I grew up driving by the Bass Rocks Ocean Inn every day of my life. Passing it on the way to school. Not once had I ever stepped foot inside until day before yesterday.
You may have the same experience, but now you’ll be able to see inside for yourself through our lens. Part II-

The Ardelle Heads for Safer Waters 08/27/2011 6:25am
I caught the Brand New Pinky Schooner Ardelle in the Annisquam River this morning. I’m guessing it was headed back to where She was Born to stay out of the way of the impending Storm.
She’s A Coming and we will be live blogging it!
Here is the first video of her making her way to Gloucester this morning from Nancy Dudley at The Essex Shipbuilding Museum-
Here is a link to the progress of The Ardelle including through The Weeks From Our Boy Marty Luster- https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/?s=Ardelle
There are several pages of posts so go to the bottom and click older posts to go back in time.
We will be updating all day.
This just in from Bill O’Connor-

Congratulations Team!!! and by team I mean every single reader, contributor and commenter because we’ve said all along that this thing we love doesn’t exist without all of you. Without our readers and people writing in to let us know they like what we are doing we don’t really have a reason to keep trying to churn out the very best content we can possibly offer.

Hi, Cousin Paulie–
Tonight is the season finale of ‘Love in the Wild’ (ten pm on NBC) where my son Mike is one of the final contestants.
Hope you get to see this episode. We are so excited and can’t wait to see the results. Go Mike and Sam!!
Also, please tell Joey that I loved the new camera’s 16 minute video of his drive from the wharf in E. Glou to Essex –now, how about shooting the same drive from the ‘right’ side of the truck!!? We need fair and balanced coverage. Also appreciated the heartwrenching blog on storm survivor (Cousin Joe Marcantonio, ‘Starbound’) dedicated to our many fishing family and relatives –such a well-done piece!
Sending some warm rays and good Cali weather to all you right Coasters–
Hugs,
Cousin Cathy from California
Check it out if you have nothing to do on the waterfront tonight!
Good Morning Gloucester
