In Celebration of National Surf Day!

Sunday was National Surf Day & Father's Day and our little group made the trip to the shore at Mile Marker 12 (which has since been assigned a new number) and enjoyed ourselves.  Here is Chey practicing her surf skills.  I imagine her in 10 years as a little surfer girl, seeking the perfect wave where ever it takes her.  

And still I follow the news about the spill and that underwater cam that shows the oil gushing minute by minute and I wonder what the ocean will look like when she is that age.  Will it be as beautiful as it is on this day?  Will the water be blue?  Will it be safe?  What is going to become of the beach that we love so much, not just on this coast but all over the State of Florida.  Every drop of that oil will have some kind of impact.  The truth of what that will be, we cannot know now - and certainly the experts don't know either.  

We have to continue to pray for a miracle.

As a symbolic gesture of unity, this Saturday there will be an event, Hands Across the Sand - Jupiter!  There is a link below to attend the event via Facebook.  It is a very simple concept: 

Protecting our beaches is as easy as 1-2-3
STEP 1 - Go to the beach at 11:30 AM for one hour, rain or shine.
STEP 2 - Join hands for 15 minutes at 12:00 forming lines in the sand against oil drilling in our coastal waters.
STEP 3 - Leave only your footprints.

Hope you can join us for a show of solidarity of all of us who care about our beautiful shores and crystal blue waters.  Maybe together we can invoke a miracle!
