  • Grassy Waters Preserve – West Palm Beach’s Piece Of The Everglades

    Posted on April 8, 2018

    I can’t believe that we only recently heard about this place. It’s fabulous and very accessible to all South Floridians, being just west of West Palm Beach. There is so much to do and see here, you will want to visit time and time again. The preserve is quite large with 23 square miles, and […]

  • An Afternoon At Historic Deering Estate In Miami

    Posted on October 27, 2016

    As the temperatures start to cool down in South Florida, I begin to – reluctantly – think about things to do that don’t involve getting into water. Miami is home to a few hidden gems, for example Vizcaya and the topic of today’s post, the wonderful Deering Estate. Both were owned by brothers Charles and […]

  • Marathon – Secret Sandbars And Kayak Fishing In The Florida Keys

    Posted on October 15, 2015July 17, 2017

    No Boat – No Problem Newsflash: I still don’t have a boat. Hence I am swiftly becoming a kayak expert all over South-Florida and The Florida Keys. I absolutely refuse to let the ‘no boat’ situation get in the way of having fun out on the water just like ‘them’, and neither should you! You […]

  • Whiskey Creek – Kayaking Amongst Murder and Prohibition

    Posted on June 19, 2015October 18, 2019

It is nestled between the stunning natural (and largely very quiet) beach, and the intracoastal waterway.  It’s very easy to miss. I have known […]

  • Kayaking the Wild and Scenic Loxahatchee River In Jupiter

    Posted on January 22, 2015August 13, 2019

    If you want to see ‘old Florida’ and century old Cypress tree canopies and the wildlife accompanying this unique habitat, then this is a great day out.

  • Boating Close To Home: Haulover Sandbar And Beercan Island

    Posted on August 20, 2014April 3, 2016

    An Ode To The Blue As far as I am concerned, boating in Florida is not an option. Let’s face it, if you live in a hot and sub-tropical State that consists to a large degree of re-claimed swamp land, and boasts hundreds of miles of inland waterways, as well as being almost entirely surrounded by the ocean, you […]
