An Afternoon at Nest Key

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 […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset Sail in Tavernier

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 […]
