The morning after the big CT landing celebration and an over-the-top dinner at Hog Snappers with my kayak family, a small group of us are sitting in the lobby of the Jupiter Waterfront Inn, slurping coffee and eating bagels. Still groggy from the night before, I relished the morning...sitting amongst good friends, hearing Deborah’s infectious laugh, and listening to Gus & Steve talking about the questionable maid service (unbeknownst to them, someone had short-sheeted both of their beds).

Last week, I completed the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail (CT). When I arrived home, my 13 -year old dog Annie and her stubby tail welcomed home someone who was physically, mentally & emotionally exhausted.
During the past week, I have been trying to get my shit back together. Yes, I just said that. I've transitioned from the comical challenges of paddling my final 100-miles to a humongous (self-induced) to-do list. Don't worry, the list is fun,...except for your typical home-owner stuff. After returning home, what was important to me this week was resting...and doing things to replenish the soul...Disclaimer: It involved saltwater. I am so grateful for all the support I received, especially the last 100-miles and I just wanted to let you know my next blog post is in the works. Until then.... Dorsey CT34 |
