This one goes out to my buddy Barry, who seems to have a need for lots of coconut water for his moments of R&R. As my regular readers know, I’m coo-coo for coconuts… I’ve written a double handful of articles about them, eat them on dozens of different ways, fill my truck with them, and […]

Roadtrip Stop : Lakeridge Winery
Out on the road today with my family as well as SB and his, and we saw an old friend, Lakeridge Winery. http://www.lakeridgewinery.com My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon, 15 years ago, strolling over their grounds, celebrating the start if our lives together, and enjoying the wine….wine that we’ve since called a […]
Elevated Kayak Seat
I spend lots of time in my kayak. And since I usually have quite a load in it between me, my fishing gear, possibly dive gear, a battery, and a motor, I sit rather low in the water. This means I tend to sit in a pool of water most of the time. Add in […]
My 2013 Lobster Mini Season Results
Every year, the Florida lobster becomes the obsession of a large mass of people…Some of those people only go diving the for the two day mini season, making them far from skilled divers. No, not all of them…but enough that I usually avoid lobster mini season. Since I dive for part of my living, I […]
Prep Item Review: Happy Squeeze Coco Products
Browsing through the isles of my grocery store, on my mission of procurement (buying groceries), I often look for good items to stock for hurricane season, or other unfortunate circumstances. I stare longingly at the cans of SPAM (on sale this week, too!), sardines, canned fruits, and of course the beef jerky. Much of it […]
Treasure Coast Sleigh Ride
Lately, my work has slowed a bit, allowing me the free time to go fishing. And it has been such a blast! Last week, I went on what Scott, one of the founders of Back Water 2 Blue Water fishing club called a “Treasure Coast sleigh ride” – hooking into a large game fish, in […]
Sweet Green Mango Ceviche (And Easy Lime Hollandaise Sauce)
I’ve been VERY obsessed with fishing lately. The guys over at Back Water 2 Blue Water fishing club have been very instrumental in getting me on the water more, or at least providing opportunity to go out and learn to catch fish. Providing me the opportunity to go fishing is sort of like taking an […]
Snapshots
Look at this picture. I took this while camping, somewhere in the Georgia mountains from the base of Amicalola Falls. The location was a state park, our camp was back behind the top of the falls. This picture has frozen for all eternity (at least until the data is lost) a slice of time. […]
White Grunt
Yesterday, I posted a picture of a fish I caught locally. Known as a White Grunt, this unassuming fish is much like the pineapple, it is one of the small cornerstones to Florida’s early development. Its been said many times (does repetition make a statement into fact if repeated often enough?) that when Henry Flagler […]
Back Water 2 Blue Water Kayak Fishing Club
Two guys I swap fishing lies stories with have been working on gathering a list of folks that want to go kayak fishing. They have loosely put together an email list and a text message group for the sole purpose of getting folks that fish out of kayaks together to expand their fishing locations, abilities, […]
