Night 2 on the raft.

So... Day 2 has come to an end. The river was beautiful, but was not very kind today. The Weather man says it's going to be even less so over the next couple of days. They say it will start raining Saturday, storming on sunday. This is getting more interesting by the minute.

I just learned that our little campaign has garnered national attention. The USA today had an article in yesterday's states section and Shephard Smith talked about it on Fox news. The local media has been wonderful, but Our goal was just to have everyone know in the basin. Mary landers at the savannah morning news wrote a great piece today and the picture featured my oldest son Zeke fishing on his first vist to the dock.( I apologize for not including links to these news spots, truth be told I can't figure out how to copy a link from this iPad.) it's wonderful to see all of the attention, i hope the message of coming together as a basin is getting through. If nothing else comes out of this, I hope that all of the elected officials throughout the basin hear and take to heart the Message of a need for unity and cohesiveness in decisions made concerning the savannah and the 1.4 million people that drink out of the savannah daily.

So...back to the most important part, the weather. Mr. Allen built me a wind shelter this evening. It has made being in the "living room" portion of the raft much more bearable. They tell me we almost have broken the 100 member mark. That is a good number of members, but we need a bunch more. The weather is really supposed to head south starting tomorrow evening. So,PLEASE help spread the word, rally and help me beat the thunderstorms Sunday. And, if you havent joined yet, you can go to www.savannahriverkeeper/savannah500 and join today.
