Beach cleaning
We hit the beach a few weeks ago. Not for a kite session, surfing or a siesta on the sand, but to join a beach and mangroves clean up day that was taking place at the lagoon of Grand-Cul-de-Sac in St-Barth . It often happens to us to walk around to collect a trash here and there on our days at the beach, but this time it was with a little more people around, a working force I would call. Young people got involved, working hard out, walking tight inside the mangroves to grab the garbage stuck in there and carrying all of it in their little plastic truck toward the big truck. Some older ones were taking care of the beach side.
It was amazing to see the amounts of plastics, bottles, fishing lines and cans. Being part of the beach clean-up with only a couple dozen people was a reminder that it really doesn’t take an army to make a big difference — an individual can have a large impact.
A small community at work, the power force united, good vibes…and a cleaner beach on this planet.

Hey Alex! Great to hear from you and your aspirations!!!
“we are all on the same boat!” no need for thanking us ;)
where are you from?
Take good care,
Claudia and Tassio.
Hi Claudia and Tassio,
i think its not a matter of course that people care about our planet. Thats why i am always lucky and thankful if others do so. Still thank you! ;)
I am from Switzerland. The small country with cheese, chocolate and bad banks like UBS or CS. :-S
Please don’t think we are all rich, there are only a few who really are (1% rich people owns 99% of all the money!).
Anyhow, me and my girl trying to get the money together to discover the world in a sailboat. For the moment we enjoy sailing on a small lake where we have to share the space with allot of motorboats. But soon we get closer to the see. In April we will have our first experience on the see (French coastal) and soon i hope, we get our own boat. Hopefully without a rusty story like yours… Actually we planning to buy a plastic vessel which could rather have osmosis.
We are dreaming of discovering at the beginning the mediterranean sea and later crossing the Atlantic. It would be a pleasure to meet you two someday in the Caribbean. :-)
In the meantime i will follow your blog and looking forward to all coming posts and pictures.
They keep me motivated to not let my dreams die while sitting on a computer in an ugly sticky office every day.
Hope I don’t bore you to much with my story and sorry for the bad english.
Now I wish you all the best!
Take care
Alex

In that case you are welcome Alex :D !!!
You don’t bother at all with your story and don’t worry about the english, its not our first language as well.
Keep the stories coming man! We are super glad that our story is motivating you!!
I was in Lago di Como once (not quite switzerland but close by) and there was some strong winds going on over there. Imagined you must have fun on that lake….
Nice to hear that you will keep following us! Hopefully we will put boats side by side one day, if not in the caribbean somewhere else.
Lets keep dreaming,
Tassio.
