Lady Marie Heads Out Lobstering
Sam heads out. By himself. To haul his traps and make a days pay. No one barking at him. No one telling him where to go or what to do. Just him and his boat. Hauling traps, Baiting Traps, Setting Traps. Independent.

Out On A Grand Banks Dory
Joey Ciolino picked me up for a 5 minute row yesterday. I’m hooked. What a blast. Now if I could only get a few moments to be able to get out on the water. sigh.

YMCA Sailing Program
After all the talk this past week of wishing children had an opportunity to get on the water for a sailing program Damon Cummings wrote to tell me that there are already many programs in place to get local youth out on the water-
Here is a link to the High School and Middle School program run by Patti Page. It is during the school year, spring and fall, of course so the YMCA summer program is using the floats and boats for the summer (except that we took a bunch of Tall Ship sailors out sailing the afternoon before last):

Joe,
When you saw the City of Gloucester Youth Sailing Program Boston Whaler and a runabout leave the harbormaster’s pier this morning full of kids, they were on their way out to go sailing on the city owned Rhodes 18s and 19 and the Gloucester High school sailing team 420s. They went by us under sail a few minutes later. They go out every weekday except Friday. The program is run by the YMCA now since the city summer recreational program has been phased out. Here is a link to the program:

That is only one of the sailing and harbor related programs presently under way for kids in Gloucester. During the school year Patti Page runs a High school and Middle School program with the 420s and Rhodes. The students do not pay a cent and we take both beginners and champions. The program has a joint Gloucester and Rockport sailing team that competes against other high schools around the state. Kevin Cook is the coach and some funny old guy runs the races. Moreover the Heritage Center and the Lannon run a massive program for Gloucester students and the Gloucester Museaum school at Ram Island does as well. The International Dory Racing Committee has junior racers (some in Middle School) racing against Canada and the Heritage Center has an off and on youth program in the pilot gigs. It is my understanding that a Community Boating center is in the works and that is something we all have wanted for a long time.
Whatever you may have heard to the contrary, Gloucester offers a wealth of opportunities for youth who are not in private yacht clubs to get out on the water.

Gloucester At Dawn Spirit Of Massachusetts 7/6/09 4:45AM
I went down to the GMHC this morning to take some pics for you. Some of the Spirit of Massachusetts and the American Eagle. We used to unload the American Eagle when it was a dragger owned by Joe Piscatello. I can’t tell you how much whiting we unloaded from that boat in the early eighties. They did an unbelievable transformation to turn it into a schooner.

Windmill On The Harbor
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Liberals won’t fight it because it would look like they weren’t “green”
Conservatives won’t fight it because it goes against them being in support of business.
So it looks like we will end up with huge visual pollution on the waterfront.
A 250 foot tall windmill right down in the inner harbor is going to look ridiculous, lol.
This from the same company that stopped carrying lobsters at their supermarkets because they called it inhumane to hold them in tight quarters (or something ridiculous along those lines)
Whole Foods Bans Sale of Live Lobsters
Is a two million dollar windmill really going to pay for itself? Or is Gloucester going to be used in a green marketing campaign to show the rest of the country that Whole Foods Is a green company even though it doesn’t make financial sense. Judging by what they did with press releases during the ridiculous banning of the sale of lobsters because they don’t like them being kept in tight quarters, I fear it’s more about marketing and less about the real financial or green impacts of the ginormous (it’s a real word now) visual pollution that will be erected and loom over our harbor.
You gotta give them credit though, if they give the fishermen a payout we will surely end up with this thing stuck up our ass.
Why should we even have building codes with height restrictions? 250 feet in the air is what, seven times higher than the current building codes at that location? Fuck it, we might as well build high rises while we’re at it.
Kudos to the Whole Foods Marketing Team- they’re no dummies.
Good Morning Gloucester
