11 years today.
It’s hard to wrap our hearts around how much time has passed since the day Perry was lost at sea, yet not a single day goes by where his presence isn’t felt—in the morning breeze, on the water he loved so deeply, and in every light we continue to shine in his honor.

Navigating this journey without him will never be easy, but walking it alongside all of you has given us a strength we couldn’t have found alone. Through the Perry J. Cohen Foundation, his passion, kindness, and love for the sea continue to touch lives every single day—and that is entirely because of you.

To our amazing community, near and far: thank you. Thank you for your endless support, your kind words, and for ensuring Perry’s legacy remains vibrant and strong. We are forever grateful for every one of you who keeps him in your hearts and helps us carry his light forward—year after year. 💙🌊

If you get caught in a rip current, remember: DON’T FIGHT THE OCEAN. 🌊
It’s natural to want to swim straight back to shore, but fighting the current will only exhaust you. Instead, memorize these three steps to stay safe:
1️⃣ Stay Calm: Rip currents don’t pull you under; they just push you out.
2️⃣ Swim Parallel: Swim sideways, parallel to the shoreline, to escape the narrow pull of the current.
3️⃣ Float & Signal: If you can’t break free, flip onto your back, float to save energy, and wave your arms for help.

Today is World Oceans Day.
The ocean gives us the air we breathe, regulates our climate, and sustains every living thing on this planet. Its future, and ours, rests in our hands.

Today, on World Environment Day, a stands before you with a simple truth: climate change is not a distant threat. It is here. It is now. And it is of our own making.
Climate Change is often spoken about as a scientific issue, an environmental issue... an economic issue.
And it is all of those things.
But above all, it is a moral issue.
The science is clear. Human activity-the burning of fossil fuels, the destruction of forests, and the relentless exploitation of our natural world-has altered the delicate balance of the Earth’s climate. We are witnessing the consequences in rising seas, devastating wildfires, prolonged droughts, stronger storms, and the displacement of millions of people.
We share this Earth with extraordinary life forms and countless species that have no voice in our political agendas yet whose futures depend upon our choices.
We are stewards of something precious, and stewardship carries an obligation.
The good news is that action is not reserved for governments alone.
Businesses, communities, and citizens all have a role to play.
We can support clean energy.
We can protect natural habitats.
We can vote, advocate, educate, and inspire.
We can choose participation over indifference and courage over complacency.
Let us meet this moment with urgency, equal to the challenge before us. Let us act not out of fear, but out of love-for our children, for one another, and for this extraordinary planet we call home.
For the sake of those who will inherit this Earth, and for the living world that shares it with us, let us commit ourselves today-not tomorrow.
Hope is not passive optimism. Hope is action.
Hope is leadership. Hope is the determination to protect the forests, rivers, oceans, and wildlife that sustain all life on Earth.
Let history remember this as the moment that we stood together, stepped forward, and chose to act-because this responsibility belongs to all of us.

Before you leave the dock this summer - know these four rules.
• Always wear your life jacket - every person, every trip
• Know VHF Channel 16 - it’s the emergency radio channel + have an EPIRB on board!
• File a float plan - tell someone where you’re going & when you’ll be back
