Due to popular demand, we will again have a Journey Daybook Adventure as part of the 31st annual Cedar Key Small Boat meet on Saturday, 7 May. If you are lucky, you will even get to view Holly Bird’s beautiful woodcut at Cedar Key Adventures out on the dock.
We will meet at the pavilion at City Park in Cedar Key where other suggestions for activities will be made. Those of you who have already taken part of this Adventure in other years may have your own ideas of places and subjects to include in your journey daybook pages.
This is our schedule: we will meet at the pavilion at 10AM for a few hours of sketching and painting. At 12:30 we will regroup at the pavilion and enjoy our own brown bag lunches. (These can be purchased in Cedar Key or brought from home.) At 1:30 we will conduct our review of pages, with the expectation of being finished no later that 2:15. If you plan to come to this event, please call or write Peggy Herrick at 352.278.6127, 352.543.6127 or at Journeyday@AOL.com by 1 May.
For the uninitiated: this event is completely informal. There are no planned events on the water; no signups or fees. Tides & weather ARE the organization. Colorful shallow draft boats of every description may be in Cedar Key for the weekend: rowing & paddling craft; catboats & multihulls; dinghies, scows, sharpies & sampans; prams, punts, pirogues, & pirates’ gigs. Cedar Key is renowned—being part of two National Wildlife Refuges—for its thriving food chain ashore & in the water. Among its offshore and inshore islands & saltmarsh, fishing, birding, bug swatting, tide and weather observing are as good as, or better than, many other marine destinations in the world.
We plan to have this Journey Daybook Adventure even in the event of bad weather. There are many opportunities to enjoy Cedar Key, to work and still to stay dry.
