Nancy and Tom arrived at Tybee Island early on July 11. Check out their latest journal entries. The Purpose of Paddle for Water Water, one of our most essential natural resources, is the inspiration for this trip. Something so essential to all living things requires our respect, attention and care before necessity dictates more drastic measures.
Some areas experience too much water in the form of floods.
Some experience too little water. Chances are, no matter where you live, clean water available for your use is threatened due to misuse or short-sightedness or neglect. The uniqueness of a transcontinental canoe trip, we hope, will help inspire people we meet to help conserve our water resources and give some thought to water in their lives. Education and personal responsibility are the ways we see clean water can be plentiful in our lives and in the lives of our descendants. We shouldn't wait until shortages, contamination, or other threats necessitate changing our lifestyles.
