Overnight, Hurricane Bill (the first Atlantic Ocean Hurricane this year), passed within a few hundred miles of the Massachusetts coast – not close enough to even bring us rain here in Gloucester (luckily – Nova Scotia suffered!), but close enough to pump up the waves this morning!
At least … we do quite like hot sunny weather, and today has been up around 90f; at 6pm tonight it’s still 87 outside:
As you can see, with the recent run of hot days, we’re over 82 indoors as well now! So we definitely need the fans running …
But even with the fans, it’s hot inside! Maybe time to jump in Joanne & Earle’s pool next door 🙂
With more fabulous weather, we headed down to the Gloucester Waterfront Festival (an annual two day tent/stalls event selling food, artisan items and oddities!) – but with lots of traffic due to it’s popularity, we parked a distance away and walked along Stacy Boulevard to get there, admiring the Ocean and all the American flags; we also watched the Cut Bridgeopen and let some boats through. At the Waterfront Festival, in Stage Fort Park, in addition to all the stalls we were able to enjoy the pebble beach, and more classic cars!
