My View of Life on the Dock
We love to think that we are in control of our lives. That we make our own decisions and create our own fate. Our country was founded on this notion of free will and choosing your own fate. But what happens when fate chooses you? When the perfect opportunity you weren’t looking for comes around? How do you say no? The answer: You don’t.

I’ll be on 94.9 With Aurelia Nelson at 8:40 This Mornig Talking About Today’s Finish! Tune In!
Last night I brought home some lobster, marinated some steak and chicken, Nichole Schrafft brought salad and pastry and we drank wine, beer and finished with excellent bourbon and tequila.
Adventureman and his team were such fun to be around. Can’t wait to see everyone tonight!

On Wednesday the 27th March, after a year running exactly 210 marathons – more than 5,500 miles, from the westernmost point to the east coast via as many children’s hospitals as he could visit during his yearlong visa – Jamie McDonald, AKA Adventureman, will run his final six miles to the beach at Fort Point, Gloucester, Massachusetts.
And he’d love all the support he can get!
The mammoth adventure has raised more than $150,000 for sick kids so far – a cause close to Jamie’s heart, having spent the first nine years of his life in and out of hospital, with a rare spinal condition.
We’re inviting members of the public, of all ages, to join and support us. (Superhero outfits are optional but very much preferred!).
We have broken it down into a few stages to ensure people of all abilities can join in, and Jamie will be live-streaming to ensure people all over the world can be involved, too!!!
The route can be seen on Google Maps here: https://goo.gl/maps/Snm3sbYvgh52
*** 6 miles out – don’t worry, it’ll be a nice slow pace!
– Meeting point: Sweeney Park, 113 Summer St, Manchester By the Sea
– Time: 2.30pmÂ
***1.7 miles out (if you’d like a shorter run)
– Meeting point: Hammond Castle
– Time: 3.45pm
***0.7 miles from the finishing point:
– Meeting point: Stage Fort Park (lots of parking nearby, apparently!)
– Time: 4pm
***Finishing point at the Fisherman’s Memorial Statue – where Jamie will dip his hand in the Atlantic Ocean, having done the same 5,500 miles ago in the Pacific!
-Time: approximately 4.15pmÂ
After the finish, the nearby Beauport Hotel has confirmed they will be putting on a welcome celebration and reception for supporters, so please do feel free to join us to celebrate the incredible achievement… after which, Jamie will be back in the UK to attempt to break the world record for the most miles run on a treadmill in 7 days!
*** Please feel free to share this event far and wide – and tag your friends in, too! ***
Written By Earl Foote and given to us to use as our podcast intro. Mike Lindberg one of Good Morning Gloucester’s first contributors created this video which I consider to be the best music video of all time.
Brings chill every time I listen to it still to this very day. Mentions the crew of the Andrea Gail and my Uncle Cosmo’s boat The Captain Cosmo and the men that were lost to the sea, the Boulevard, the Fisherman’s Memorial Statue.
How much more fitting could the Song “Gloucester Til The End be for a Gloucester England born runner to finish a 5500 mile run around the perimeter of the United states and finishing on the Boulevard at The Statue?
Crazy.
