People went to the beach by Taxi, Bike and even walked. Good Harbor was crowded this weekend.
But some still found a spot to read a book in solitude.
My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey,
Greetings from the two residents of Worcester who consider Gloucester our home away from home. Wista and Glosta share some defining, essential characteristics. Both are hard working communities, populated with real people who are proud of their heritages and willing to struggle for their futures.
It was very nice meeting you yesterday. The three lobsters were delicious and the GMG sticker was a fitting dessert.
As promised, here are some names to go with the pic you snapped of us yesterday while we were literally “holding the bag”: Rich & Hollis Laprade
For what it’s worth, attached are some pictures we took at Good Harbor this morning at sunrise. The light was changing by the second, so the atmosphere was unbelievably dynamic. Couple that with an astronomically low tide and the place was magic this morning.

As we sit at Good Harbor Beach in this 90 degree weather, we can also enjoy the house on the rocks, at 24 Bass Rocks Road.
The house is on the Trail of Thai Royalty and has been photographed for over a hundred years, see photo from 1889 below, courtesy of Amy Shapiro.
It was used as the Summer Home of the Siamese Legation
Also enjoy current photographs.
Friday June 4 was a beach day for some. It was a beautiful day but only a few enjoyed it.
As I entered the parking lot, and was greeted by Mark Haverland, I noticed how many signs were posted, around that little booth.
The beach was not crowded, but the life guard was watching every person who ventured towards the water.
I also met a family from Concord, with their college aged daughters, I think the father was taking a break from tuition, and two women from Canada, Petra, and Ruth. It is always interesting to talk to people and why they come to Gloucester, the response is always because they LOVE IT. We are lucky!
