My View of Life on the Dock
My son, Thatcher, works on the Lady Jillian with Cape Ann Harbor Tours water shuttle. Working different shifts on different days, he has been afforded the opportunity to see the harbor at varying times in all its glory.
We recently took a sail on the Lannon (highly recommended especially on a brutally humid afternoon) and were visited by Capt Heath’s gull-friend Polly 5 Toes. As depicted in a recent children’s book by Sy Montgomery, Polly 5 Toes visits the Lannon seeking oyster crackers from the obliging captain. She came to the schooner twice on our sail that day and performed as anyone might hope. Polly has been visiting the Lannon for 8 years, Capt Heath reports. Thanks for stopping by Polly.

Sunday, Sept 4
The entire fleet of schooners joins together for a Parade of Sail not to be missed! Whether you get aboard a schooner or watch from the shore, this is a memorable experience for all. Prime viewing areas are Stacy Boulevard, Stage Fort Park, and Eastern Point. On the Boulevard, our Festival Chair Daisy Nell Collinson, Michael Costello, and Maritime Gloucester Historian Justin Demetri will provide live commentary. Schooners proceed from the Inner Harbor, past the Fisherman’s Memorial on Stacy Boulevard, to the race starting area off Eastern Point.
Catch the CATA shuttle from Eastern Point Gate (Eastern Point Boulevard at Farrington Ave) to watch the start of the Mayor’s Race. Free of charge, courtesy of Cape Ann Transportation Authority
The Premier Event – The Mayor’s Races! This year’s schooners match up in small, medium, and large categories for a reach-reach competition viewing for the Esperanto Cup, The Ned Cameron Trophy, and The Betty Ramsey Award.
Monday, Sept 5 – Labor Day
Rain Date for Heritage Day or Race. Maritime Gloucester open from 10 to 4pm
I had a pork butt that I just didn’t get a chance to put on teh smoker for pulled pork sandwiches so Captain Chris Orsillo aboard the Lobster Boat Trapper John agreed to use it for bait and report back on the results.
Here it is getting put into the trap on Friday.
As soon as he hauls the trap again we will report if it caught any lobsters and how many were caught.

We just needed someplace to cool off and have a snack between events recently. We had not been to the Topside Grill on Rogers St in quite a while, so we stopped there for respite. We had drinks and appetizers to hold us over until dinner later. Jim had potato skins and I had the bacon wrapped scallops. We sat at the bar and Tyler provided great service. We’ll be back!
