Cool Installation Art on Madfish Wharf
I have no idea who created these, but they are very cool, especially the Madonna in the rusted alter at the bottom. They were in back of Madfish Grille by the parking lot.

Blackburn Challenge Race Around Cape Ann July 25, 2015
A week from Saturday the gun goes off for the race around Cape Ann. Still time to sign up before the July 20 deadline. Click here for race info at awesome Cape Rowing Club that sponsors the race.
Rubber Duck and I have done this race five times and it is great fun, uh, a wonderful test of endurance, uh, an accomplishment for an old fat dude who sits in front of a computer too much of the year! It is a staggered start so a standard sea kayak gets to go before all the high performance vehicles paddled by sinew and muscle. It is entertaining to watch them all fly by on wakes you could water ski behind.
So I was thinking of changing it up a bit for the Rubber Duck. The day before (Friday July 24) high tide is at 5:41 AM. So if I did the paddle from the tennis courts at the high school at 6AM I get a nice tide, the cool morning for most of the paddle, and no crowds mowing me over. Might even be all the way around before that dreaded southwest wind starts piling up in your face.
Anyone else want to go for a paddle on Friday? Leave a comment. I have two spare kayaks. We won’t try to break any speed record. Maybe even stop for lunch on Straitsmouth Island or Thacher Island. And if the Good Harbor Beach looks like a good finish line then why not pull in there instead of those last grueling miles in the Harbor?
Yo Adam Bolonsky! Ed Collard! You’ve both gone all the way around. Anybody else? On Saturday we could hang on Pavilion Beach, “Oh yeah, did that yesterday mon.” (That’s a Jamaican accent, I will pack bear can lettuce and tomato sandwiches. If you say that with an accent you will get it.)

Gallery 53 Artist Demo This Saturday! – ROCKY NECK ART COLONY
Gallery 53 Artist Demonstration – Second in series
Saturday July 18th, 2015 from 1 pm-3 pm
Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck is having their second live-artist demonstration to be held in the gallery on Saturday, July 18th from 1-3 pm. They will be featuring Pam Stratton, mosaic artist. Pam is mostly a self-taught artist but has studied in Ravena, Italy and Spilimbergo, Italy along with many weekend workshops to hone her craft[kb1] . She comments that creating mosaics “Is a deeply focusing activity like a meditation. I enjoy the solid permanence of the materials, their weight, their texture and their history. I often work with stone and glass together as it reflects my surroundings… the granite coast and ever changing sea.”
For the demo Pam will be working on a mosaic and demonstrating the use of the hammer and hardie. She says, “Since antiquity, the most satisfying tools for accurate cutting of glass smalti, stone and marble have been the mosaic hammer and hardie. The hardie is like a chisel mounted in a wooden stump.”
Please come down and see the art of mosaics and talk with Pam as she shows you how it’s done.
Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck

Walking Tour – Historic Middle Street – July 18
Gloucester’s Middle Street – An ever evolving neighborhood

The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present Historic Middle Street, a guided walking tour of one of Gloucester’s many historically rich streets, on Saturday, July 18 at 10:00 a.m. The tour meets at the Cape Ann Museum at 27 Pleasant Street and lasts about 1 1/2 hours. Tours are held rain or shine. Cost is $10 for Museum members; $20 nonmembers (includes Museum admission). Space is limited, reservations required. Email info@capeannmuseum.org or call (978) 283-0455, x16 for more information or to reserve a spot. Additional walking tours are offered throughout the summer – please visit capeannmuseum.org/events for more.
Did you know that a resident of Middle Street, Gloucester, saved the town from a British attack by sea during the Revolution? Or that a leading feminist and religious free thinker lived halfway down Middle Street? Or, that the 1764 Saunders House that forms part of the Sawyer Free Library has undergone at least three radical architectural changes including a massive Victorian tower? Four centuries of Gloucester’s social, economic, and architectural history are packed into this one short street in the heart of downtown Gloucester. Join us for a docent-led tour of an ever-evolving neighborhood where you will see surviving evidence of the past and will learn about structures and people now gone.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
My cousin Kim, who grew up in Gloucester Ma, where all her immediate and extended family still reside had a daughter born with tricuspid atresia on March 2, of this year. He story can be read in detail on her go fund me page. But here is the information. They live on the coast of North Carolina. At Kimmi’s 18 week ultrasound they got the unfortunate news that Eva would be born with a Congenital Heart Defect called Tricuspid Atresia. She would be born without the right side of her heart. Kimmi and Jason live over 3 hours from the hospital. Eva is receiving her care at Duke University Hospital, in the Pediatric Cardiac Program, which is top ranked in the nation.
Soon after they learned about Eva, Kimmi and Jason educated themselves about her diagnosis and learned Eva would need at least 3 surgeries within the first 3 years of her life. Fortunately, I was blessed to fly from Boston to NC for her birth to support Kim and Jason with whatever they faced after Eva was born, due to yhe unknown outcome after birth. Eva did not need surgery immediatly after birth, and was discharged home for the first four weeks. She did well at home, eating, growing, etc, until Good Friday, April 3, 2015. Eva took a fast, unexpected decline, and was rushed into her first surgery at Duke.
Yesterday Eva faced her second of the 3 surgeries which will lasted approximately 4-5 hours, which will be followed by weeks of recovery. Looking to share her story to gain support and awareness.
Please let me know if you can help! I can provide more information if needed!!!

Something I Haven’t Seen since 1989 At The Dock- A New Shipment of wooden (read Not Wire) Lobster Traps @CaptJoeLobster #GloucesterMA
I’d say once a month someone calls the dock looking for an old used wood lobster trap they can put a piece of glass on and turn into a decorative coffee table. The answer for as long as I can remember has been “The fishermen haven’t used wooden traps forever.”
Now with this load of wooden lobster traps it’s the first one I‘ve seen in a whole long time.

74.8 pounds. That should be a pleasure to handle all day 🙂
