This morning just after 5 am, Dana Gaines stepped into his kayak and began to paddle. At 6 am he was still paddling, passing Squibnocket. At 7 am, he paddled on, approaching Edgartown. By 8:45 am, he paddled still, passing The Farm Institute.
Dana will paddle all day, until he reaches the shores of Aquinnah again- probably some time early to mid- afternoon, where he will be greeted with a Finish Line party, celebrating his efforts to raise money to save the Gay Head Lighthouse.
To follow his progress, go to the Gay Head Light’s Facebook page, or GayHeadLight.org and check back here for photos throughout the day.
