From the audience’s point of view, the boat that is being used to transport the Greasy Polers is not as good as last year’s boat because it is enclosed. We Cannot See Your Awesome Costumes. Last year an open floating barge was used and it was so so much fun to be able to see what you were wearing.
Clips from last year’s Sunday Greasy Pole have been borrowed, with my permission, by many other media outlets, including Chronicle and the HarborWalk story videos, in particular, the opening sequence.
We want to see your hilarious costumes. Please bring back the open barge!!!

might be due to safety. I really noticed the Coast Guard just right near that greasy pole!!! Which is a good thing (for safety) … but I bet that’s why no more “open barge” maybe they can perfect that somehow to bring it back but still with good safety?
Good Morning Gloucester
