ABOUT THE COVER SOOTHE OUR SOULS: HEALING THROUGH SAILING

Soothe Our Souls (SOS), a nonprofit based in St. Pete Beach, invites those in need of healing and their caregivers to join them for a free sail on Boca Ciega Bay the first Sunday of each month.

Sam Peretz, co-founder of SOS and owner of Dolphin Landings Charter Boat Center, donates the use of his sailboats for this community service, and captains his 51-foot ketch Magic. SOS volunteers crew and lead calming exercises such as yoga and meditation.

This year’s sailing dates are September 4, October 2, November 6 and December 4. Boats set sail from Dolphin Landings, 4737 Gulf Boulevard, St. Pete Beach, at 9 a.m. and return about noon.

Registration is required. Visit www.sootheoursouls.org or call 727-360-7411.
