Disbursement and Sightings

 

Ahoy,

After collecting the funds…it was time to hand them out…I was busy with my dissertation this year so, did not get as many pledges as usual…still, I was happy with how we did…I know both the food bank and the shelter were happy to get the funding…it is a privilege to help those who cannot help themselves…I felt blessed

 

Zephyr Park was a fun appearance…war vets who walk the park requested I come walk with them- they wanted to show support in ending violence in the home…it was interesting to hear stories of the world from people who were actually there…great afternoon

 

Pine Island in Hernando County is every paddlers dream…great launch, bathrooms and an outdoor shower- paddler haven…lol…it was amazing to note the vast dichotomy of wildlife around the island…I was able to take several children on their first boat ride…it was fun and they got to have a great time…it was like taking a wiggly puppy, thank God for good balance

 

Honeymoon Island was beautiful as always…the weather was too chaotic to get on the water, it was really disappointing…we did get to walk the beach…the sand was warm and really hydrated from the rain…on our way off the Island we stopped at the nature station…we got to meet Ranger Bill who took time to educate me on the environment that is the Island…really cool

May you have a great summer…

Carry On,

The Girly Pirate
