Journey 20
June 1 & 2, 2005
On June 1 & 2, 2005 a 15 year old boy was provided a deep
sea fishing trip off of Long Island, New York. This young man has been
wheelchair bound for most of his life and has limited arm strength and
daily challenges.
Bob Rocchetta of Rainbow Charters gladly provided the journey
for this young man at a greatly reduced price. He has special equipment
that allowed this young man to roll his wheelchair right onto the boat
with no worries. Bob was even able to accommodate his limited arm
strength with an electric reel.
The day was beautiful with calm waters, after about 3 1/2 hours
into the journey they had to return to the dock as the young man and
his guardian both became sea sick. No fish were caught but they had a
memorable adventure and great experience anyway.
