Coming to America 65 Years ago
Today marks 65 years that I came to America. I celebrate this day with thanks to my parents and their struggle to come here, and make a better life for our family. Back in those days you needed a sponsor, and guaranteed work, so my father was on a fishing vessel, two weeks after we landed, headed to the Grand Banks.
In 1963 my parents save enough money to re-pay their debts, here and in the Azores. My parents decide to take me back to the Azores to let me see how we lived; I was 15 and becoming (American-Spoiled). Below is a whale hunt my father took me on, he had been a whale harpooner in the Azores. Below is the 8mm film I took during that adventure. Enjoy

Hawk Nest Update
I had begun to wonder if our backyard hawk couple had abandoned the nest I reported on earlier, when I caught them in there again. Now I have higher hopes they will lay their eggs here, especially since I observed one of them chasing off the turkey vultures! Wish I had caught that with my camera! It was pretty epic watching lone smaller hawk defending nest from big bad vulture.

Adventureman Interview!
HERE IS THE INFO WITH TIMES TO RUN!! JOIN IN AS ADVENTUREMAN FINISHES HIS 5,500 MILE US RUN IN GLOUCESTER- PLEASE SHARE!!!!
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
Itinerary:
*** 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: 2.30pm
***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 4.15pm
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!
