i grabbed 20 rods/reels, 90 shrimp fly rigs, 30 weights, my foul weather gear, and my lunch, and took a short drive to santa cruz. we boarded the legacy out of stagnaros landing and headed out to sea with 15 kids and 7 mentors from the santa cruz boys and girls club. the captain and 3 deckhands rounded out the manifest. it was a short run, lots of really little fish, but most of these kids had never been on the ocean before, much less gone fishing. the kids had a blast, and that's what counts!

Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

I'll say it again...as much as we have all gained from Alan creating this site, I think it's peanuts to what he actually does for people at large. I have only had the privilege to be around him for about four days, but that visit left an indelible mark and I came away with a different perspective and a better person. Pay forward. We have to help the next generation.
