When Magic Happens - Palm Harbor, FL
Bob and Chris, Stewart and Naomi, Lisa and Rallan, all recent residents of the Palm Harbor area, celebrated our slice of paradise with a 'Canoe with the Manatees' adventure.

Even when the temperatures are lurking around 60 degrees, the warm 74 degrees of the spring fed river created an enchanting adventure down the forest shrouded river. Diving perches high in the Florida Oaks, deep aquamarine pools of crystal clear water, river otters, eagles, osprey, reptiles, alligator gar, and of course.....Manatees! We don't always see manatees..but very often..Manatees happen!


For eight miles we drifted and paddled, practicing our skills of canoe pirouettes, mid-current stationary positioning, steering and flat out, all aboard full paddle sprints. With miles of watershed and surface tributaries, we explored to our hearts content. Others pass us by. We choose to have our section of the river to ourselves. Embracing the spirit of the place, letting tension escape, relaxing in the rivers embrace, imagining a simpler life.



Stealthily paddling into the shallows presented us with up close and personal, rare, opportunities to observe some of Florida's most beautiful native inhabitants. Some slipped off the logs to disappear, while others took to flight. 

Riverside homes sustained the environmental theme, with Manatee Zone warnings in addition to islander tikis, thatched huts and mermaid statuaries.  



New adventures, celebrating the incredible environment in which we live, and sharing it with friends, family and those new to the area are among the most rewarding parts of my business. As we each become more aware of our incredible habitat, we can each lift high the banner to protect and preserve. As our appreciation grows, we should commit to eliminate the 'privilege of the few' who choose to prohibit citizens access to Florida's pristine forests and waterways. 

Have you decided you've spent your last season in the ice, snow, freezing rain, and snow plow berms? Are you thinking about a new Florida home? Let me show you the best kept secrets and attractions that make this part of the Sunshine State so incredibly unique. Clearwater, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor - cities unique in character, rich in resources, lavish in opportunities to get up close and personal with natural Florida.
