Caught this just when the fog lifted a bit this afternoon. Fun seeing the fog lift in the middle and then close in again hiding everything..
Needless to say the beach might be a bit more crowded this weekend!

Gloucester High Schol Lemonade Challenge
Dear Joey,
The Gloucester High School business departmet s doing a "lemonade challenge" based off a challenge from the first season of The Appretice. Each class picks a charty to donate all their profits to. My class, team name is G-Town’s Finest, is trying to raise over $1000 for Autism Speaks.I was wondering if you could post on the Good Morning Gloucester blog asking if any company or person was wlling to donate to the cause. If a company is willing to donate they could contact me at my email below. If any person is willing to donate they could come down to the locations of our lemonade stands. I will know later today where exactly our stands will be located.If you could post on the blog about us that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Zach Smith

Licensed Launch Operators Needed
Hi Joey, thanks for running the stories about the new launch, I think it will be a big boost to the downtown businesses and making it easier for boaters to get ashore.
Can you put on your site that I am also looking for licensed operators for the summer.
Thanks

Thompson Island Outward Bound Offering Full Tuition Scholarships
Good morning GMG,
Thompson Island Outward Bound, in Boston Harbor, offers full tuition scholarships for our Outward Bound summer expeditions to Cape Ann teens and would love it if you could help us spread the word. The scholarship fund is restricted to teens that live in Cape Ann towns and residency is the only requirement, besides being up for the challenge of an Outward Bound course. We offer 6 scholarships every year and every year we struggle to award all six. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Photos- The Schooner Adventures is having water tight bulkheads installed to meet Coast Guard specifications
Hi Joey,
The Schooner Adventures is having water tight bulkheads installed to meet Coast Guard specifications.
They started by using a fiberoptic system to look between the ceiling and the hull to find the best locations for the bulkheads…
They had to insert dowels into strategic spots where water could flow between the ceiling and bulkhead. Then the construction
began. It is a very time consuming process as there are ne straight lines for the boards to attach. The guys are custom fitting
each board to snuggly fit the curves of the vessel. They are not being nailed into place but rather are precisely measuring,
cutting, and chiseling.

FIRE SAFETY IN GLOUCESTER SCHOOLS FROM CHIEF ERIC L. SMITH
Gloucester Fire and School Departments Launch Community Education Project
Gloucester Fire Chief Eric L. Smith and School Superintendent Richard Safier announced they are teaming up to provide fire safety education to elementary, middle and high school students. Chief Smith said, “In light of the recent tragic fires in Gloucester, we want to educate the students on how to prevent fires and how to survive those that do occur.” He added, “By bringing information home to grown-ups on smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and making and practicing home escape plans, we hope to increase the safety of Gloucester’s residents.”
Superintendent Safier said, “This is an excellent partnership as we want students to come to school healthy and ready to learn. Fire safety is part of the objectives of the Health Curriculum. We especially want our high school students to be ready to enter the world of adults able to practice good fire prevention.”
Gloucester firefighters will be delivering age-appropriate presentations in the elementary, middle and high school on key fire prevention and survival topics. It will conclude with every student being asked to develop a home escape plan. The elementary school with the most completed home escape plans will get visit to their school from the Gloucester Fire Department and they may join them for lunch in their cafeteria. At the high school and middle school a raffle will be held for students to win prizes that have been graciously donated by local businesses and dinner with firefighters at the fire house.
In Massachusetts, the Student Awareness of Fire Education Program has been in place for 18 years and in that time the average number of child fire deaths has dropped by 70%. Gloucester has participated in the S.A.F.E. Program in the past, and expects to apply for a grant next fiscal year to support and expand its fire education program.
These programs will be provided on the following schedule:
May 30th
O’Maley Two sessions: 8:20 and 9:00 am
GHS 9:45 am
June 7th
Plum Cove 8:50 – 9:20 am (15 min travel to Beeman)

Sista Felicia’s Kitchen
Felicia, Craig, Hannah, and Pat
Yesterday afternoon I popped over to Felicia’s to find her and her fantastic team getting ready to launch Felicia’s Kickstarter program for her first cookbook. Craig Kimberley was shooting Felicia’s Kickstarter video and there was a mountain of food styled by Craig and Felicia, with Pat and Hannah providing assistance. Craig has created many cooking shows and he knew exactly how he wanted to film Felicia’s wonderful cooking demonstrations. It was lots of fun watching the two of them working at what they both love to do–Felicia cooking and Craig directing and shooting–and I was so glad to have had my camera with!

The Tourists are coming. Are you ready?
For all the reasons Jim Dowd so entertainingly cites in yesterday’s rant, plus the fact that your personal livelihood might actually depend on them, it’s that time of year to welcome tourists to Gloucester — and be grateful they’re coming.
The Gloucester Visitor’s Welcoming Center opens tomorrow at Stage Fort Park and Kathie Gilson, who runs it, has invited everyone who’s business supports Gloucester’s visitor economy to attend the opening reception at 5pm. Bring your brochures to display at the Visitor’s Welcoming Center for the season.
You might also want to check your listing on GloucesterMA.com, the City’s official visitor website. Everybody knows that the Web is the number 1 source of information for visitors and GloucesterMA.com is Gloucester’s #1 tourism website. It’s the top Google result for nearly every Gloucester tourism related phrase (hotels, inns, restaurants, etc.) and many local businesses report that GloucesterMA.com is their number 1 source of referrals after Google. It’s a free service offered by the City, so you might as well take advantage of it. If you need any changes to your listing, or it’s not there or you notice anything that’s incorrect, click here and explain the situation. It will be taken care of quickly.
