Go With the (Ebb and) Flow
Kelsy Hartley and Caitlin Hopkins, Two Maine Mermaids
Super stoked to introduce you all to ‘Ebb and Flow’, otherwise known as Kelsy Hartley and Caitlin Hopkins, otherwise known as Two Maine Mermaids.
In yet another case of me disappearing down an internet rabbit hole (I’m starting to sense a theme here….), I somehow saw a post about an ocean swim in honor of the pink full moon in April, and the next thing I knew I was doing a deep dive into the back stories of these two creative and inspiring young women.
What started as a mood enhancing lark has attracted a groundswell of support and interest, and taken on a life of its own, creating an in-person community smack-dab in the middle of one of the longest stretches of forced solitude in modern memory.
It’s no fluke that I found these two hugely fun and entertaining…. See what I did there? (cue cymbal sound) (cue eye roll) (just please, please do not cue any more bad water puns….)
Find TwoMaineMermaids on Instagram, the link in their bio there will bring you to all of the good places - you can sign up for their newsletter, and also for the Full Moon Swim Series. You just might see me with them, crowned and howling at the moon (because, hello, swimming in Maine!) one of these months!
Cold water not for you? Fine, you can just sit on the beach and catch up with your correspondence - it just so happens that Caitlin is the talented creative behind Even Keel Card Co. !
