Wharf Rats are Pulling for Julianna

The boys and I had the pleasure of sneaking some up-close photos of the seine boats earlier today.  Much more importantly, we had the pleasure of meeting Julianna Frontiero and her father, Tony.  Tony, I was told, is a legend in St. Peter Fiesta seine boat racing history.  His daughter, Julianna, is the inspiration behind this year’s Wharf Rats team and the their mission to win while pulling hard for her onboard the Pinta later this weekend!  As Julianna fights a very rare disease called Friedreich’s Ataxia, the crew will be thinking of her with each and every stroke.

Good Sports

More from this morning’s race between Gloucester’s finest!  The Gloucester Police Department, the Gloucester Fire Department and the Coast Guard.

Competitors on the water today….but, joined normally by the same mission to keep us all safe.

What good sports.  It was great fun to watch them all race!

While the Coast Guard was ultimately victorious, it was a close race from beginning to end!

BUONO FIESTA! Paul the 3rd’s Bench on the Boulevard.

BUONO FIESTA! Paul the 3rd’s Bench on the Boulevard.

It’s at the first set of double benches between the Fisherman at the wheel statue and the drawbridge.

Great place to sit have a coffee and enjoy the view.

Joanne Frontiero Writes…

Congratulations to the winners of both the senior and junior women’s crews, the Breakfast Club and the Savages. Also to all the women and girls, win or lose, who have contributed to carrying on this tradition of twenty years!! This past week has had some really close exciting races in both the men’s and women’s. Thank you also to Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan for all her photos and videos for us to look back at all of them in the future! I know your heart is with your Daughter’s crew, but you always included every crew in your pictures, so that there would be a history to look back on for everyone. I am especially proud of both of my crews today. We may not have won, but we tried like hell, and that’s all you can ask for. Viva San Pedro!
