Go Where It's Warm
Going where the climate suits our clothes!
I love a good drift dive. There’s nothing better than just being one with the sea and going where the current takes you without any thought on where the boat is, turning the dive, navigation, etc. For that hour you’re one with the ocean.
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.
The Keys are world famous for their sunsets and for good reason. No two are the same and you’ll rarely be disappointed. I love watching the colors morph until the sky finally goes dark. It’s the perfect way to end a great day of diving.
I love seeing spotted eagle rays on dives! I usually see them off in the distance flying further away but a couple of weeks ago I drifted along with one for close to 3 minutes. They’re absolutely magical! Totally worth losing my buddies for!

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
If you’re in the upper keys on a windy day, it might limit your ocean going dive & fishing excursions but it could be just right to sail on the bayside!
We love paddling the mangroves and ocean flats behind our house. It’s so peaceful out there and no two paddles are the same. We see sharks, spotted eagle rays, turtles, tarpon, occasional manatees, and a lot of other animals. The ocean facing mangroves took a beating from Irma but a few dedicated people in, Read More
Happy New Year from the gorgeous Florida Keys! This is our 3rd New Year’s Day down here – man how time flies! I started this blog on New Year’s Day 2015. It was frigid and we were dreaming of moving to the tropics. Back in 2015 we’d been talking about making some big changes for, Read More
