Sun Ray On The Way


 
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…
