ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Right along Tampa Bay is a powerful program dedicated to helping wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans.
The Warrior Sailing program operates out of St. Petersburg Sailing Center. The non-profit uses donated vessels to expose wounded veterans to the fun of sailing. Cory Kapes, the program manager, said it offers a form of group therapy. They come out here for the camaraderie, Kapes told FOX 13, to be out in the environment to leave their troubles back at the dock. It’s just about providing the environment for these guys to get out and maybe work through some of the issues that they’ve had, maybe to share with others how they’ve gotten past some of the challenges in their lives and simply enjoy a beautiful day here in St. Pete.
