I spoke to Snookie on Friday(15th) evening. She had just arrived at Captain Hiram’s at Marker 66 in Sebastian, FL. Thanks to the generosity of two of her staunch supporters in New Smryna Beach it was pre-arranged for her to enjoy a long weekend of R & R at this lovely resort. She said she had enjoyed a delightful day with the wind at her back and the sun on her face. We agreed that this is surely a pretty time of year in FL. She is happy with her progress and assured me that she will be on time to paddle the final leg of her journey on May 30th.
Meanwhile it gave me great pleasure to tell her that as of Friday she had raised $3400 for Discovery boat repairs which is an amazing amount for one person – but then we all know that Snookie is an amazing person don’t we?
We are accepting donations so thank you to those of you who have already donated and thank you in advance to those of you who plan to do so. Visit www.marinediscoverycenter.org for more info.
Closer to the date I will share with you all the plans for her local friends to join the flotilla which will escort her to the Marine Discovery Center on the morning of Sunday, May 30th. So circle your calendar now and watch the blog.
