Boating - Tumblr Posts
A very South Carolinian Day. Got a call after lunch to hop in the truck with my dad cause we were going on a little ride along the Intracoastal Waterway. Next thing you know we rode from the South Strand up to Holden Beach, NC where some family friends are. They were home, so we docked the boat and visited them for a while. Of course within 2 minutes of sitting down in the rocking chair I had a glass of sweet ice tea handed to me. A custom of southern hospitality of course. We sat on the back porch, drinking tea. Now we’re riding back down the waterway snacking on some boiled peanuts. Of course a rainbow graced us for our ride back down. I love the Carolinas.
my family just bought our first boat. we boated all day Thursday and plan to boat all day today for labor day weekend
I ain’t even from America, but people absolutely deserve to see this. I’m sick of people in higher power trying to kill off the environment and lower classes just for their cockamamie schemes and bottom line.
PLEASE READ!!! I DON'T POST STUFF LIKE THIS AND THIS IS SERIOUS TO ME! ELON MUSK IS TRYING TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WASTE WATER INTO THE LAGUNA MADRE IN SOUTH TEXAS!!!
The Laguna Madre is a beautiful ecosystem that houses so many species of wild life and many migratory species of shore birds go there to eat and rest. Its all thanks to the sea grass that grows there, and after the big freeze of Texas in 2021, it is slowly making its recovery and now it's in danger again!

If Elon continues with this disguising act, nitrogen and hydrogen rich waste will be dumped and plankton and algae will begin to overpopulate and create a cloud of themselves over the sea grass causing it to not get the sunlight it needs to photosynthesize. It will basically be suffocated by the overpopulation of microorganisms and die out and so many species of animals will lose that shelter they need to feed, breed and even escape dangers like predators. This grass also feeds the endangered green sea turtle and was even given the name "Turtle Grass" for its huge importance to these creatures.
(Green Sea Turtle grazing) Not only that, but the South Padre Island is one of the largest ports in America and has many shrimping and fishing companies that rely on the environment to make a minimum wage. And once the water gets polluted, so many people can get sick or worse if they eat the fish and shrimp that have been exposed to it!
(South Texas Shrimping Boats) This is serious! And if you or someone you know lives in Texas there is a way you can make a comment and state how you DON'T WANT LITERAL SLUDGE IN THE OCEAN! IT WILL HURT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND THE VAST AND DIVERSE ECOSYTEM THEY LIVE IN!

PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN! WE CAN'T LET MUSK DO THIS!!!
Who else loves traveling on our ferries? 😍. . My heart takes a little jump of joy as it gently lumbers away from the dock... Do you like to stand on the front or back of the boat and feel the breeze and watch the water?... And then do you go back to your car to warm up and have the most deep, peaceful nap ever?... It’s ferry magic! 💕 #movingthroughourworld #washingtonstateferries #boating #onthewater (at Seattle-Bainbridge Island Ferry) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoVZA_RgOJ_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=clsa7b5pwsol

I spent the day by myself working on my boat. There is something truly relaxing about time spent on the water doing things that I love. It’s been a really stressful 2021, is been emotionally exhausting, taxing, frustrating, and has delivered a lot of hardships.
I’m hopeful that there will be a path that is illuminated for me, a path of meaningful employment that can sustain myself and my family. I have to believe that everything is planned and that this too was a necessary growth stage to help me understand my new path when it presents itself.
I have the most incredible man by my side, showering me with encouragement, love, support, and a powerful winning mindset. Together nothing will stand in our way, I’m going to marry this man.
