Sam Millard- Blog Entry February 4, 2011 - S.O.A.R Spring Semester

This expedition we went on a canoe trip in the Florida Everglades. We went on our canoe trip for 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks we went through storms, sunshine, cold, heat and even PM (pirate moments). During the storm we went through we endured massive waves and hail, but in the end we all got to shore safely. Once we got to shore one of the boats almost sank and we were freezing cold. The next day we canoed only half a mile to the neighboring island for a day of rest. On our day of rest we had school and had PM. PM also known as pirate moments are moments where we drift away to a town called Margharitaville on the island of Rumington, created by Evan Anderson. In Margharitaville everyone on the team is in charge of something or some kind of industry and the town is a town in the Carribean during the time of the pirates. After a couple days we finished our canoe trip and headed back to North Carolina in the van.

  2. Sam...
    Posting this via your mom's ID because I had tried posting earlier but for some reason it didn't work (I need to work on my tech savvy as usual). I had wanted to respond to your terrific bio to say that I can personally vouch for your artistic talent as I am, of course, lucky enough to have a Sam original in my apartment.
    This latest post of yours is terrific. I will live vicariously through your canoe adventures and I am totally intrigued by these PM's. Sounds like a story, so I hope you are drawing some illustrations.
    Thinking of you (in an eye patch)
    Bestest,
    Cal

  3. Sam. What an adventure you are having! Those massive waves sounds terrifying - glad you made it to shore BEFORE the boat started to sink. The PMs sounds very intriguing, please keep us all posted on them.
    We all love reading your blog and can't wait to hear about your next trip.

  4. Hi Sam!

    Your expedition sounds so exciting! You must be really proficient at canoeing by now, having endured all that harsh weather! Have you capsized at all?

    What is the thing or industry that you are in charge of in the town of Margharitaville? I want to hear more about these pirate moments. However, I feel obligated to encourage you against obtaining a parrot...I have been informed that they are quite loud and somewhat filthy.

    Have you been keeping a sketch book with you? I imagine you must be seeing some very inspiring landscapes.

    Write to us again soon, we miss you!

    Much love,
    Ali
