My View of Life on the Dock
Pat Emanuele Submits-
Tuesday afternoon as I was leaving Rockport Harbor to head back to the Annisquam River I noticed some chop off in the distance. Assuming it was fish jumping I drove over only to find a large pod of at least one hundred dolphins swimming between Rockport Harbor and the break water.

I met Rick a Big fan of GMG At The State Fish Pier. He enjoys checking it out everyday to see what’s going on here on our Island Paradise. He thought the Sunday Mug Ups were by invitation only. I told him and any Fan like him can come down Sunday Mornings at 10am and get some Coffee and some great food. No obligation to buy anything at all. Rick seems like a great guy and I look forward to talking to him again.
Here’s a photo of Rick Representin’ and The Eurodam video I took today. Rick also is my color commentary on the last part of this video when you see the shuttle boat arriving at the CruisePort.
Here’s Rick:

A Latin Proverb:
Hurricane Earl Tried to ruin last years Schooner Festival, but was unsuccessful.
The Day of the Parade of Sails was a beautiful, breezy Day.

Beth Greenfield, Contributor
Drive (or ride the train) just a half hour northeast of Boston and you’ll hit paradise: the diverse and scenicCape Ann, which likes to market itself as Massachusetts’ “other cape.” Less tourism-driven and therefore more mellow than much of Cape Cod, this little mass of land provides a gem of a getaway for anyone loving water, seafood, arts and a fierce community spirit. Its southern portion,Gloucester [Glóh•ster], achieved hard-won fame a decade ago with the release of the Hollywood film The Perfect Storm (based on the book by Sebastian Junger), which dramatized the story of six commercial fisherman lost at sea in 1991. Today it’s still a vibrant fishing community—the oldest in the country—but also home to spectacular beaches, a thriving music scene, great spots for shopping and eating, and an art colony that dates back to the late 19th century. And, come September 2, its bays will be filled with head-turning vessels for the annual Gloucester Schooner Festival, bringing races, public sails, boat parades and fireworks to town. On the cape’s northern portion isRockport, a village that thrums with life through its quirky boutiques and eateries, quaint B&Bs and spectacular coastlines. Herewith, a handy guide to seeing it all:

Hi Joey! Walked by the Cafe Bishco on Main Street, Glo- they had a wi-fi sign in the window. Don’t know the particulars re: passwords, etc, but thought you might like a new entry for the map.
Thanks, Sandy Farrell
