Saint Augustine Maritime Heritage Foundation, informed local Historic City News reporters that together with St Augustine Cruisers Net, and Sailors in St Augustine, are hosting an event in honor of Justin Riney of Expedition Florida 500.
What a great way to raise money for “Mother Ocean.org” than by plying the historic waters of St Augustine; accompanied by Justin Riney and his team, for a sunset cruise aboard the Black Raven Adventure.
“We will cast off the lines from the St Augustine City Marina dock, on Tuesday June 25, 2013 at 8:15 p.m.,” Michelle Bennett told reporters. “Ticket purchase deadline is Sunday, June 23, 2013 — participants must 21-years-old.”
Each ticket donation is $25.00 cash or check and can be ordered through Michelle Bennett at mb2thesea@gmail.com. There is a $1 service charge for online purchases at http://staugmaritimeheritage.org/
As part of the event, Flagler College will present a night with Justin Riney on June 25.
Riney will be paddling the entire length of the coast of Florida on a stand-up paddleboard as part of Mother Ocean’s Expedition Florida 500.
Riney will join Flagler professors as he discusses his journey as well as current marine pollution issues specifically related to Florida and its waterways.
The free event will take place in Flagler College’s Kenan Hall in Room 300 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. It is part of a two-day series of events that can be found at staugmaritimeheritage.org.
Mother Ocean is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating, inspiring and empowering ocean advocates worldwide. Expedition Florida 500 is an exploration of Florida’s coastline, waterways and aquatic ecosystems.
