    Hey all.
    Just thought I'd share.Not sure if you caught the now national story about the 2 boys that are missing at sea after the boat they were in capsized? Huge search from The Carolinas to South Florida is underway.Day 4 now.it happened Friday.
    These kids are local boys from my area of Jupiter/Tequesta FL and one of them is from a family that are my good clients I know very well.
    Good folks who are just torn up right now.Our whole community is on eggshells right now. These boys ,like most who grow up here are fully experienced on the water and it's been a part of their life since they were very young.Jupiter Inlet can be a blender in a storm and that's what happened as they were leaving the inlet,they got caught in a violent storm.But if any salty little grommets can handle this its these tough little dudes.

    The Gulf Stream dips in to the coast at its closet point here in Jupiter and that current really sent everything northeast out to sea and up the coast.As we approach day five of the search I feel pretty helpless and want to do something so I thought I Would start by asking my friends here to keep these 14 year old boys who possibly are struggling to stay alive after almost a week in your thoughts and wishing these families a happy outcome.Thanks guys.It can't hurt right?

    You got it, rr.

    ^^^ Same here, rr. Good thoughts and wishes going out for these folks and you too. We had a similar experience here last years. It's tough times and important to stay close and reach out. Best wishes to all involved.

    We've been doing the same at work trying in any way to help the family. I think there's a fund set up to help the family in the very costly search for these 14 year old boys. I wish the family and their friends well in the successful return of the boys to their families.

    I'm here in S FL and I haven't heard anything as yet. I certainly hope those are the boys are found though, what a miracle and relief that would be for their families.

    I know shit's always going on, going down (and those missing boys - among so many others - are in my mind).

    Still, need the release in order to take all that in, hopefully process it, and let it go from its mental compartment to make room for the next one(s).

    And...to just be happy in these precious moments.

    So my release - by which I was blown away and elevated to a new level of smiling:
