My View of Life on the Dock
Johnny Carwash that is! What a great Saturday Evening over on RockyNeck, Sat with a cocoanut Ice Cream & a Camera waiting to capture the fun taking place over at Amy’s. I found myself listening to the music and not taking a photo. Ice Cream never tasted so good as the music played and folks listened and enjoyed a great evening. Thanks to Amy’s Coffee & Cones and Johnny Carwash for making Ice Cream even more enjoyable!

I’ve been taking a break from posting recently because I was on my Gloucester vacation and totally took advantage of it by disconnecting myself from the world. It was wonderful!
Here are some surf pics. I still need a lot of practice but getting the hang of it. Look how beautiful that water is!
No I didn’t try it, but I’d love to do a video testimonial with someone opening it and doing a video taste test. Anyone want to do it?

First of all; I usually don’t think things through too much. I just do it and deal with the fallout later. Such as some of my Posts here on GMG. 🙂
Sometimes I’ll Complain to Joey that I have nothing left to offer that’s interesting to the GMG Readers. Joey will say a few inspiring words. Words that I can’t repeat here at the moment. Maybe another Time. But, he does motivate me.
I came up with the idea of these “Art Rocks” When I heard the song by the band The Police, “Message in a Bottle” When I was down at Pebble Beach Sketching. So I sketched a few rocks with my Sharpie and left them for someone to find. I didn’t think of it until I received emails saying they found my “Art Rock” and loved the idea. So I did a few more and left them at Cressy Beach. When I was back there a few days later the Rocks were gone but I never received any emails. I wrote Joey an email saying the “Art Rocks” are Bust! He didn’t think so, he said just keep trying. So I figured I try one at the State Fish Pier. The response really moved me. When I think “Why do I keep doing this GMG thing it takes up a lot of my time and Brain Power. Ok, no wise ass remarks on that last one please. Now I Know why. GMG has a lot of Positive effect on people and myself. I’m just glad I could contribute a little with this “Art Rocks” thing. THANKS! GMG, JOEY and of course DEBBIE CLARKE for all of her Encouragement and Inspiration.
OK, ON WITH THE POST.
“Art, Rocks!”
I left an “Art Rock” at the State Fish Pier (my favorite hang out) Saturday Morning.
here’s the link to that Post: Paint Factory “Art Rock” click here
I Love viewing the Paint Factory and the going ons there during the rising and setting sun. The Area Glows with Light at those times. I decided to draw the Paint Factory on a Rock and leave it there for someone to find. You never know who will find it. I left my email address on it so the person who found it could contact me.
I’d like to share the emails with you that I received from the person who found it.

Dear Good Morning Gloucester,
Yesterday morning I arrived into downtown Gloucester’s waterfront at about 6:30 am. While enjoying the beauty of your city I got to talking to Jeremy, one of the chefs at Passports. He recommended I contact your show and Captain Joe.
I am a recently retired firefighter/lieutenant/paramedic from Orlando, Fl. After raising my daughter, taking care of my family, being in charge of a firehouse, trying to be a good boyfriend, I finally unraveled all these responsibilities and took off. I am now pursuing my passions; travel, writing, photography fitness, adventure and nutrition.
I purchased an I Phone 4, learned the modern technology, created a travel blog, pulled the backseats out of my Aztek and replaced it with a bed, loaded my kayak on my roof, mountain bike on the rear, brought my fishing pole, hiking shoes, and took off on a mission.
My theme is FAN. Fitness, Adventure, and Nutrition, everyday. I photograph, video and write about my daily experiences. Today is day 11. I am sitting at the Lone Gull coffee shop on Main Street, using their wifi and catching up, ready to post my day 10 story about Gloucester.
I would love to discuss my travels and talk about my impressions of your wonderful city.
Sincerely,
Clay Kallman

Doors slamming, people talking, bumping into my car, I awakened; 5:50 am.
I was in some parking lot in Essex, MA. It was pitch dark when I arrived last night. Turns out it is the meeting place for a runner’s club. And they all were parking around my Aztek. They had no idea that there was a dude sleeping in the car next to them.
I waited for them to leave, then began my drive to Gloucester. I followed my GPS locater on my I Phone 4 and took the road to the water.
I parked next to a house right on Pavilion Beach. I got out, the cool, crisp air woke my senses. Piercing blue sky, multi-colored round rocks framed the blue green horseshoe shaped beach 
My First Site Of Gloucester
. Sailboats passed by, a women walking her dog; and the seagulls. The seagulls were talking to me, I swear it. Not like the lazy, bread begging gulls from Florida. These gulls were huge, strong and had a real vocabulary.
Good Morning Gloucester
