Gloucester: What's Your Gig

Today  was a mild December day and probably the the last time I will row Gloucester harbor in the gig until next season.  What's my gig?  My gig is a wooden boat, with a 7 person crew, 6 rowers and a coxswain.  We are a community boating club  affilated with the Gloucester Maritime Center located on  the inner harbor loop in Gloucester. Gigs were originally built in the 1800's, gig rowers would race out to meet the clipper ships.  Whoever won the race got paid by the Captain to be rowed ashore.  Today the gig rowers, row to recreate and we race other rowing clubs throughout New England. It was a magnificent day on the harbor and I am never disappointed with the scenery.  I am pulled by the tides and the winds and the beauty of Gloucester Harbor.

Although I live in Beverly, I am part of the entire North Shore community.  I have another Gig, I am a Realtor. Living on the North Shore makes it easy to be passionate about the region.  It is truly a pleasure to share the wonders of the North Shore with folks looking for a place to call home.  I am here to assist buyers and sellers my web site makes it easy to start the process
