Buoy Tree
In the seaside town of Hull, the holiday season is beautifully marked by the "Buoy Tree," a vibrant and uniquely nautical tribute to the community's deep-rooted maritime heritage. This colorful monument is crafted from hundreds of hand-painted buoys, each one often carrying a personal story, a name of a loved one, or a festive design created by local residents, students, and artists.

Snow Row
Snow Row is one of Hull’s most iconic winter traditions — a wild, high‑energy race that launches from Windmill Point with its signature LeMans‑style beach start and a 3¾‑mile course along the same shoreline rowers have challenged for decades. It’s a celebration of grit, teamwork, and maritime spirit, complete with creative crew flair, lively spectators on shore or aboard the spectator boat, and the unmistakable sense of community that has defined Snow Row since the beginning.

Town Wins crucial legal battle allowing work to move forward on the Crescent Beach seawall and revetment. The Town of Hull has prevailed in its lawsuit about the Crescent Beach Seawall and Revetment Repair Project. This project was abandoned by the construction company hired to perform the repairs. In exchange for dismissing the lawsuit, the Town received $6,658,900.00 from Allied World Insurance Company. This settlement exceeded the amount of Allied World’s bond by over $1,000,000.00, representing a significant win for the town. After the contractor abandoned the project, the Town engaged contractors to make needed improvements to the seawall and revetment to provide enhanced storm protection during the ongoing legal dispute. However, further work remained necessary to give the neighborhood residents and the surrounding environment the storm protection the original project was designed to provide. This settlement with the bonding company will allow the Town to end this longstanding legal dispute and move forward with the outstanding repair work after securing the necessary state and federal approvals. This settlement exceeds the estimated cost of completing the work, allowing the town to avoid the additional time, effort, expense, and uncertainty of bringing our case all the way to trial and into potential appeals by the insurance company. This result finally allows the town to move ahead with the completion of this important project.

newsletterOcean Donuts
Ocean Donuts I work at Ocean Donuts. I walk to work, it takes ten minutes. I have to be there very early. As I get close I like to smell the ocean and the doughnuts together. Andy lets me in the back. He has gray hair in one long braid, and when he smiles, you can see his gold tooth. I get right to work. I make the coffee and turn the tea water to On. I set up the self serve: cups, three sizes, lids, and stirrers. I fill the napkins and the sugars: the blue and the pink. Then I carry out the trays of doughnuts Andy just made and fill the shelves with the right kinds. They all smell good. I like to sweep the floor once over, even if the girls did it last night. I check the tables are clean, too, just in case. I always finish before 5:OO, then I can pick one doughnut, any kind, usually custard-filled, and sit with my coffee, extra cream, no sugar, outside on the back step for a break. I watch the ocean and think of Columbus and feel big and little at the same time. Any minute my regulars will come through the tinkling door, all those morning faces, I know them all. I sip my last sip of coffee and think: this is my life, ocean and doughnuts, and I want to hug the ocean for being so big and the way I do it is to take another bite of my custard-filled.

newsletterCat & Mouse
The cat sat on the kitchen chair The mouse looked at the cheese She didn’t want to die today But cheese is such a tease Her longing for fulfillment grew And drove her almost mad But satisfying it she knew Could end up very bad The cat pretended not to care But licked his furry chops He’ll give the mouse a nasty scare He’ll scare her ‘til she stops But she is not a common mouse She’s not your average flake She rules the roost around her house And that’s the cat’s mistake

The familiar strangers smile at me As I glide into the coffee shop, Brave face on, “Good morning!” I say with cheer. Bill with his Patriots hat and small black coffee, Danielle with her funky earrings made of yarn, Both blissfully unaware of the number of times I was jolted awake by tiny voices. I envy them and their lightness, As thoughts turn over in my mind About the day ahead of me and the possibility of another sleepless night. But then again, I entered the coffee shop Appearing light as a feather, nodding a full hearted hello to my familiar strangers, and their brightness lifts my spirits. I wonder what is weighing on them, On Bill with the hat and Danielle with the earrings, And hope that my hello has shouldered even a small part Of whatever burdens they are carrying. I wrap my cold hands around the warm coffee, take a breath, walk out of the coffee shop and into a new day.
