My Girls and I
A New Beginning...
So, what has been happening since May 2010 (the last time I posted). I started a third job, I moved out of my parents house and into a house with my boy, I did a lot of paddling, including the Na Wahine O Ke Kai race which goes from the island of Molokai to the island of Oahu, and I have been trying to get my car fixed for the last 4 months!
So here is to 2011 and a whole new round of blogs to come!
Watching The Spitfire Grill makes me want to move out in the middle of nowhere you can be surrounded by trees and nature. A place that has seasons where you can watch the scene change right before your eyes. But, then I think there is no ocean there. The ocean heaven on earth to me. It is my church, my home, my playground. Maybe one day I will find a simple little spot that combines all of these things into one, where I can grow old. But for now, I will just have to be content with collecting all these amazing scenes and memories as they come to me. The only way to really do that is by traveling...2011 is gunna be all about traveling.
This year's list so far:
For that last trip I now have the French Tutor app for my iPod...maybe learning some French should be New Year's Resolution since I have not found one yet! I'll start now...

'Au revoir 2010, Bonjour! 2011
Sally Mann
Im in love with the photography of Sally Mann...
It is pure, innocent and raw all at the same time. Its authentic and beautiful in its own way.
Most of these photos are from her series "Immediate Family" and "At Twelve: Portrait of Young Women" and are of one of her three children in their younger years.
Enjoy.

Dolphin Fundraiser
Hey Guys!
So Sunday is my very first Catalina Relay actually racing! I have an awesome team and am super excited and nervous about the whole thing! This race is going to kick off a fundraiser I am starting for dolphins all around the world. The info is below:
My boyfriend, Jimi and I will be wearing hats for this race that I have created to jump start my fundraiser to help organizations save dolphins from over fishing and extinction all over the world. Its all about preservation and conservation.
The whole reason I started this was because of the film "The Cove." If you have not already seen it - rent it, netflix it, WATCH IT! It is extremely sad, but it is the kind of knowledge that we all need in order to save some of our favorite creatures to paddle with so they can still be here in 50 years.
This project is not for profit for myself but as a fundraiser for 4 different organizations that are trying to help dolphins survive. Each hat is going to be $20.00, $2.50 is for the raw cost of the hat and $17.50 goes to the organization the hat represents.
The four organizations are as follows:
Save Japan Dolphins - the main organization represented in "The Cove" lead by Rick O'Barry - also a strong believer in freeing all captive dolphins...food for thought...
www.savejapandolphins.org
OPS - organization for ocean preservation and producers of "The Cove"
www.opsociety.org/
Save Taiwan Pink Dolphins - yes pink dolphins! They are only found in Taiwan regions and are endangered!
taiwansousa.blogspot.com/
WDCS United Kingdom - Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society United Kingdom and their efforts to protect their dolphins and whales - you can even adopt a dolphin!
www.wdcs.org.uk/
Jimi will be racing for the Save Japan Dolphin and I will be racing for Save Taiwan Pink Dolphins on Sunday! So if you want to check out the hats, find out more about the organizations or are interested in donating to any of these organizations by buying a hat come find us or contact us!
Thanks for your time and have fun this weekend!
