My View of Life on the Dock
Pete Mondello sold his old scallop dredge which he long ago sold his permits for to some guys from New Bedford. This meant we needed to get it out of the yard and up over the rail of a pick up truck into it’s bed safely without it coming crashing down and smashing the sides of the truck to bits.
We did it without incident. Video at the bottom.
Here’s an awesome video of a scallop dredge deployed over the side of a boat and working in the ocean from udcshel–

Hi Joey,
I had a chance to capture the event of "Christmas" coming to Rockport with the addition of a beautiful 33 foot Christmas tree in Dock Square that was donated by the Nagle family on White Way. The Rockport DPW and Ace Hardware teamed up to carefully cut the 50 + year old tree down and load it onto a flat bed truck for its short journey to Dock Square for all to enjoy during this holiday season.
Please feel free to post it up on GMG for all to see….

I’m thinking about boats today. Somehow they seem to bring hope and promise to those who love to be in, on or near them!

How about starting a support group for those of us whose vacations are over-ha! Could be called GMG ( "Grieving, Missing Gloucester")! There is still so much great stuff going on in town–love reading about it all!

Fishing has been slow and big fish are rare to come by in the 2011 fall run. There have not been to many big fish taken from this fall run but they are around? Its still is a slow fall run but if you put your self in the right place at the right time big fish can be had in this sad fall run. the added fun was i had my friend Porter standing in my back why i was bring this fish in! yes skip its a 41 inch fish!

Our Paul asked us to document this last part of his son’s life.
Special thanks to Kim Smith, Father Matthew Green and Patricia Natti for providing pictures as well as the music.
During the moving mass by Father Garibaldi, Patricia Natti sang Ave Maria which sent a chill up my spine. I obviously wasn’t about to whip out my camera to record it but was thinking of how nice it would have been to have as the backdrop to the video Paul asked us to take. I said it to Kim Smith who was sitting next to me at the time.
After the ceremony the family gathered downstairs in the church where I ran into Patricia and Father Green who agreed to meet back at the church at 4:30 PM to record the audio for us.
I spoke to Paul and he sends deep thanks for such an act of kindness.

Hi!
I’m the person who made the time-lapse video of St. Peter’s Marina that you featured on your Good Morning Gloucester blog. Thank you for sharing it! That’s exactly why I posted it… for others to enjoy.
I live in Boston but am up here in Gloucester house-sitting for 2 friends who have apartments overlooking St. Peter’s Marina. Before I realized you had posted the snowstorm video I made a sunrise time-lapse video in HD with my iPhone. A link is below. Nice Indian Summer sunrise.
Here’s audio and video of the Coast Guard’s response to that hoax mayday call off Gloucester this summer.
Sector Boston had to issue a pan-pan, tying up personnel and channel 16.
Meanwhile a fully-crewed motorized lifeboat, one those brawny 47-footers docked at Solomon Landing, had to scour Cape Ann’s shoreline from Eastern Point to Milk and Thachers Islands.
