Good morning! Today’s tea is my usual Sakura blossom with oat milk, but this time it’s on the go—no creamy foam cloud on top, just a smooth, floral boost to power me through. My to-do list is a marathon of errands today.
How’s your morning looking—easy breezy or running full speed like mine?

Sunday Smile day! Today I taught 7 year olds how to kayak and spent half the afternoon equating paddles to spoons and the river to ice-cream. 😂 Sunday @bbpboathouse.bsky.social family program is my favorite!

We also ended the day with a coastal cleanup throughout the park — helping protect the shoreline that makes this community paddling program so special. #ImpactDay

Today, I had the chance to lead Deloitte #ImpactDay volunteers in testing a new cooling station setup @bbpboathouse — and it’s going to make a real difference during those hot summer paddle days.

Good morning! Today is an early start and I’m a bit tired and achy but excited to explore a new island. We will see a lot of wildlife!

Karen: Do you want to go to Black’s Beach? It’s secluded and beautiful.
Me: Sure!
Karen: It’s a 300-step climb down.
Me: Okay…
Me, arriving: That wasn’t so bad!
Cue beautiful painting time on the beach.
Me, climbing back up later: That was still worth it… I guess?

An NYPD boat approached the ship at a 90-degree angle and shouted:
“Open the doors!”
It was surreal watching it all unfold—an event that felt so avoidable spiral into a rescue and recovery operation in one of the busiest urban harbors in the world.

Then came the full emergency response.
Buoys were thrown into the water—it looked like rescue attempts.
An NYPD boat sped up and down the river with flashing lights.
A helicopter and drone hovered overhead. Sirens were blaring on both sides of the river.

Just before hitting the Manhattan Bridge, the Cuauhtémoc dropped anchor.
Tugboats moved in and flanked it, trying to reorient it in the current. My phone was dying—I’d given my sister my battery pack. She got some great shots as everything unfolded.

After the collision I assumed they’d try to divert into the DUMBO beach cove. I told my sister, “Let’s go.” We walked north.
People nearby showed us a video of the ship nearly hitting land.
Now the ship was drifting—with current—toward the Manhattan Bridge.

I didn’t have my radio with me, but I was wishing I did.
If I’d had it, I would’ve made the call myself:
“Mayday mayday mayday. At DUMBO Ferry—Mexican tall ship about to collide with the Brooklyn Bridge.”
Instead, we just stood there, waiting for the impact.

It was on a straight path toward the Brooklyn Bridge and making no indication it would stop.
I told my sister: “This doesn’t look right.”
I kayak the East River. After the Brooklyn Bridge many more would swiftly be approaching. The vessel wasn’t slowing.

Before the impact I was helping my sister find a cab—she’d missed the 8:17 ferry.
The ship had crossed the East River from the Manhattan side and was blasting music.
According to reports, they might have lost power at this point—but music was still BLARING

You might want to sit down for this.
Last night, I saw the Cuauhtémoc—a tall ship from Mexico—collide with the Brooklyn Bridge.
Not graze. Collide.
And I caught it on video. It was loud, surreal, and entirely preventable.

I thought I’d for sure sleep in after such an emotionally exhausting night… but my brain had other plans.
Still processing what happened on the water yesterday. Holding onto my coffee this morning, because the city sure didn’t feel routine last night ☕️

A couple weeks ago, just before bed, an image appeared in my mind—quiet but vivid enough that I had to write it down before sleep swept it away. Today I finally gave it a home on the canvas, letting my brain wander back to that moment. It’s not quite finished yet, but it’s getting close. #blueskyart
