Row, Row, Row your boat



So it's been a while.. been pretty busy this past week with AmeriCorps/Island Institute business.  Prior to the short trip off-island I had the pleasure of watching my first rowing competition from Smith Point.  Vinalhaven won all three heats.  The photos along the side show start to finish the second heat in which VH won by multiple boat lengths.















The conference of Volunteerism at the University of Maine @ Orono was a nice break from things and the experience was shared with a couple hundred Maine AmeriCorps members.  Following the conference the Institute ran training sessions for GIS and story telling techniques.
This weekend I am pleased to say I will be stuck at another conference, this time one devoted to the sustainability efforts/measures of Maine Islands.  Bill McKibben will kick of the event on Friday night followed by a Saturday encore from Ben Hewitt.  More to report from that after the weekend.
The comprehensive plan is beginning to raise many questions as to procedures to carry-out the process.  I have been trying to wrestle the idea of a timeline for this and keep detouring my energy to other projects, both related an unrelated to the plan.
Well that is all for now.. I'll post more soon. 'til next time
