In someone's shadow

When at rest Vérité is always in someone's shadow.
Yes, those shadow-makers have big engines and big masts.
Why, even the clouds appeared bigger than Vérité  on Monday, June 24.
 
 
However, after the Vérité was loaded look out!






That's when Vérité's BIG attitude comes out to play.
With 11 on board Vérité  can do just about anything those BIG boats can do!
That's because we balance all efforts with a good strong cup of tea and fresh snacks.
 I bet those BIG BOATS don't serve
nice homemade crackers with yogurt/cream cheese spread or
fresh garden picked strawberries, or
peach salsa with corn chips!
Yup, that's our recipe for summer success on the water!
 
Try this recipe out:
 
Peach Salsa
1 ripe peach, cut and cubed
1 medium size tomato, cut and cubed and drained
one good glug of  La Supreme Salsa, medium, or more to taste.
Put them all together and serve with
 good sized corn chips with large curved cups
 (as you want to have a bit of peach, tomato and salsa on each bite). 
 
Actually, the peach salsa is a good test to see how well your team works together. 
 If they don't share... well,  you may need to make a bigger batch of salsa next time.
The rest will all fall in naturally after that.

Flying ducks

 
You never know when you are aboard the Vérité
what will happen.
This week ducks were flying off the 11th St bridge.
A plan had been hatched.
Well, except for one part, but
you know that old saying -
what happens on the Vérité
stays on the Vérité!
You will just have to stay tuned to find out about
"the rest of the story."

What I can tell you is the skies were blue,
the snacks great, the camaraderie beyond compare.
 



 
We are happy to announce Vérité has a new website: http://veritetacoma.org/ 
for all the youth activities.
thank you Maria!

Blue Skies - Full Boat

Simply said -
Blue skies overhead, a full boat and treats galore -
Life just doesn't get any better than this:
