Watched this young lady reel in a 45″ sand shark last evening. She was fishing with her grandfather, mother, and sisters- and very excited about her catch.
As the daughter of a surf fisherman, it brought back memories of time spent at the water’s edge by my father’s side. His daughters didn’t  have the same enthusiam – but he was a good sport teaching us to bait a hook, cast, and clean the fish (yuck).Â
These girls took turns confidently holding the fish after the grandfather removed the hook.  And, then they set the sand shark free.Â

Volunteers Needed
http://timkerrcharities.org/ Are you available this Saturday, July 3rd between 7- 9am? “Street Police” volunteers are needed at street ends (between 8th and 38th Streets) to prevent traffic from entering and/or crossing Avalon Avenue and First Avenue during the Islandman Triathlon.
There will be over 500 participants in this sold out event: a 1/4 mile ocean swim; the 12 mile closed course bike race (when you see the speeds, you will understand the need for closed roadways!); and the 5K boardwalk/beach run.
All volunteers receive a 2010 Islandman Triathlon t-shirt as a thank you 🙂
Please let me know if you can help…and your preferred location. Thanks!
P.S. Do you know a student who needs service hours? Volunteers can earn 5 hours- Midge Kerr will provide documentation for the students after the race. Contact Midge@TimKerrCharities.org for more information.
