Northshore Magazine’s Grand Tasting

Posted on by Nichole S.

Northshore Magazine sure knows how to throw a party.  Last night’s Grand Tasting at the Blue Ocean Event Center in Salisbury was phenomenal.  With over 40 vendors with unique culinary treats and delicious cocktails we were able to sample some of the North Shore’s finest for sure.  Beautiful displays, a fun crowd, and attention to detail allowed the atmosphere to rival the amazing food.  Definitely an event to not be missed so keep an eye out for next year’s date!

Award-winning chefs, exquisite wines, and tantalizing tastes from the region’s top restaurants and gourmet food and wine shops come together once again for this fun foodie event. Enjoy scrumptious savory and sweet nibbles from local food artisans—making everything from lobster ravioli to small batch rum to hand-made chocolate treats.

SAD END FOR THE BLUE OCEAN DRAGGER

Posted on by Kim Smith

Ciarametaro, the D.P.W., police, and diver Ted Barnes arrived at Niles Beach to begin work dismantling the FV Blue Ocean dragger. Despite the rough seas and biting wind, tow lines were secured around the vessel by Cape Ann Marine and Ted Barnes. Under Pressure’s Chad Ketchopulos and crew dug a wide trench at the road that opens onto Niles Beach. It appeared the purpose of the trench was to help stabilize the tow trucks. Two Tally’s tow trucks were used to haul the Blue Ocean out of the water, the Merlin to drag the vessel across the beach and the second tow truck to brace the Merlin. By low tide, at 11:27am, the dragger was mostly out of the water, when work began to smash the boat to bits. Last check at 1:00pm and the Blue Ocean was almost entirely gone.
