Good First day. Easy knee high surf launch. My fully loaded boat was stuck to the sand so Sarah offered me a shove. As I cleared the surf I looked back and saw my wife walking out of the water soaking wet. I guess she pushed to hard and went in head first. She was a good sport and it only cost me a new outfit.

The weather was perfect with just enough overcast to keep the heat away. The water was smooth and soon enough we were at Capinteria SB trying to decide were to land.

The lifeguard directed us to the south end of the beach for a landing. We then found out that the hike and bike campground was at the north end so we had to haul out gear by hand. The campground was nice but they wouldn’t let us check in till 4 so we spent three hours sitting in front of the gate.

We met some nice people that directed us to the local brewery. We sat and told stories about Miah to everyone around. Many beers were clanked in his honor. If you are in the area make a stop at the island Brewery.

Today the Rogue Otters set out on their kayak expedition in memory of their good friend Miah Johnson and to raise awareness for the Vasculitis Foundation. Here are a few pictures of Brett, his family and Jerry getting ready to head out.
