State Fish Pier
Many days you can drive by the State Fish Piere on a beautiful day and the boats will be tied to the pier. 10-15 years ago you never would have seen boats tied up on such beautiful days. The guys would be out fishing.
Between Federal Regulations, and an aging fleet of skippers you see this more and more. We have a handful of great young skippers coming up but it is but a handful. It’s going to be scary in another ten years when the last of the big generation of skippers are retired and the permits that they fish are gobbled up and consolidated. This huge harbor under the current regulations will have great difficulty supporting such a contracted industrial base.

Gorton-Pew Salt Cod Box
Here is another relic from Gloucester Fishing Industry Past, An Old Gorton-Pew Salt Cod Wood Box. I wonder if this box which now resides at Ron Gilson’s house ever spent time at our dock which was part of the Gorton-Pew Fisheries before it was Captain Joe and Sons property. Part II of my interview with Ron Gilson from his house comes at 8:00AM today.

The Dog and I
Lobstermen are starting to gear up for the coming season. They go through the rope and take out knots. They clean and repair the traps. They paint buoys. It’s coming. As the water warms the lobsters will be on the move and our lobstermen will be ready to catch em.

Schooner Adventure Sails Into Gloucester 1988 From Ron Gilson’s Collection
While at Ron Gilson’s house I saw this poster sized picture of The Adventure coming into Gloucester Harbor under sail in 1988. What is interesting about the picture is that if you look at City Hall in 1988 it was surrounded by scaffolding under a reconstruction. Some twenty years later it was surrounded by scaffolding once again.
Look for the first of a three part video series from Ron Gilson’s house satrting todat at 8:00AM

There are controls to pause the pictures of go directly to the album by clicking on the slide show.
This is an updated version of the old “Freaks Of The Lobster and Crab World Slide Show”. I doubt anyone else has a collection of pictures that they’ve taken first hand of this many mutations.

Sugar Magnolia Crab Cakes Bene Rocks!
This is one of my favorite breakfast meals in town. We are spoiled with great breakfast joints but the Crab Cake Bene at Sugar Mags and The West Indian Hash at Sailor Stans send me into breakfast orgasm mode. I add a little tobasco to both to spice them up a bit.
