Where is home? I have a few now including the mid-Atlantic where I spent 11 mostly happy years (winters aside!) in a funky little neighborhood by the Chesapeake Bay. My old stomping grounds are in Florence’s path and I’m hoping she just goes out to sea! No one wants what’s she’s offering! Today marks, Read More

I love the Benwood as a night dive! It’s hard to get lost since it’s a wreck and the nooks and crannies provide endless places for creatures to hide out. I posted about it the first summer we were here and it remains one of my favorite sites for a night dive.

Finally! The water is a warm 84, the wind is calm, the seas are flat, and the vis has been awesome! Is there anything better than wetsuit free diving? I think not! What are you waiting for? Come to Key Largo and dive with us!

The Florida Keys are home to some tremendous paddling! The mangroves and ocean flats are teeming with life. I can’t get enough of being out there and we’ve lived here almost 2 years now. The mangroves and flats are my everything here. They’re where I go for exercise, peace, and to simply reconnect with, Read More
