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.

Thank You Team!!!!!
YOU ALL EARNED THIS NOMINATION!!!
My Cousin from the left Coast, Cathy Frontiero Spiro (formally of the Fort!) informs me her Handsome Son Mike (aren’t all Frontiero Men Handsome?) has made it to the Season Finale of “Love in the Wild” http://www.nbc.com/love-in-the-wild/video/season-finale-preview/1347239
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!
Kevin O’Maley and his crew swung by the dock with a Blue Lobster that they caught just off the Breakwater when lobstering yesterday. Being the stand-up men they are they will be bringing it to The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center so that the community can enjoy checking it out.
Kevin and the boys also charter their boat for full or half day fishing trips. You can find them online at www.cbcharters.com
Go to the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center to check it out. info here-

Thank You Kevin and crew for bringing the lobster to us to share with our readers.

Joey C Interviewed by Bob and Cheri In Charlotte

It is also available online at www.bobandsheri.com on the front page.
I also had interviews with a guy named mancow, another with David Pierce in Seattle who was a guy that used to be on WFNX in Boston (I could be wrong), and some others that I forget. Terrible I am.
On GMG- Of Course 🙂

This interview aired on Cape Ann TV last week and Rich was kind enough to share it with us.
To Make clear the following is only satire and I’ll take responsibility for people not from around the waterfront misunderstanding
I was wrong to assume that because I predominantly write our hyperlocal blog for our Cape Ann residents that people would understand how preposterous the notion that you could have time to move all the lobster gear even if they knew where the lobsters were released and to set it and for those lobsters which were probably miles away from that location would ever get caught.
I was obviously wrong and people did not understand with the outlandishness of it all that it was a joke.
It’s on me.
What I am happy for is that the releasing of the lobster story which would have been a simple story largely forgotten by now has gotten huge legs and all the positives of Buddhism are highlighted. For that I am grateful.
For those of you who would like to learn more about Chokhor Duchen click to find out.
You know the craziest part? So many people think I’m hatin on Buddhism, but I download a Buddhhism podcast from this guy that Lindsay Crouse recommended that I listen to- Lama Marut.
Check him out, the guy makes a lot of sense.

Receiving the coordinates of where the lobsters were released by Buddhist monks, the boys went out yesterday and hauled the lobster traps they set all over that ocean bottom and caught exactly 534 lobsters, the precise number the monks released.
We used the Kayalu saltwater safe RAM camera mount to secure the Kodak Zx3 Saltwater proof camera to the aft window of the wheelhouse to record this.

Oh yeah, THANKS!
Captain Chris Orsillo and Mate Steve Redfern bang out a trawl.
What is very encouraging and a testament to the conservation efforts of the lobster industry is how many short lobsters there are that will be there to be harvested as they grow. You can see how many get thrown back and it is quite a few.
Once again we used the Kayalu saltwater resistant suction RAM mount to secure the $79 Kodak Playsport Zx3 to the window behind the pilot house of the Trapper John.
Did you know that Gloucester resident Laura Harrington’s Book “Alice Bliss” received a 4 star People’s Pick recommendation from People Magazine?
Laura writes on her blog-
Where’s Alice Bliss? launches Friday 7.29.2011 Help us send Alice Bliss around the world
This summer I’m inviting book bloggers from across the United States and the globe to participate in an exciting, new international adventure: Where’s Alice Bliss? Please join us and help send Alice Bliss around the world. What Is Where’s Alice Bliss? Where’s Alice Bliss? is a campaign to send copies of the novel Alice Bliss to as many countries and U.S. states as possible. Through bookcrossing.com, copies of Alice Bliss will be registered and tracked as they travel around the world, passing from one reader to the next. Your bookcrossing ID (BCID) allows you to follow your book wherever it goes. It’s like a passport enabling your book to travel the world without getting lost.

Filmed with the Kodak zx3 and mounted using the Kayalu Ram Mount
Chris Orsillo Uses The Kayalu Ram Saltwater Camera Mount To Film at 720p 60fps
The mount has worked flawlessly so far and I can’t wait to make a ton more videos mounting the camera in creative places now that I don’t have to worry about the mount I use rusting up in salt water conditions.
I pair it with the refurbished $79 saltwaterproof Kodak Playsport Zx3 which can actually take video under water for the perfect solution for the dock and on our lobster boats. The Kodak Playsport also takes 720p 60 frames per second video which allows me to edit slow motion or speed up the video . That feature isn’t even an option on many $1,500 DSLR’s. Adam Bolonsky turned me on to that camera after I found out he shot our footage from Saturday’s Greasy Pole with it.
Here is some of the footage he captured with it-
