Katie and Jessie had to leave today to get back to their boat that was waiting in Ft. Lauderdale. Louise has been sitting in a marina waiting on a part to get shipped in, and they were notified that the new ‘Shiny Thing’ which will replace their old ‘Rusty Thing’ had arrived, so we would […]

Putting the ‘Mellow’ in Key West
Awhile back, while looking for underwater photography vacations Cindy and I could go on, I found a company called Mellow Ventures Key West on Facebook. I started browsing through their images with a passion and contacted them right away. Rob, the owner and Captain got right back with me and we struck up one of […]
Busy Before Vacation Comes
The past few weeks have been non-stop busy before we leave for a weeks vacation to head up to Minnesota to visit Derrick and Tish and celebrate my 40th Birthday. We had a ton of fun with the 4th of July weekend and stayed crazy busy here at the Motel and the Hideaway Tiki Bar. […]
Devils Den Springs, Williston Florida
I guess we didn’t realize how lucky we were the last two days until we were woken up this morning. The past two days spent at Blue Springs Campground we basically had the entire thing to ourselves. At its busiest point yesterday there might have been 10 people total in the springs. The water was […]
Blue Springs Park, High Springs Florida : Part 2
Waking to rain on the camper roof, I was worried it would be another day of huddling in the camper to stay out of the weather. Cindy woke up and made us some coffee and while we were sitting outside under the awning, the rain slowly stopped and the skies cleared up. The radar showed […]
Blue Springs Park, High Springs Florida : Part 1
I guess the Native Americas, those Yankee’s or the Florida Crackers; or whom ever it was that went around naming the dozens of springs that dot Central Florida were lacking for creative names when it came to the naming of Blue Springs. Cindy and I were planning to take a little vacation to visit some […]
Crystal River – More Snorkeling Lessons
We woke up early this morning after a great nights sleep and both couldn’t wait to get back out on the water. I had checked on Google Maps and wasn’t too comfortable with trying to motor the boat over to Crystal River through the mirage of canals and waterways leading from the Homosassa River to […]
Homosassa River – Snorkeling Lessons
Cindy and I were talking a few days back about underwater photography and the fact that it’s something that I really enjoy, and how it sucks so bad that she’s afraid to go underwater. We talked about it all night long and the next day she says to me, “I’ve been thinking about what we […]
3 Sisters Spring, Crystal River
Another Tuesday Fun Day…What to do? We had the camera gear loaded up early this morning, the truck packed and kayaks loaded onto Scott and Karen’s motorcycle trailer. We can normal carry two kayaks on our Yakima Roof Racks if it’s just Cindy and I, but we needed to haul another kayak so we chose […]
January 11th – Day 6 – Grand Cayman
Today was one of those days I had been waiting for since the first mention of the cruise had been planned months ago. I’ve heard of Grand Cayman and it’s sparkling waters for years now from friends who have visited and come back raving about the snorkeling and diving. It’s one of those areas divers […]
