My View of Life on the Dock
Pick your color. Blue, white, yellow. My son thought it would be fun several years ago to conduct his yearly science experiment on which color trap “caught” the most lobsters. Too many other factors and not enough relatable data, but a good idea if we had more time and resources.
I noticed these vessels returning to the harbor over the last few days: Angela & Rose, Amanda & Andy III, William Lynn, Ramblin Rose and one unidentified. Always happy to note the safe returns.
The Gloucester Rotary will hold its annual Polar Plunge on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 11am at the Cape Ann Motor Inn on Long Beach, located at 33 Rockport Road in Gloucester. The event is part of Rotary International’s ongoing campaign to eradicate Polio in our lifetime. Dozens of Rotarians, Interact students (formerly known as Junior Rotarians), and friends of Rotary from throughout eastern Massachusetts are expected to plunge into the cold waters off Cape Ann.

Since 1988, more than a billion dollars have been raised among Rotary clubs worldwide…

These tools help to keep Beauport organized, assist with reporting and planning, expedite the paperwork process, leave less room for error, and speed up all financial transactions in general. Being able to adopt the seamless and intuitive technology interface.

Along with receiving recognition for being the first-place member firm at the Valmark Member Summit (a conference for all member firms in Orlando Florida), Beauport was awarded, through Valmark’s Global Gift Fund, $5,000 to donate to a nonprofit of their choice.

My sister returned to Gloucester after a long absence and we stopped at Essex Seafood along 133 in Essex for lunch. It was a gorgeous day and this counter service icon of the North Shore seemed like the perfect choice for lunch. In addition to a variety of meals, they also have a small fish market open which I did not realize. I had a burger and my sister had a haddock boat, which she loved. We also got a take out sandwich. The outdoor seating tempted me, but it’s so pleasant inside that we ate at one of the inside tables. Business was steady but did not interfere with good service. If you haven’t tried the “new” Essex Seafood, now is a good time!

We are so grateful for our donors, volunteers, staff, and members who join us for our community events that help raise critical funds to support the Y.
