Danversport's Resident Seal

In the winter time it is not unusual for seals to bask themselves in the sun within our marina. Here are some photos that I took on Tuesday, February 22, 2011. We have affectionately named him Pauly, King of the Sea. Pauly spent the better part of the day getting some sun resting on the icepack between the docks. You can see the paths he made sliding along the ice. Upon my arrival on the dock Pauly looked up and checked me out for a few about 10 seconds and then went back to resting. I watched him for about 10 minutes and he wasn't the least bit interested or concerned about me being there. He was very calm and relaxed. We look forward to seeing him over the next few weeks and then he'll be heading out with the ice!

December Events

What a wonderful holiday season this has been! The month of December has been quite busy. Here are some photos of Danversport during this special time of year.

Many groups and organizations celebrated their holiday gatherings with us. Here is a video of the Beverly High School band playing for the Beverly Rotary during one of their weekly luncheons.

We celebrated our 40th Anniversary this year. We wish to extend a very warm thank you to all of our wonderful guests who made these past 40 years possible. We had over 400 people come to celebrate with us at our anniversary party.

Also this month, we had our teddy bear fundraiser for Boston's Children's Hospital and local charities. Over 125 teddy bears were donated to the kids. We had a celebratory party for our teddy bear send off. Delicious foods and wines were served. Our favorite DJ Bethany Vaughn donated her services for this great occasion. A big thank you, to Lori Batchelder, one of our dining room managers who organizes this yearly event.

Many guests also took part in our holiday gift card promotion. Through the first week in December when you purchased a gift card, a complimentary gift voucher was issued.

Certainly last but not least, tomorrow in New Years Eve! We are expecting over 800 people to join us to ring in the new year!

Here is to a healthy and prosperous 2011 to ALL!
