Personal # 7


So, technically I haven't spent the time outside yet (that starts tomorrow). But I'm leaving for a Bahamian cruise tomorrow afternoon, and much of the time on the cruise will be spent outside, so I figured I could count it as outside time. My outside plans include (but aren't limited to) snorkeling, swimming in the ocean, laying by the pool, sipping drinks on the deck, and just relaxing in the sun. I think that everyone should try spending their time outside just like I will be on this cruise. I cannot wait to spend hours outside enjoying what nature has available for us.

Last weekend in addition to traveling to the beach on the east coast on Saturday, I went out the very next day, but to the beach here on the gulf coast. We went on my friends boat out to Key Waden in Naples. It was really great because its only accessible by boat, but it got really crowded really fast. We spent a few hours along the beach enjoying the sun, sand a few cold drinks and the cool blue water before calling it a day.

Last weekend I went out to Fort Lauderdale beach on the east coast and went SCUBA diving with my friends. We had a really great time and ended up saving some money by swimming out from the beach to a reef that was only about 300 yards off the sand. We saw a variety of reef fish including angels, sergeant majors, parrots and butterflys, wrasses and gobies. We also saw quite a few banded eels poking out of corals. Sea fans and sponges also dotted the reef. We spent about 85 minutes on the bottom, pushing out air tanks to the maximum. It was a really great time outside.

For this journal I decided to discuss one of the many trips I've taken up to the Cecil Webb outdoor shooting range at Babcock ranch and wildlife preserve. This is a place I have frequently shot at multiple times. I really enjoy spending time at this outdoor range because of the diversity of people visiting, and the feel that you get the best of both worlds. You can spend time outdoors in the awesome Florida weather, and shoot any gun, or bow and arrow that you bring along with you. It really is a great experience.
