On Sunday a group of kids gathered on the dock behind the Heritage Center for the adventure of a lifetime! They were taking a 5 day trip on the Spirit of Massachusetts using the ocean as a classroom.

Tall ship sailing involves teamwork, adventure and strength of character. This is the platform off which the kids and crew will explore the sea. This summer Gloucester Museum School Project Adventure Summer Camp is offering four opportunities for campers to embark on a fantastic voyage of discovery!

Thirteen year old Gloucester student Jessica Blazewicz will be writing log entries for the trip and sending them to us to share with our readers. Watch for upcoming posts on this incredible adventure!

This little guy was waving his Italian flag to the beat of the band. He captured the attention of a couple of guys who led the crowd in song. Absolutely adorable! Can you tell where he was along the parade route?DSC_0689 [640x480]

KAOS is BACK!!

Kaos knocks off two-time champs

By Nick Curcuru
Times Staff Writer

GLOUCESTER — Following yesterday’s championship seine boat race at Pavilion Beach, Kaos coxswain Joe Novello jumped up on the bow of the boat and yelled, “We’re back.”

Novello and Kaos were the cream of the crop in the seine boat world in the early part of the decade winning titles in 2000 and 2002. Recently, however, Kaos has been close, but hasn’t been able to find a third title, falling on Sunday in five of the last six years. But yesterday the two time champions were truly back, as Kaos outmuscled two-time defending champion Seize the Moment, who was attempting to become the fourth crew in history to win three straight titles. Kaos captured a 1.5-boat win to earn the 2009 men’s seine boat championship. Breakaway (Paul Giacalone’s crew) finished in third….

True Few- Jr. Women’s Champs!

The True Few dueled with On the Rise the entire way out to the flag. It was a back and forth battle with both crews gaining their share of small leads. To top it all off, both crews went into the turn at the same time.

The True Few, however, came away with a slight lead thanks to a slick turn from scuttler Joe Balbo. A few strokes later, The True Few built a boat lead, another 100 yards further, the eventual champions extended their lead to three boats. By the time they hit the beach, The True Few turned the championship race from a deadlock at the halfway mark, to a resounding win of more than five boats by the time the race was finished.

Oar’ Dacious Wins!

Posted on by Sharon

Up until 11:30 yesterday morning Debbie Giacalone Kelly was prepared to coach the crew on to victory. But then she got the call that a rower had injured her arm and could Debbie take her place. Debbie hadn’t rowed in 2 years. Her arm’s been bothering her. But she said “Yes” and the rest is history! The crew celebrated at the Dog Bar in style! What a night!

Congratulations to the Oar’Dacious crew!
