The Santa Fe River is one of those rivers that once you paddle this one river, you’ll have a different outlook for the normally bustling, somewhat overcrowded State of Florida. Most think of Florida and instantly think of crowded beaches, Orlando and it’s Mouse which includes too much traffic to contend with, or the wild […]
Good intentions are so easy to put on the back burner, no matter how good they seem. I remember when we first got to Florida, we had big plans of paddling all the rivers, photographing as many of the State Parks as we could, the lists we made of things to do was pages long […]
What do you do when you have everything you’ve ever wanted right in your backyard? You have an amazing wife, probably one of the strongest relationships you’ve ever known between two people, a thriving business and amazing friends that hang out in your backyard tiki bar on a daily basis……if you’re me, you throw a […]
“It’s been too long between visits!” Our very good friends Jeff & Jen agreed as they arrived for a week long stay with us in Cedar Key during the 4th of July festivities. The first few days were nothing short of a hysterical laugh-fest while we caught up on things we’ve missed between one another […]
Cindy and I like to take things that don’t work too well and turn them into well-oiled machines. December of 2009 landed us in Cedar Key with a monumental task in front of us. Turn a run-down motel/rv park into something that people would actually want to visit. Along the way we built a Tiki […]
We should all know my love of photography at this point. My brain does not know how to look at things and just accept them for what they are…it is always looking at everything around me and constantly throwing ideas around like…… “What would that look like in Black & White?” “What if you shot […]
With the spring weather finally hitting the Southeast, we’ve had a few chances to use the Houseboat. This was a grueling winter simply because we knew we had the houseboat just sitting there waiting to be used, but neither of us really saw any need in floating around in chilly, pretty much downright cold weather […]
Some might remember awhile back when I talked about the Ultimate Rig and what I thought would make a great combination to go out exploring with. One of the parts that made up the combination was a Floating Houseboat, or Trailerable Liveaboard. Cindy and I have talked about these for years now with ideas being […]
There are some people that come into your life that at the time, you don’t realize they’ll be lifelong friends, but years later, they’re still there no matter how long you’ve been apart, or how much distance there is between your homes. Flash back to Michigan, early 2000’s. Cindy and I were running the Red […]
I’ve spent the last 8 hours browsing, deleting, editing and smiling from ear to ear as I’ve finally sat down and went through our photos from our amazing two weeks in Maine. The coastline is so picturesque, so different from any that I’ve seen before, and so rugged. It was a totally new experience for […]
