Making a Difference Every Day: Courtney Dombroski

Two and a half years ago, we wrote a story about Courtney Dombroski, her start-up business, Feed the Fish, and her non-profit, Eco Clean Marine. I was impressed with Courtney’s passion and drive, and wished her much success as she ventured down her entrepreneurial road.

Summer in Sedona

“It’s like someone just plopped a town down in the middle of a National Park”, says the driver of the shuttle. This is true as the city is surrounded by towering, sculpted red rock formations that are incredibly vivid against the clear blue sky. Compared to the Gulf Coast, I felt as if I were on another planet. Every driver we had, and we had a lot of them, marveled at the landscape and called sites to our attention. “ Look at the Spaceship clouds!’ Becky, with Intown Rides, said. Known as lenticular clouds, they are stationary and appear to hover in the sky.

Manatees, Scallops, and the Forgotten Coast

Bucket list items, a quick getaway, and time with friends were the motivations for a 4 day/3-night trip through the Big Bend area of Florida’s Forgotten Coast. I had been to Apalachicola a few times, but I had always wanted to explore the area further South. A seven-hour drive, Crystal River was our destination to swim with Manatees and dive for bay scallops.
