Happy Halloween! Sail Orcas, the Maggie in Miami fund and the Toombs family would like to thank the wonderful people who contributed and gave they’re support and words of encouragement to send a little11-year-old island kid to represent her community and region in World O’pen Bic sailing event. Thanks to this community we raised almost $6500! As of today, Maggie is currently practicing in the winds of Biscayne Bay and getting ready for the next three days of intense sailing. You’re invited to follow Maggie Toombs’ progress online at www.worldopenbicmiami.com or on Facebook at Maggie in Miami. We’ll be posting daily pictures and reports of her progress.

Special thanks to the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Sail Orcas and Orcas Island Yacht Club. Extra special thanks to Harriet Miller, Burke Thomas, Nate Averna and Dr. Chris White. Go Maggie!
