Jeremiah interviews Stanley, a blind paddler, on a podcast called "Connect the Dots." Stanley was introduced to paddling as a way to get out of the house and mingle with other veterans. The paddling program provides all necessary equipment, including paddles and life vests. Stanley emphasizes the importance of teamwork and listening to the sound of the paddles hitting the water to maintain synchrony with the rest of the team. He states that paddling conditions can be challenging, with wind and ocean conditions making it physically demanding. Despite these challenges, Stanley enjoys the sport, particularly the camaraderie with his team. He also mentions that paddling has helped him improve his mobility and sense of balance. Stanley encourages anyone interested in paddling to show up, be ready to be part of a team, and learn.
