Day 48 – December 6

Saturday: Unbelievable. Flat calm again. Sandy Point Dyke again. The original plan was to backtrack from the end of Sandy Point Dyke around to The Weweantic, but another plan emerged as I began to gain confidence that the day was not going to be one of those,”Calm in the morning: SW 10-25 winds in the PM”, so I grabbed the chance to do some photography in Seminary Cove, which is tucked into the large area on Great Neck that has finally become a conservancy.   The picture taking cut into my mileage time, but  I think-hope- I have some good shots to share with you.

There’s been talk of a “Whoop-Dee-Doo-Dee” event to celebrate the 1.000 mile goal  next Saturday. That would be fun for me and I hope for others.   My initial challenge was all about resolve.  I am resolved that the only way the Town of Wareham can “get to a better place” is through strengthened education.  I have appreciated the  support of people who share that goal, and my wish is that people treat my paddle effort as a symbol of what can be accomplished by people who won’t give up and who join forces with other people who won”t give up. Reaching the 1,000 mile goal is not an end: it”s  symbol what people can do when they set their minds to the task. You define your goal, you divide it into “do-able” chunks, and you just hunker down and do what needs to be done to stay on track.
