My View of Life on the Dock
Short Documentary of the 25th Anniversary Gloucester Schooner Festival from Jim Merchant. After some footage of the welcome parties, the parade of lights and fireworks the bulk of the film features many beautiful schooners as they sail past the Dogbar Breakwater. No less than three of the schooners were built by Harold Burnham of Essex who himself skippered a fourth, the schooner Maine. The film features music by Allison Crowe, Amelie, Arctic, Lonah, Raindog, Fluydo, Misery and Silence is Sexy. All music is licensed through creative commons.

SHOP GLOUCESTER!
I had an idea last week and have finally had enough time to start it up. I’ll be going throughout downtown and highlighting a different merchant each day to show case the fantastic holiday shopping.
Every day we’ll highlight each merchant’s best holiday gift idea for a man and a woman. Very simple but hopefully very effective. It will be a way for you to discover downtown and all the fantastic retailers we have right here without having to drive up the line.
Today we start with Pleasant St Tea and Coffee Co and there will be a different merchant highlighted each day.
George Gives Us The Inside Skinny On What To Eat, The Mug Club and a special message for Mark Ring at the end.
Things got a little punchy after 10 hours of baking.
Keep in mind they still had 3 hours of baking to go at this point.
Decorating of buoys for the tree will take place at Art Haven on Dec. 10th and 11th from 10am-4pm with the official lighting at 5:00 pm on the 11th. Feel free to call for more information. 978 283 3888
Featuring the 9:00AM Crew- David and Daniel Brooks, Paul Morrison, Shane and his brother The Emo kid, Scotty Horne, Ed Collard, Donna Ardizzoni and Rick Moore.
If you have any time at all today they could surely use a hand constructing the Lobster Trap tree. If you are not able to physically help maybe you could drop off some warm cider or hot coffee. It is cold as a motherfu$%er up there at Gloucester Police Station Pavillion.
We will be taping for The Learning Channel as well so come on down and be part of the fun.
Donna Ardizzoni is down there lugging traps that are bigger than her. That woman is crazy I’m telling you!
Also if there are any lobstermen that have any lobster traps that they can contribute to the tree please swing down. David and company will pick them up and drop them back off in your yard when the tree is dismantled.
Like a scene from Hitchcock’s The Birds. The Homies Fly Away Safely. No Homies were harmed during the taping of this segment.
You may only cook a turkey one day a year but Julie Geary shows that it is actually easy to make a perfectly cooked bird, brown on the outside and fully cooked and moist on the inside. Her secret is the technique of using butter, lots of it, and coat the entire surface of the outside of the turkey. Cover completely with aluminum foil and cook the turkey, covered with the aluminum foil, up until the last half hour. Remove the foil and the turkey will be white, but after about ½ hour more in the oven (without the foil) the skin will brown perfectly. For some added flavor, Julie also shows you how to place some fresh herbs (such as sage, thyme or parsley) under the skin before cooking. She also has a video to show how to make perfect gravy and another for an easy, basic stuffing recipe.
