How wonderful to see the Grand Isle slide into the harbor again. In 1992/93 when Bill Rafter was mayor, I was working for the Gloucester Commmunity Development department. Mayor Rafter invited me to travel aboard the Grand Isle to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for the International Dory Races. Since I was the only woman on board, this allowed me to use the private captain’s quarters for sleeping. On the journey north we got fogged in slowing things down – so the Capt. and crew pulled out the fishing rods and we fished! I was lucky enough to catch a shark (almost as tall as I am). We dressed the fish and had a great feast on-board. Lunenburg and the 3 day event was just magnificent.
Unfortunately, on the return trip we encountered a nasty storm with 10ft+ seas. As I recall – everyone was feeling the “effects”. I clung to the bunk and prayed for it to pass.
Obviously – this great boat is still proving its worth and doing its job. Thanks for the great video clip to jolt my memory!

Gloucester and the Coast Guard have changed a lot in the sixty years sence I was stationed there on a lifeboat sta. Richard
My son in standing on the bow (center) of the Grand Isles in your video. I enjoyed seeing them in action. We live in northeast Tennessee and have not had the pleasure of visiting your lovely city. I have enjoyed the postings and pictures on your web site.
