Unfinished Projects – Motorizing a Kayak
About two years ago, BlueTang and I did a kayak dive trip, dropping our kayak in the Intercoastal Waterway at Jimmy Graham Park, paddled up the Intercoastal to a narrow spot on the beach, portaged our kayaks and all of our dive gear across, paddled out about a mile, did an hour scuba dive, then […]
Goliath Grouper Catch and Release
Here is a story of something I would never experience had I not lived here. Makes me happy to be where I am. I went fishing with a friend today, and had a rather unique experience. He happens to work at a local nuclear power plant, and have access to their property, so the two […]

This morning, I was reading another such newsletter from The […]
Drying Fish – Kingfish
I was given a fresh-caught a couple days ago, and promptly sliced up some steaks and fried it. Lovely! Kingfish is a mackerel, one of the larger ones. The offer a nice fight, and if properly handled and prepared, a tasty meal.
Gear Review: Hotsnapz Reusable Heat Pads
I live in Florida, the southern half, way down south where bananas grow. But even here, we almost get frost. And when the temps dip into the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, water temps drop FAST. Since I get into swimming pools for my work, I have had to face getting into water that was in […]
