Ahoy,
My next doctors visit is in January for the stingray
puncture…I am hoping to get permission to get back in the water…the wound
traversed ¾ of my foot at the forward, bottom of the inner ankle…who knew one
tiny critter could do so much damage…
It is with great sadness and heavy heart we observe the
passing of Senior Officer and Crew Member Judy Gavinski…a great paddler…she
inspired our work to aid families in times of crisis…her being a retired
teacher pushed us to do for the teachers and students…her smile and advice will
be greatly missed…
It was a productive year…in 2017: we had a wonderful paddle – even
Skyped with the UK from Durney Key…personally, I obtained my patent and have
gone through 2 of 3 of my defenses in my journey to my PhD…many new friends
were made, and we got to paddle many new areas…great memories
I look forward to the 2018 Sunshine Paddle...
Carry On,
Captain D
