My wife and I spent a week in Florida, visiting locales such as Arcadia, Lake Okeechobee and Port Canaveral. We were entertained by friends from East Tawas, MI amid 70 and 80 degree weather and sunny skies. Cold beers, frequent trips around the park on a golf cart and steaks for dinner made for an experience we will soon not forget. We spent our time away from friends exploring the sugar cane fields of south central Florida, Deep Sea Fishing 20 + miles into the Atlantic Ocean and fresh seafood at sea side restaurants. The following are photographs from our latest adventure.

Jeremy runs out of the Atlantic Ocean, fearing the size of the next wave. Some have said I look like a Jelly Fish. What do you think?

Black Fin Tuna are amongst some of the fish caught aboard our fishing trip. While I did not catch any fish this large, I was happy with the smaller fish I caught and the time spent with my wife aboard the Atlantic Ocean.

One of the nicer fish I caught aboard the Miss Cape Canaveral was this Red Snapper. While not a legal size to keep, it did look nice the few moments I had it on the boat.

While our family was freezing under more than a foot of snow in Michigan, I was enjoying an ice cold Heineken, fresh shrimp and pepper crusted Tuna.

Lake Okeechobee, while at the shores of it banks resembles more of a swamp, is indeed classified a lake. Recent years of drought has lowered the water level leaving Lilly Pads sticking out of the water in a rather defiant way.

Well, the good people of the state of Florida can rest easy now that you have returned home. It appears as if you had a fantastic journey that yielded equally fantastic images.
