Sunday's Kayak Trip Benefiting St. Elizabeth School Oakland is a GO!

This Sunday, May 22,  I am paddling my way around Alameda to benefit Oakland’s St. Elizabeth Elementary School. 

After months of training I'm ready for the 15+ mile voyage. Weather reports for Sunday are  looking great! 

Beautiful conditions today, May 18th, for my early morning training session. 
I paddled up the Estuary and saw NOAA Ship (S 220), Fairweather as it embarked from its Coast Guard Island berth. Seeing the 231 foot vessel turning in the narrow channel was quite a sight!
(See my course for Sunday's voyage and scenes from today's launch at the end of this post).

There's still time to make a pledge to support St. Elizabeth!

Elizabethan $8 - $16 per mile ($120 -$240, or any amount from $120 up to $300)
