Key Largo, essentially put on the map by the 1948 classic staring Bogart and Bacall, was once known as Rock Harbor. The community decided to capitalize on the popularity of the movie and insisted that their post office be called Key Largo. On June 1, 1952 the name changed. Much has changed since then, and […]

An Afternoon at Nest Key
When you think of the National Park Service, you rarely think of a beach. Yellow Stone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon come to mind. Yet, I grew up visiting a National Seashore – Sailor´s Haven, Fire Island. It is part of the National Park Service, but not a ‘Park.’ Semantics? Maybe, but I did find […]
Craig’s Famous Fish Sandwich
I’ll admit I consider myself both adventurous and educated when it comes to cuisine. An expert? Maybe, maybe not? But more importantly – I enjoy a good meal. Yes, I crave culinary creations of all kinds. Heck, at times, it almost seems as needed as the air I breathe. And through my travels I discovered […]
Sunset Sunday – Happy Mother’s Day
The sunset holds magic and memories. Many times I am fortunate enough to share that magic and memories with my Mom. And many of those occur when I visit the Florida Keys.

You know that some of the best memories of your travels come from the adventures afloat. Whether the stillness of nature, the rapids of a river, or the majesty of nature that surrounds, you […]
A Charity Casting Contest at Fat Buoyz

After so much time down here, I truly believe a show about life on the souther tip of Florida can top the nielsen ratings. But just steps away from Islamorada, the “Sports Fishing Capital of the […]
Sunset Sunday – The Florida Keys Oceanside Sunset View
Times exist when you wonder. You stare at the sky and wonder if the sun has already set or if the day still “officially” holds a few minutes. You can’t see the sun dip over the horizon. Many times this winter in Florida Keys I found myself on the “oceanside” and not the “bayside” with […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset Sail in Tavernier
The magic of a sunset seems to multiply on the water. And when you climb aboard a sailboat, well that may just be the ultimate. During my time in the Florida Keys this month I discovered Sunshine Sailing in the upper keys (MM 94.5) and just yesterday Captain Jennifer MacLean, a women of (and) the […]
