My View of Life on the Dock
It is always interesting and pretty walking around Maritime Gloucester.
Another glorious day on Sunday. Rick and I went kayaking in Gloucester Harbor. We love having lunch on Ten Pound Island. So blessed to live here.
On Tuesday it was so nice I decided to take a walk down to Maritime Gloucester.
What a great take in at Maritime Gloucester. Papa and Nonnie took the kids to Maritime Gloucester on Tuesday. A terrific time had by all. For more information please click on the link below:

Notice the photo of the schooner, this photo that is hanging at Maritime Gloucester is one of FOB Len Burgess.
Did you know that if you become a member of Schooner Adventure, your membership includes TWO FREE SAILS?
At least twelve crew and volunteers are needed to help set sail and passengers are invited to participate. Note GMG contributor and Adventure super volunteer Greg Bover in the foreground.
Hoisting the Sails
This past week I was invited by FOB Adam Bolonsky to sail the Schooner Adventure to take photos and write a bit for Good Morning Gloucester.
Sailing aboard the Adventure I felt transported to another time and place. Exhilarating, yet peaceful, the ship possesses a splendid grace and steadfastness. What a treasured gift to have had this experience. Thank you, thank you Captain Edick, Adam, and crew for a truly memorable afternoon. I can’t wait to adventure aboard the Adventure again!
With sunny and blue skies above, along with a moderately strong wind, Captain Edick remarked that it was perhaps the best sail of the summer.
Experiential learning is at the core of Adventure’s mission. Volunteer Adam Bolonsky teaches young sailors how to navigate Gloucester Harbor.
In June, the Adventure was issued her Passenger Vessel Certificate by the Coast Guard. The member sails have become so popular dates have been added every week in August and early September.
The Advenutre is poised to be a tremendously positive ambassador for Gloucester. Saturday she participated in the Corinthian Classic Yacht Regatta in Marblehead. The vessel is a floating museum and classroom and there are plans to sail to nearby ports from where the Adventure used to sail as a fishing boat including Boston, New York, New Bedford, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Portland.
Support the Adventure by becoming a member or volunteer–opportunities abound. Take advantage of this extraordinarily beautiful gift to Gloucester that is the Adventure! Click here to learn more about becoming a member.
