Day 7(Tuesday may 9th) 10pm

Today was a relaxed day for the guys filled with waves and driving. I want to talk more about the surfing aspect in this blog because I think it goes very well with everything we've been doing. A lot of why I wanted to do this project is because I love the ocean so much and spend much of my time in during the summer months. The surfing culture in Newhampshire is very small but rich with history. Many people don't believe there are actually waves here and honestly that's awesome because not only is it completely false but it also keeps people from crowding our breaks! The best part about surfing in NH is that it's a small coastline so you can pretty much surf the whole place in one day. Today was one of those days for us. We started off in Sebabrook caught a couple waves which is located farthest towards Massachusetts. After we roled up the street a little to surf in Hampton which is the center of the action in my eyes for surfing. Then we ended the day in Rye. Any farther north and your in Maine so pretty much scaled it all today. We have been filming non stop and stacking up a lot of footage for everyone's viewing pleasure. So please be patient because what we have in store for everyone in the end will not disappoint. We have been working on keeping the ocean clean as well as enjoying it. The rest of this week entails lots of emails and brochure work. Stay tuned for more!

Day 2(Tuesday/May 2nd) 8pm

A day for the ages today was with a massive beach cleanup. Today we were instructed by our project mentor to head down to Foss beach right in Rye, NH. For any of you who know the area this beach is directly in-front of Rays Seafood restaurant down the street fro Rye harbor. We met up with Rebecca who works for BOS and is the programs director. She explained to us that Liberty  M utual would be coming and bring a bunch of people. We didn't really know how many people were actually gonna show until the cars started to pile in. We had 150 volunteers at this beach clean up and it is the biggest one they do all year. It was even raining and people were still there. We had all these people and we corralled all of them under the pavilion and broke down the schedule. We introduced ourselves and handed out clip boards with a sheet of paper giving them a place to record everything they pick up. We commenced the clean up and next thing we know we have 850 pounds of trash at our feet. Yes...

Weekly reflection 1 (Sunday May 7th) 8pm

This week was a very fun week. It was a good way to start off senior project with some hard work and some fun on the side. We started off the week meeting Jen our on project supervisor who was extremely nice and opening. She helped us so much with getting out project passed and letting us into her organization with opening arms we couldn't be happier. She was able to put together a very nice schedule for us mapping out all of our time with her for the whole project. She gave us brochures and other information so we could study up on BOS. She then inserted us into the starting lineup for the Skip the Straw campaign. She told us she wanted us to kick off the project and hen have people take over this summer in our footsteps. So this was a very important task for us because we will impact a lot of people's work including our own if we are not focused. We then had a massive beach clean up picking up 850lbs of trash which was a record amount. We did this cleanup with Liberty Mutual ...

Today was a very big day for our group. We started off the day by traveling down to the Hampton beach strip to meet at the Blue Ocean Society discovery center to meet with our project mentor  Jen Kennedy for about 3 hours who gave   us or schedule and our project. I don't want to give it all away but we will be going to business local to the Hampton beach strip to try and get them to not give straws out to there customers. The straws end up on the beach and then into aquatic lives stomach which we are hear to try and help prevent. We were given some tasks we need to complete by Thursday so we can get the Skip the straw campaign moving! Stay tuned Big things to come!
