Hail and
Good Day,
So much cool
stuff to talk about…I have been working with Pasco Parks and Rec to make a very
special paddle…I have also hired a guy to BBQ at the end of the paddle…nothing
better at the end of a long paddle…we have set up a parking and staging
situation that is quite cool…I have been getting info from all over the county
for entrance packages…
Going down
the gulf coast of Pasco is special…much of the pristine beauty is still in
place…many of the inhabited areas have small secrets and hideaways..we will
paddle through 2 local dolphin pods and depending on water temp, there are 2
manatee families…storks, pelicans, egrets and eagles should be easily spotted
and why one should bring a camera
This is a 14
mile paddle…please be sure to pack accordingly…this is Florida, sun protection
is a must…make sure to have plenty of fluid with you…the closer it gets the
more excited I am…an air horn and or whistle…hat and or a face wrap…paddle
float is a good thing…do not forget your bilge pump…bring hand food as you will
need to eat something every hour to keep up energy…first aid kit…deck compass
comes in quite helpful- even if you have a GPS…spare paddles…rope…spray skirt
is optional- I do not use one when I am in the gulf…knife…hand crank radio…trash
container and toilet paper…pfd…sunglasses and a spare pair of sunglasses…binoculars…towel…drybag…mp3-
good to have a spare for this too…change of clothes…camera…epirb/spot
tracker-if you do not have one just stay close to a paddler who does…

I am now
working with the State at getting The Sunshine Paddle registered from an even to a chairity…they have been having a hard
time understanding that no one makes a paycheck…so we are currently going back
and forth- just so much fun…Sunshine Paddle has a day in South Carolina
Sponsored…so it begins…April 15 of 2014 is on the Calendar…The long Trip from St. Augustine,
Florida to Wiscasset, Maine will be made…so much work to be done…
Well no time
do I have to be tarrying…
The Girly
Pirate
