GOREE

We have been in the ICW about a month and we have repeatedly seen this man, in a strange little boat rowing along the waterway. Same man, same boat. A few weeks back, we googled him and found out that he is rowing for a cause. His brother died of AIDS and so he is raising money and awareness for this cause. He started in Africa, rowed across the Atlantic and is now rowing up the Ditch to NYC, his end destination. Sounds crazy to me, but we have taken to keeping a close eye on him since we cross paths so frequently. Check out his WEBSITE and his FACEBOOK page and support his cause! And watch out for him on a waterway near you! You can also follow along with his travels on Spot (located on his web page).


Can you believe he crossed the Atlantic in this thing?!

Koa always barks his hello when he goes by:


This time we are actually passing him!

**Side note: this is a huge joke on our boat - this guy, rowing his little boat, has managed to lap us multiple times while we have been in the ICW. Due to either staying in one place visiting friends or boat troubles, we have been moving so slowly that this guy has passed us at least four times! HA!
