Joey,

Schooner Adventure is back in the water, masts are stepped, engine is installed, and we are ready to participate in the Joe Garland Parade of Schooners on Sunday before the Mayor’s Race.  On Friday Schooner Adventure will be at the USCG Station for the Mayor’s reception. 

Schooner Adventure has an open house at her Gloucester Marine Railway (Rocky Neck) dock during the festival on Saturday and a sensational free show featuring Mr. and Mrs. Fish, world-renowned marine educators, to help Gloucester celebrate the re-birth of Schooner Adventure, Gloucester’s own flagship.

Please post the enclosed  on the GMG about Mr. and Mrs. Fish at Schooner Adventure on Saturday. 

Also please post the information about Marion Hall’s art exhibit at the Khan Studio on Rocky Neck.  Her reception on Sept 1 is the same time as the Schooner Adventure Open House and a portion of her sales will go to Schooner Adventure.

Marion Hall, Watercolorist from Manchester, will be the featured guest artist at the Khan Studio, Madfish Pier, Rocky Neck in Gloucester.  Her works will be exhibited from August 31 to September 13, 2012.  She will have an Artist’s Opening Reception from 1 to 5 PM on Saturday September 1.  Marion does naturalistic watercolors of Cape Ann scenes in Manchester, Essex, Gloucester, and Rockport.  She is represented by the Eventide Gallery in Essex.   During this special exhibit at Khan Studio, a portion of Marion’s sales will be donated to the Gloucester Schooner Adventure which is docked at the Gloucester Marine Railway a short walk from the Khan Studio on Rocky Neck.  On Saturday September 1 when Marion is having her reception, Schooner Adventure will be having a Schooner Festival Open House and a free edu-tainment program featuring Mr. and Mrs. Fish, at Noon and 2 PM.  Mr. and Mrs. Fish (Marion’s sister-in-law and brother-in-law) have appeared in the past as guest educators in the local elementary schools and at grand-opening events at marine venues around the world.

Gloucester Schooner Adventure has reached an important milestone in its restoration and marine education programs and will celebrate with an open house Saturday September 1 at the Gloucester Marine Railway, Rocky Neck, Gloucester.   Mr. and Mrs. Fish will perform one of their marine edu-tainment programs for the public for free at Noon and at 2 PM on Saturday.   Mr. and Mrs. Fish, who are Jeff and Deb Sandler, the brother-in-law and sister of Adventure Board Member Stephen Hall, have performed as guest educators in the past at the Manchester Essex Schools.   Mr. and Mrs. Fish are known around the world for their innovative marine education programs, entertaining for both children and adults alike.   They live in South Portland Maine, travel to schools and organizations on Cape Ann, throughout New England, and to international marine-oriented venues.  They are featured at marine grand-opening and educational programs around the world.  We are fortunate to have them help in the re-introduction of the Gloucester Schooner Adventure.   If you come, bring the whole family and grandchildren to the Gloucester Marine Railway on Rocky Neck.   For more information on Mr. and Mrs. Fish she their web site, http://www.mrandmrsfish.com
The Schooner Adventure is completing an important milestone in its restoration and re-commissioning.  She will have a new engine, masts and standing rigging installed, and new anchor windlass by Labor Day.  She plans to participate in the Schooner Festival boat parade on Sunday.  The public is invited to see her extraordinary restoration progress during the Saturday Open House.   During the coming winter the captain’s cabin, foc’sle (forecastle), and the fish-hold will be re-installed and restored.   Next Spring, Summer, and Fall the Schooner Adventure Organization is planning on-deck and sailing programs for elementary school students, sailing days for community playgrounds and community sailing programs, and sailing events for corporations and organizations.

Click here to listen to Fly Amero & Lance Hoppen on North Shore 104.9FM: http://ns1049.podbean.com/2012/08/20/curtain-up-08-19-12/

”STILL THE ONE”         “DANCE WITH ME”         “LOVE TAKES TIME”
“What’s next?  Where do you guys go from here?”  The answer, according to longtime ORLEANS member, Fly
Amero, is the same as it always has been in the entertainment business – the show must go on!  Or, perhaps an
even better reply may be found in the words of Larry Hoppen himself…   “ LET THERE BE MUSIC ! ”

John Hall, songwriter and co-founding member of the classic american pop group, ORLEANS, rejoins his friends
(Fly Amero among them) once again as they carry on through the 2012 calendar year in honor of their fallen
comrade, Larry Hoppen. This rare New England performance features not only the legendary John Cafferty and
Michael “Tunes” Antunes (formerly of the Beaver Brown Band and Eddie & the Cruisers)… but also includes a
“walk-on” appearance by the great Joe Bouchard (formerly of Blue Oyster Cult).  Local legend Allen Estes will
open the show, and 10% of profits go to the North Shore YMCA Summer Camp Program.  Doors at 7:30pm!
