Artist's Comments

This is my friend Jerry, I met him today at the Sandbar Bar and Grill where we hold a lot of the Surfguru events..

Jerry lost his eye, most of his right foot and his back is riddled with shrapnel scars so deep one could stick their finger in one...when he stepped on a land mine in Vietnam...

Me and Jerry talked for several hours and after he was able to, his laughter was more soothing then the folk music being played..

Memorial Day is coming, remind the Children,
Dont let them forget... ....Thank the Elders and Young Soldiers...
Pray, even if your not the praying kind, for those we lost and continue to lose...R.I.P


POW*MIA
you are not forgotten
:peace:

Our soldiers give everything, including their lives. We should appreciate them more.

fer real my friend! I told ya before, we have plenty of room if ya dont mind teenagers all up in your face, cuz theirs usually a whole bunch of um around here..its walking distance to an awesome reef break or walk teh same distance the otehr way we got some killer river fishin...
if ya get board surfing or fishing, then we can go sailing instead!>...the Banana river is paradaise man....its like 90 % brackish so everything is there....hundreds of dolphins, tons of killer fish to catch....we even have a grill on the boat... ( thats the beauty of having a sailboat...a day out sailing bonds you with nature not the oil companys- i cant imagine having a motorboat with the price of gas)
and dont all surfin stories grow as we age?
I swear my husbands tale of that 1993( was it? oh god he'd kill me if he knew I coudlnt remember)Halloween swell where he was washed out the inlet at Sebastian into Monster Hole...almost died he did...- Lord let me hide before he reads me telling one of his tales...
what you arent pencil'n in a vacation yet?

I've never been sailing that sounds so wonderful as for teenagers....I surf with em (keeps me young). I cant get away from work till the tourists are gone after summer(I work at a resort) but the fall sounds good for a trip.
I'm stoked, I love meeting new people.
