Well here I am, back in the saddle, riding down to Venice, Louisiana. It has been a wild ride to get back down into the thick of things, but I made it, thanks to you guys! ...And the support of the yoga community at large. Awesome! I really can't thank you enough for getting involved. It is such an important time, as the media and the government tells us that the spill is over, all is well. Move along. (Cough, cough, bullshit.).
I promise to tell you the truth, and nothin' but the truth, as I see it.
I have been so lucky to make some fine alliances. Team turtle now is comprised of oceanic ambassadors from all walks of life! We have turtle biologists, boat captains, an airplane pilot, a navigation company, yogis, and activists. Most importantly we have you!
Yesterday, was my first opportunity to get back on the water. We cruised Barataria Bay. I had an opportunity to see Pelican Isle, and the degradation of our fine feathered friends habitat. I met a pod of super enthusiastic and sweet dolphins. Luckily, they seemed pretty healthy. I got a chance to see oil in the marshlands, on the grasses and on the shoreline. As we got in close to the barrier islands, the boat prop churned up some mud bottom, which also churned oil and brought it to the surface! That was interesting to me, and this is our mission. Bringing the truth to light.
Today, we get to focus on the motivating factor of this mission. We get to go offshore, and search for sea turtles! Yes! I have been waiting, for what feels like my entire life, for this day. I'm excited!
I will let you know how it goes. I'll send you some pictures and all that jazz later... but I just wanted to break radio silence, let you know I am back on the scene. Wish me luck! Time to get on the boat!
