Got my toes in the sand...

"Got my toes in the sand..." was filmed this past Saturday. We went out on our Yamaha Waverunner's to do some wave jumping and exploring the South Florida coast. It was a typical day until we ran into a broken Sea Doo. Pretty typical for these waters. This particular jet ski ran out of coolant. We tried filling it back with water but unfortunately did not have enough. Not to worry, the Sea Doo recovered and continued on with its day after stopping by the local boat ramp!

We prefer Yamaha because they are water cooled from whatever you are riding on. Many people believe that salt water will kill this engine but with proper flushing at the end of the day with Salt Away there has never been an issue. Reliability is key when going far away from home! Also, to keep the sun out from our face we had some Hoo Rag's with us, pretty cool product and has many uses. We did not run into many creatures, just a crab that we were able to get on film near Key Biscayne National Park. Enjoy the video!

Why Shelby is awesome...

Because she is the luckiest girl in the world! Shelby loves riding without doors or the top in my Jeep Wrangler JKU! She is a big girl and almost 11 years old. I remember when we drove through Gatlinburg with the family and Shelby had her head out of the window. One of the locals saw her and said "Awww look at that little girl." Shelby is more like an iceberg LOL At least that't what we call her. She has a small head and a 114 lb body. She is a pure breed Golden Retriever. When we had Morgan he was a huge fan of the Mustang GT Convertible I had at the time. He loved riding with the top down. I remember the first time we invited him for a ride he thought the Mustang was some sort of a transformer! But after one ride he was hooked!!!

Gators?

We went out to see the meteor shower that was slated to come down today in the wee hours of the morning. It is supposed to last a few days actually. Unfortunately it was pretty cloudy so we did not get the full view we expected. We decided to drive down some deserted road in the middle of Florida and look for gators. We did see some, but catching them on camera was close to impossible. Tested out the new lights on the jeep though! Thank god we kept the top on the truck today, the mosquitoes were buzzing all around us. We thought we saw someone riding a bike out in the distance but turns out it was just the fire flies coming back and forth probably investigating what this 4000lb behemoth was doing on their property!

A beautiful sunset I took on the way home from work

It was a beautiful sunset as I drove home from work today. Decided to snap a quick picture :) I took this out of the Jeep Wrangler. We don't get many nice sunset's like you guys on the west coast of the US! I once camped on the beach in California and let me tell you, the sunset's there are breathtaking!

The calm after the storm...

After the rain that we were getting recently, I decided to stop by the beach on the way to work today. It was such a beautiful sight and such a beautiful day! I took this on the Hollywood Boardwalk.
