Scout trip to the Keys

 Happy smiling, Lobster Boy

Fishing in the "swimming hole" off Camp Sawyer.  The camp director told us that when US1 was being constructed, the highway workers dynamited this hole into the coral to have some deeper water to swim in.  It is now the swimming area for the Scout camp, but also harbors the local lobster and fish to catch!

This was a very fun February Scout outing, as chosen by Ryan.  Despite the chillier temps and the long drive, Troop 338 campers had a blast. 

No trip to the Keys is complete without a stop at Robbie's Marina to feed the giant tarpon. 

Hero retires from 28 years of military service

Our dear friend Paul retired from the USAF this month after 28 years of service to the USN and USAF.  His latest assignment with the Patrick H-60 rescue unit was filled with down range deployments to the war on terrorism in the Middle East.  He logged a remarkable 1500 hours of combat hours in close to 900 combat sorties, and earned an unbelievable 25 Air Medals.  Proud to be a friend of this U.S. Patriot.
