happy fish

happy fish

Usually when you leave a restaurant, you might see mints or matchbooks to pick up on your way out. We were leaving Lazy Days Restaurant after lunch one day in Islamorada (79867 Overseas Highway, Oceanside), when I saw these happy fish. They were on display in a big empty aquarium, perched in coral and placed around on the sandy bottom. … Read More

Birthday evening.  A margaritavillesque birthday evening.  Last year Bluwatermom & I celebrated my birthday at the real Margaritaville.  This year is our at home version….Buffett and beach music, coconut shrimp, margaritas and key lime pie with Bluwatermom and Bluwaterguy.  A couple of days off from work and a long weekend.  It was also fun to get “bluwater birthday” wishes from… Read More

Finding a new writer to read – and better yet, a whole series of books – is like finding a great sale on the very thing you needed and didn’t even know it, a chance to make new friends and go to new places, and a treasure hunt – all rolled into one.  My personal high water mark for this… Read More

finally ~ spring

Something fabulously important happens today just around lunch time.  The Vernal Equinox is today @ 1:32PM EDT….meaning it’s OFFICIALLY SPRING!!  It’s Spring, it’s Spring, it’s Spring!  Spring, Spring, Spring, Spring, Spring!  Today we have equal amounts of daylight and darkness, followed by 3 months of ever increasing daylight.  We’ve had a few Spring teaser days already this year, but now it’s official. … Read More

sunny mango cucumber salsa

The weather this weekend was beautiful…a taste of Spring, still 29 days way.  February has been mostly bitter cold. I had my 2nd (and final!) orthopedic surgery earlier this month for my (mostly recovered) broken leg, and then started physical therapy. With painful surgery, physical therapy and freezing weather, I was in desperate need of a sunny weekend. We sat… Read More

Sunset and moored in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda between the Bitter End Yacht Club & Saba Rock (latitude 18N 30′ 6.35″ longitude -64W 21′ 35.02″). This is one of the ultimate “5:00 somewhere” moments. We spent an unforgettable week sightseeing, sailing and diving in the British Virgin Islands on a Moorings crewed sailing charter. Our sailboat was a… Read More

virtual beach sand & sounds

In the inaugural www.bluwaterlife.com poll, the first question was “Where is your favorite blue water?” The majority response was “Any water viewed from a white sand beach under an umbrella with a drink in my hand.” OK….on a cold rainy day in January, I can go for that.  Right now a trip to blue water is a long way off… Read More

From the Mark Twain short story The Stolen White Elephant –  He took a pen and some paper, “Now – name of the elephant?” “Hassan Ben Ali Ben Selim Abdallah Mohammed Moise Alhammal Jamsetjejeebhoy Dhuleep Sultan Ebu Bhudpoor.” “Very well. Given name?” “Jumbo.” At this point I laughed out loud. As I was in the waiting area of a doctor’s… Read More

tiki bar new year

tiki bar new year

The tiki bar is open! It’s a very rare blue moon full moon New Year’s Eve. This is a night calling for tiki style if there ever was one. I’m still hobbling around, so things take more effort and time – and patience has never been one of my virtues. Last bluwaterlife posting was a bit of tiki history. With… Read More
