Tho Dorian doesn’t seem to be making a landfall near us still heed warnings and start preparations now. Be safe everyone and if you have disabled or elderly neighbors check up on them and make sure they have what’s needed.

Happy summer everyone! Remember to enjoy our natural wonders even if it’s just passing by and gazing to the trees, many areas are way less fortunate when it comes to the wide array of outdoor fun we can have here.

Paddle Sailing

I like to paddle and sail around the area -- mostly at the St Marks light house. I was previously sailing a canoe that I modified and added a dinghy sail to. The canoe got a bit too banged up over the years, so I recently got a 14 foot kayak and added a sail made for kayaks to it. I've been doing this for years and it's very enjoyable. Less boring than just canoeing or kayaking and more exercise than just sailing.

Canoe and kayak sailing is great in this area. They're the perfect boats to sail because they're generally durable enough to handle the many oyster shoals and rocks and they can navigate the shallows easily. There's usually a decent breeze at the lighthouse and sometimes there's even too much wind to sail, even with your sail reefed. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more in this area (it's more common up north and in England). It's also easy to sneak up on wildlife, which has it's upsides and downsides.

The great thing about it is that it doesn't have to cost much. There are always canoes and kayaks for sail on Craigslist and you can often even find sailboat parts like masts and sails there too. There are also places that sell kits to mount sails on canoes and kayaks or you can make your own mounts.

If anyone would like to try it out, I'll be at the St Marks Lighthouse late Saturday and Sunday afternoon (barring thunderstorms). Just message me. I'm interested in promoting canoe and kayak sailing, doing day trips for exercise and in taking extended trips along the coast.

Lake Ella looks clean from afar but up close there is a ton of small trash. We don't have to drive to a beach to make a difference. We can pick up trash anywhere at any time. It only takes a can do attitude. Host your own pickup by just choosing a time and place!
