Rough Sea Me
Hearties,
This summer
has seen the boat fighting many storms and at least fairing well in the beam
seas…I have not been able to take many pictures when I have to fight the
paddle- sorry…when the storms were too hard, I worked the bike…it is now I
should admit I feel better than I have in ages…
We approach the
8 month point with gusto…weather I paddle or not from here out the welso must
become an everyday thing…it is now I will work harder on endurance…it is now I want
to hash out any issues...I do not want to find them find on the paddle this time…
I am in a
new job that allows me to paddle (for now) as a requirement to the job…how very
cool is that…I am so excited…I measure things like current and flow…it will be
neat to have all of this information for this area…
Sadly I must
speak of a crew member we lost…she was a woman who it took almost 10 years to
get away from her abuser…it had been aprox. 25 years since her last beating…she
died due to complications caused by the old injuries…coming to terms with that
was not easy on many levels...she is now free…may she swim the waters of Valhalla as she always
talked about
At the
moment I am trying to scout a Sit On Top Vessel…I would like 2 yaks to be safe
on our journey…though, I am aware when I round the bend in NC, I will mostly us
the Horizon…I would like a Sit On for the southern states…I hope for a donation
of either a SOT or cash to get one…fingers crossed...If you have
a picture of a ‘Girly Pirate’ please send it to us…every one is important and
should be loved…who got in a kayak this summer??? Did you try other water
sports??? Did you volunteer at your local shelter??? Did you donate??? So many
charities have had their budgets cut, please remember a good Pirate takes care
of their community…
Carry On,
Captain D
