I’ve never found a flatworm of any kind diving in Bonaire before this trip. I was looking at a juvi spotted drum (love them!) and right next to it was the flatworm! So excited! We only had a GoPro with us but we still managed to get some decent footage of it. (video and, Read More

We just returned from four fantastic nights aboard the Juliet; a sailing & diving charter. We’ve never done a live-aboard before. We’ve always favored land-based accommodations to explore topside when we weren’t diving and now I see we’ve overlooked an awesome way to spend a few days. (video and pics to follow)

I FINALLY saw a sawfish! Seeing a sawfish has been on my Keys bucket list since I learned about them. I’ve spent hours and hours searching the mangroves for one. They’re so unique looking, there’s nothing else like them. Most of my friends here spend their days on the water diving & paddling and, Read More

If you’re in Bonaire to DIVE, DIVE, DIVE then you’ll likely have a day on land before your flight home. What to do? Go see the donkeys at the sanctuary! I promise they’ll make you laugh harder than you have in a long time! Your visit also allows the sanctuary to continue providing for the, Read More

I feel lucky every time I get to see a manatee. Just last night I came across a group of six on my kayak, what a great way to end the day! I hope you’ll be lucky enough to see them while you’re here in Key Largo. Read on for my top spots to, Read More

Welcome back my little friends! I can (and do) spend hours watching these magical birds all summer. They’re especially fun to watch in late summer when they become territorial over feeders & aerial battles ensue. I just put all three of our feeders out yesterday and am patiently awaiting my first visitor. At the, Read More

Hello from the Keys! Weeks 2 & 3 flew by. It’s been rainy & windy with just a few nice days mixed in. We had so much rain this past Friday we could have kayaked in our yard. Yesterday was the first sunny day in 5 days and I’m so glad it was a, Read More

Hello from the Keys! We’ll be down here for about 10 weeks & I thought it’d be fun to write some regular posts about our life here, both the good things and the bad things. When we travel I always write down my first impressions of a place and my parting thoughts at the, Read More

Whoa – that went by fast. I created this blog exactly one year ago today. If you told me then that I’d be writing the first post of 2016 from Key Largo outside on our deck I wouldn’t have believed you for one second. Last year it was freezing on New Year’s and we, Read More

Oh hey there! Long time no talk … I’ve been outside soaking up every single second of my favorite season! This is precisely why we need to go where it’s warm for good! There’s no reason every day of the year can’t be this way. Summer is flying by! It’s hard to believe it’s, Read More
