Bos’n Call Forth Me Scurvy Dogs


 
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
