He suffered serious injuries and continues to need all of our positive thoughts and prayers.

Here are some of Nate's photographs from yesterday before, during and after the Paddle Out. Thank you so much to each and every one of you who was there and to all of those who weren't there but were thinking of us and most importantly, of Caleb. This is one incredible community that we are a part of and we have eachother and Caleb to thank for that. Nate Johnson deserves credit for these photos; they're beautiful!

Sometimes in our human frailty and confusion, we can come to think that a persons life is weighed by their fame, or wealth, or status, or power.

The true measure of a man's worth is the family and community which he finds at his side in his darkest hour.

When Caleb comes through this thing, he will always know the value of his being.

To my Aunt Sharyn,
Please tell Caleb to get better soon. Flat Stanley wants to come back to the Cape for another visit. Fremont,OH has been 100 degrees and Flat Stanley wants to go surfing and oystering.

Love, Kortni

These photo's are amazing! I wanted to say Thank you to Sky and Sharyn, and everyone else involved that is keeping up this amazing site. For someone like me, who lives far away and is not able to attend at an awe inpiring event like this, it really brings a comfort level. Caleb's spirit is inpiring and unforgettable... My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family everyday... It reminds me why we were all so fortunate to grow up on cape cod...

Thank you for taking the time to keep us out-of town cape codders updated!

Much Love -
