Playa y Quebrada, día de trabajo # 2
No se supone que esta sea la estación seca? En los últimos días hemos visto como las persistentes lluvias han afectando la costa oeste de Puerto Rico y hoy no fue diferente. A pesar de este patrón de lluvia, más de 20 voluntarios salieron a ayudar a limpiar Playa Marías y la quebrada ubicada al lado sur.
Gracias por ayudar en nuestro esfuerzo de limpieza de playa! Su ayuda es muy apreciada.
Luis buscando basura en el estacionamiento: concentrado y en una misión.
Nate trabajando con el rastrillo. Bueno trabajo!
Marissa busca refugio de la copiosa lluvia mientras mantiene firme la "base". Buen trabajo Marissa!
Capitán Pauco Font sonriendo mientras huía de la playa en busca de un refugio durante la peor lluvia.
Brian optó por quedarse a ver el surf, y contemplar donde su próximo ola iba a ser.
Manos llenas y satisfechas de haber hecho una buena acción del día. Gracias hermano!
Voluntarios en el quebrada buscando una manera para deshacerse de la yola en la quebrada. Que comience la diversión!
Con Pauco de lider, David a cargo de levantar objetos pesados, Brian cubriendo la logística, y un comité de supervisores encargados de mover la yola.
Por último, tierra! La multitud alegre.
Vinimos, vimos, movimos una Yola. La tripulación (no aparece en la foto pero fueron parte muy importante en el proceso ... Luis, Nicole, y Marissa).
El monton de escombros de los días en que los voluntarios recogieron gomas, partes metálicas de los automóviles, basura, plástico, un antiguo baño, botellas, y limpiaron la vegetación de la playa. La Fundación Surfrider de Rincón quiere dar las gracias a todos los voluntariospor ayudar en esta fantástica tarea y la ayuda de los trabajadores municipales que limpiaron los montones de basura el día lunes.

Marias Beach and Quebrada Cleanup

Beach and Creek workday #2
Isn't it supposed to be the dry-season? The past few days have seen persistent rain squalls affecting the west coast of Puerto Rico and today was no different. Despite this wet weather pattern more than 20 volunteers came out to help clean Playa Marias and the creek to it's south.
Thanks girls for helping in our beach cleaning effort! Your help was very appreciated.
Luis surveying the parking lot for trash; focused and on a mission.
Nate at work with the rake. Att-a-boy!
Marissa seeking shelter during a passing rain shower while holding 'homebase' down. Great work today Marissa!
Captain Pauco Font smiling while fleeing the beach scene for some shelter during the mornings worst downpour. Your the man Pauco!
While Brian opted to stay put and watch the surf contemplating where his next barrel was going to be.
Hands full and amped to have done a good deed for the day. Thanks bro!
On to the creek and the infamous 'yola.' As she sits proud to the creek, our group of volunteers brainstorm removal methodology. Let the fun begin!
Led by Pauco, heavy lifting provided by David, Brian covering logistics, and a committee of supervisors handling the situation we positioned the yola for her exit.
Her bow clears the bank!
Finally, land-ho! The crowd cheers with joy.
We came, we saw, we kicked some yola stern. The crew (not pictured but important in the process...Luis, Nicole, and Marissa).
The debris pile. The days volunteers collected tires, metal parts of cars, plastic trash, an old toilet, bottles, and cleaned up random leaves, sticks, and branches from the beach. Surfrider Foundation Rincón would like to thank all of the volunteers for their fantastic help today and the municipality of Rincón for cleaning up the pile on Monday.
