the army in his early twenties and learning to fly. He became a celebrated airmail pilot on the route between Toulouse and Dakar, Senegal, and wrote movingly in high French style about his life in the air. During the Second World War, exiled to New York from Nazi-occupied France, Saint-Exupéry wrote his best known work, The Little Prince, a work of philosophical reflection masquerading as a children’s story which has become one of the best-selling books of all time. Returning to Europe to fight with the Free French, late in the war, Saint-Exupéry was lost at sea during a reconnaissance flight. He was the recipient of the Légion d’honneur.
