The Ernestina is in town on its way to New Bedford. Jimmy and Katherine were oaring around and all these tiny sailboats were in the inner harbor. Quite a sight and very busy! Almost needed a traffic cop out there!

Where Zat Answer- Yankee Clipper Inn
This is the view from the Yankee Clipper Inn in Pigeon Cove in Rockport where the gazebo stands to the left of here. Congratulations to Easy Diver and Brainfix! I had never seen it before this weekend. What a beautiful view!

This one’s tough. I would never have known where it was if I hadn’t seen it recently. Think Cape Ann. Good luck and I’ll give hints if necessary! As always, thanks for playing!

GGAP III Thank You
To those of you who saw yesterday’s presentations, a big thank you!
Rob Newton’s slideshow of his grandfather’s old postcards was beautifully set to music. My interview with Karen McCormack was highlighted by her dad’s arrival from Arizona just in time to see himself on the big screen. Mike Lindberg’s video of “Gloucester til the End” brought tears to everyone’s eyes. He commented that there would be a remake of the song and video when the band performs for the JJ Nicastro benefit at Capt. Carlo’s on June 25. Jay Albert included some interesting computer-generated music with his slideshow of gorgeous Gloucester photos including a shot of a tornado at last year’s Fiesta. And the show was wrapped up by the Bait and Tackle crew Tom Papows, Michael Pallazola, & Emile Doucette who will be traveling to Toronto for a film competition in May where they have been selected as one of 14 finalists for their Greasy Pole video.
Although it was a beautiful day, we are grateful for those who came to support the emerging talent of Gloucester Guerilla Art Project artists. Missed you, Joey!

Over the Bridge- Boston Day Trip Slideshow
I spent yesterday in Boston with Grandkid #1. A beautiful day! Walked the Commons, shopped, met up with a friend who took us to dinner at Tremont 647. Great company, fun day.
On Boylston we bumped into a motley group of bicyclists. We found out that this was a Critical Mass ride which is a bicycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month in over 300 cities around the world. The ride was originally founded in 1992 with the idea of drawing attention to how unfriendly the city was to bicyclists. Click on this photo to find out more about Critical Mass.

So yes, those of you who said Hammond Castle are right! There were a lot of good guesses. If you want to find out more about the Castle, check it out here!

Tony Testaverde
This weekend at the GGAPIII I will be presenting a video of a conversation that I had with Karen McCormack about her dad, Tony Testaverde. This photo is the last time he carried the statue of St. Peter (in 2007) and as Karen says, he’d still be carrying it now except his doctor said no! He’ll be home this week from Arizona kicking up his heels as usual!
Here is a video clip done by the Times about Tony right before he carried it for the 65th year. —Sharon

Grateful Dead Concert Last Night
Well, it’s 8 a.m. and I should be still asleep. Too bad my internal clock doesn’t know that I got in 6 hours ago! What a night! My first Dead concert! The DCU Center in Worcester was like a time machine set to the 70’s. We were a stone’s throw from the stage. People of all ages- baby boomers, little kids and everything in between. A sea of tie dyed shirts. Huge balloons bounced over the heads of the crowd. A constantly changing halo of lights above us. And the MUSIC! I’ve always loved Grateful Dead stuff, but I never had the opportunity to see them live. What an experience. No one sat for more than a minute during the 3 1/2 concert (45 minute break) dancing to familiar songs . The drum solos, the guitars, the whole night was magic! A big Thank You to my friend, Skip, for the invite! —Sharon

Schooner Ernestina gets a facelift
By Leslie Friday/Correspondent/ Beacon

Essex – Few things could survive 115 years without a little touch up.
The Ernestina, an Essex-built schooner launched in 1894, is undergoing rehabilitation in Booth Bay Harbor, Maine, and is scheduled to pass through Gloucester on its way home to New Bedford next month.
This is not the first time the Ernestina has had work done.
“If you know sailing vessels, it’s a constant process,” said Ken Folley, deputy director of state parks for the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
The Ernestina has earned its rest over the years. Originally named the Effie M. Morrissey and built in the James and Tarr Yard, the Ernestina launched from Essex on Feb. 1, 1894. According to the vessel’s Web site, http://www.ernestina.org, it served as a fishing vessel, an arctic explorer under Capt. Robert Abram Bartlett, and a WWII survey vessel used under Commander Alexander Forbes….. To read more, click here.
