WE DID IT!  and Floppy Hat

YOU GUYS, WE DID IT!  We reached my funding goal!  There's still 57 hours left of the campaign, and I'm hoping I'll get  $1200 over my minimum goal so that I can afford a proper sonde (water quality probe).  So keep the sharing going.  The world thanks you for supporting this environmental endeavor (and so do I). Here's my celebratory excitement: YAHOOOOO!!!!!

When I first had the idea to do this trip, I told my friend Abby (a fair skinned red head), and her first response was, "You'll need a floppy hat."  As the first response to my idea, and undoubtedly some of the best advice around, I decided I needed to honor this Finding of the Floppy Hat.  I found this straw hat (will float, will mold to my head, organic materials) at a thrift shop.  It has two big rivets on the sides so that I could wear my silk scarf with deep sea fishies with it.  Even Mr. Blobby will be joining me! It's my token piece of "fashion wear".  I'm imagining the silk scarf to be much fancier, billowing in the wind behind me.....
