30Aradio

Stinky's Fish Camp is celebrating their 8th anniversary on 30A April 1st (for real)with a huge crawfish boil, live music all day, and the kickoff to their Pompano Fishing Tournament. Chef Jim Richard joined us to talk up 8 years on 30a, and some insight on a great artificial reef system being put in across our local waters through a SWARA (http://waltonreefs.org). Music by www.stantonmoore.com "Big 'Uns Get the Ball Rolling"

Bring your funky beach cruiser to the 2nd Annual “30A Sand Rover Rally,” presented by Land Rover Gulf Coast. Land Rover and beach cruisers of ALL MAKES AND MODELS are invited to the event, which will be held at Grayton Beach State Park on Saturday, April 11th, 2015. Last year, over 40 vintage Land Rover and beach cruiser enthusiasts attended the inaugural 30A Sand Rover Rally, which was featured in the Summer 2014 issue of ROVERS magazine. This year, we expect an even bigger turnout, and this year, the Editor of ROVERS magazine will be here! www.30asandroverrally.com

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENTS:

Based on the feedback that we’re receiving, we’re expecting a very large turnout this year, and parking at Grayton Beach State Park is limited. If your vehicle is “show quality,” you might consider skipping the trail rides and getting there early to secure a parking space. If the first parking lot fills up, there is an overflow nearby, just a short walk away.

Please note that each vehicle will be responsible for paying a $5 fee to enter Grayton Beach State Park. The park has public restrooms, however, please note that you’ll need to bring your own food and beverages, as there are no food options available inside the park, aside from a couple of vending machines.

Please note that alcoholic beverages are not allowed on any State Park property.

Please do not park on the grass, sand or dirt in Grayton Beach State Park. All vehicle tires must remain on the pavement.

What's happening at Gulf Place this spring and summer? The 3rd Thursday Wine Walk-a-bouts, new tenants, and a huge summer concert series to name a few. Check them out online www.gulfplacefl.com for all the details. Music by the Hawaiian Riddim Band. www.gulfplacefl.com

Run Across Congo

In May 2015, a 7-marathon, 7-day expedition along the shores of Lake Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo will raise awareness and funds for the inspiring female coffee farmers, farming families and cooperatives working toward gender equality in the region.

An all-women team of runners will participate in the first ever Run Across Congo, supporting and celebrating the resurgence of the Kivu Region through empowering women in farming communities. Runners will traverse the Great Lakes region of Africa for 300km and include stops in farming communities with whom organizing partners, On The Ground and Twin, have existing relationships, including coffee cooperatives and local officials.

Awareness and funds raised from Run Across Congo will have several long-term impacts, including gender equality and women’s empowerment programs, creating access to knowledge, land and income beyond coffee. Funds will be used to empower and educate female farmers to run their own lives and businesses and create a brighter future for coffee communities affected by civil war in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

We traveled West to catch up with Donnie Sundal and Boukou Groove in Destin, FL. If you don't see Donnie playing on 30A, you'll probably catch him at www.neptonerecording.com, state-of-the-art recording studios in Old Destin. Where did he get his sound from? ROTC or choir? We cover all the bases with one of the area's local music legends. www.boukougroove.com

Great Whites in Panama City Beach? 700lb Makos in Navarre? We had to reach out to our friend Chris Fallows with Apex Shark Expeditions in Cape Town, South Africa. Chris is a legendary part of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, and also is an avid stand up paddler and studies Great Whites in the #1 location on the planet. Thanks to Chris for giving us insight on what to do if paddling with the man in the grey suit….and the likely hood if he will star in Sharknado sequels.
