  • Kate,

    Except for a few non existent link sources still floating around, the communication, relationships, fellowship, info sources, general geographical lessons with historical storytelling, there isn't a better place to learn more about current events for this coastal wonderland than here on your blog. We appreciate your commitment, service, and reporting you provide to us with critical life saving updates. Your support staff also should be added to this special recognition award. Everyone should feel a great appreciation for contributing a little to your successful landing spot.

  • Glad you got the recognition for this outstanding site. I send it all around the US and to Europe to friends and family who love the South Coast and the community that sustains it.

  • Big Congrats for your recognition and your "support staff" as Andrew refers to them! Thank you for all your time and effort to keep us informed.
