The weather's been fantastic down here in Paradise (Marathon Key, Florida), only playing a few jobs, but that's OK when you have so many other things to enjoy. Here's some photos from the past weeks at Marathon, including my newfound friend, a huge manatee that propably tips the scales at more than 800 pounds.

When you're out on a mooring ball, the inflatible is the best mode of transportation to and from other boats and the marina.



Watching the sunset with a green coconut margaretta is something magical that takes place every evening.



Here's a snapshot of my new friend. He shows up nearly every afternoon looking for a handout.

Now you know what paradise looks like,
