Ahoy,
After collecting the funds…it was time to hand them out…I
was busy with my dissertation this year so, did not get as many pledges as
usual…still, I was happy with how we did…I know both the food bank and the
shelter were happy to get the funding…it is a privilege to help those who cannot
help themselves…I felt blessed
Zephyr Park was a fun appearance…war vets who walk the park
requested I come walk with them- they wanted to show support in ending violence
in the home…it was interesting to hear stories of the world from people who
were actually there…great afternoon
Pine Island in Hernando County is every paddlers dream…great
launch, bathrooms and an outdoor shower- paddler haven…lol…it was amazing to
note the vast dichotomy of wildlife around the island…I was able to take
several children on their first boat ride…it was fun and they got to have a
great time…it was like taking a wiggly puppy, thank God for good balance
Honeymoon Island was beautiful as always…the weather was too
chaotic to get on the water, it was really disappointing…we did get to walk the
beach…the sand was warm and really hydrated from the rain…on our way off the
Island we stopped at the nature station…we got to meet Ranger Bill who took
time to educate me on the environment that is the Island…really cool
May you have a great summer…
Carry On,
The Girly Pirate
