Is It Really That Unique?
Have you ever heard of a friend describe a place as a Vortex? A Vortex being as a calming place, one that you go to when you need to re-energize or recoup. There are many of these places around our earth and each person might have a different reason for why that place is that […]
Dodging a Bullet – Hurricane Irma
The last week has been nothing but a stress ball for millions of Floridians. Sitting on the edge of your seat staring non-stop at the television as Hurricane Irma slowly crawls towards you.

Hurricane Harvey
I was watching the coverage of the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and reliving last years events in my head. Crawling into bed, I couldn’t get it out of my mind so I went onto Facebook and was looking through pages to see if people were posting real-time images. That was when I found the Cajun […]

By now you’ve heard about the storm that tore through Cedar Key a few nights back. What started out as a small Tropical Depression, gained some strength into a Tropical Storm and moved up to full blown CAT 1 Hurricane Hermine made for a night we’ll NEVER forget. Yes, Cindy and I became two of […]
First Day of Summer 2016
With June 21st being the first full day of summer, we decided to make the most of it and spend the day on the boat. Dropping it in the water at the Cedar Key Boat Ramp, our plans were to float up to Manatee Springs which is a First Magnitude Spring that flows into the […]
