Mexico’s Haunting Underwater Sculptures: Art With A Purpose

The location is Cancun Mexico in the national marine park where coral reefs are suffering from being over-fished and over-visited.
How cool... would love to snorkel through all this.




The weather's been nice here in Palm Beach so today we took the Albury out for a sunny day Mimosa Cruise.
A nice day for a boat ride.

Cheers,

Remember Leaf Cay?

The semi-deserted island that Mel and I got a tour of?  If you're not one of our longtime readers than you probably won't, so... The original post from 2009 here.


What a wild place. The previous owner actually believed Y2K was to be the end of the world as we know it and he wanted to survive in the fashion he was accustomed to.
Our friend Karen, (who's coming to visit this weekend) informed us that it was sold to a couple from Nassau and an HGTV show about it, Island Hunters, is running in rotation right now.

Personal Sub sitting on the swim platform of our new neighbor's boat. They just left for the islands. That would be fun in the Exumas.

Just pretend.

Saw this today on Doonesbury's page... wonder, what would happen if we all did this...?
Just a thought.



We took the Shawshank Redemption approach to personal success...
After they've kicked your ass....
With a smile, be useful to many of those you loathe and never let them beat you down, slowly and methodically dig through the proverbial wall without being noticed, crawl through the sewer, wade across a swamp, finally end up in the sun and on the beach. And, most importantly, never forget your real friends.
Worked for us.
YAY!!

Happy New Year!!

2013
13 Is My Lucky Number
So Here's To A Great New Year!
Adios, 2012... You Were A Pretty Good Year... Best We've Had In A While.
Our first day of 2013 will take us to a new marina to base out of. We've decided after 4 years it's time to find us another base marina. We started feeling like the furniture around here, worn out and pushed around.
Old Port Cove seems to be a good fit right now. So, tomorrow we'll be having our Traditional New Year's Day Good Luck Blackeyed Peas and Collard Greens in Palm Beach.
A new year... a new day... a new home.

Cheers,

Istaboa
