Weather Heading Into Smiths Cove
Thunder, lightning and the most beautiful light – just breathtaking, as I stand out on a dock with metal railings and lightning flashing around. Only for GMG.

So I was paddling all the way around Cape Ann and
when I crossed under the Greasy Pole to finish a boat exploded over in the cut. To complete circumnavigation I had to go that way to get back to my car at the high school. The boat was burning like a big rubber duck.

Boat Fire in River Behind Cape Ann’s Marina Resort
A boat in the water behind Cape Ann’s Marina Resort caught on fire a little while ago. Everyone is OK and it is NOT one of the boats participating in this weekend’s Bluefin Blowout Tournament.

Sometimes you just gotta cross the bridge
Last night, a number of our Gloucester friends came to the Robert Randolph & The Family Band concert we presented at The Cabot in Beverly, some of whom exclaimed, “Boy it’s just amazing that we can see this level of music so close to home!”
Indeed, Beverly is about as close as a national touring artist, the likes of Robert Randolph, is likely to get to Gloucester. So perhaps it’s time for us to extend our notion of “just down the road” to include Beverly, which is … dare I say … over the bridge.
Tomorrow we’re bringing three of the hottest Boston area bands to the Cabot stage: Boston Music Award winners Ruby Rose Fox and Jesse Dee with Salem’s Sarah & the Wild Versatile. We believe all three bands will soon be playing much bigger venues — that are much farther away than Beverly and — oh yeah — charge a whole lot more for tickets. ALL AGES seats for tomorrow’s concert start at $15 (the same as it costs to see Jurassic World at the mall). It’s a great show for your kids, who’ll be able to say “I saw them up close at The Cabot!” Good seats are still available here.

Let’s hope they get it on the boat and then stay tuned for the ETA at Cape Ann’s Marina Resort for weigh in. Good luck, Bulldog!!
If you haven’t seen a bluefin tuna up-close, you should!

Bluefin Blowout Kick-off Event: Captain’s Dinner
For those of you who may not be “in the know”, the Bluefin Blowout is no joke. We are incredibly fortunate to have this premier tuna tournament take place each summer in our own backyard. This weekend, Cape Ann’s Marina Resort is home to this fantastic tournament for the 4th year in a row.
Last year’s winning fish weighed in at an impressive 914 pounds!
This year’s tournament has over 40 boats entered, some pretty fantastic sponsors, and important ties to charities.
While a tremendous sporting event, the tournament more importantly honors the memory of Madelyn Rose Bouley, and proudly supports important funding needs within Child Life Services at Floating Hospital for Children. The tournament has also joined forces with the Boston Bruins Foundation!
So, come on down this weekend and be a part of the fun!
