Endless Kayak Summer 2016


 
Ahoy,

            At the paddle it has been a HUGELY busy summer…donation drops, practice, appearances and helping others find their dreams…I have been a Girly Pirate on the move…grab a seat and some grog…I will fill you in
 

 In July, Deanna Cooper helped me to open the Northern office…we got a request from a young man who was paralyzed and had a stoke…he so wanted to get in the water…understanding the call of the water, I went…the inflatable kayak arrived before I did…it was roomy and stable – Tory Cooper had it constructed when I arrived…I arranged for Dana Watson to paddle beside us…at the Norton Reservoir, we got in…there was a group of swans who followed us all around…Bobby had a beautiful afternoon on the water…
 

    An appearance was made in Dunnellon at Rainbow River State Park…this is a 2 hour tubin experience…the water was crystal clear…this is a lazy winding river…we got to see otter, fish and some beautiful birds…this is well worth the adventure
 

            We are not up to 14 Donation Drops, with the next on scheduled for Friday…a few of the drops have been made to schools…when teachers have to worry less about tools, they can educate freely…we aided in supporting hockey and educational dreams of children who work hard on their goals…We have also helped the food bank, the baby shower for indigent new moms and the battered shelter…cardboard and cans have been sent to charities who recycle them to raise money…what a great blessing
 
 


            Seven years ago…we had the idea of helping people…when I look back at how far we have come…how blessed we have been to accomplish so much…my eyes are filled with wonder and amazement…to all of my crew (past and present) and all who have donated, THANK YOU…we will continue to do our best…
 
Carry On,


The Girly Pirate
