Sunrise this morning at Higgs Beach. I decided to bring my camera with me today when I went to walk the beach looking for sea turtle nests and it turned out to be a beautiful sunrise.

24th Minimal Regatta – Key West
This weekend we attended the 24th Annual Minimal Regatta in Key West, Hosted my the Schooner Wharf Bar. It was sure a sight to see! The teams were required to construct their boats from the following supplies: 1 Sheet 4×8 1/4 plywood, 2- 2×4 pieces of lumber, 1 pound of fasteners, 1 roll of duct tape and no caulking or adhesives can be used.
Each team seemed to have a theme and costumes to match their boat. It was a lot of fun. I hope to remember this event for next year so I can attend again. They even gave away a prize for the fastest sinking boat and it took about 3 seconds!
Key West Songwriters Festival 2015
Last year I was so confused and overwhelmed by the amount of performers, I didn’t know where to begin. This year I did a little bit more planning and knew where I wanted to be and who I couldn’t miss. I started out at The Inn at Key West on Thursday May 7th for their pool party. Got to see Steven Padilla, Ty Bates, Ben Rue and The Darlins all while relaxing in the pool.
After making friends on Thursday I met up with the same people to hit the Southernmost Hotel Pool Party on Friday May 8th. There we got to see Arlis Albritton, Jacob Powell, Erica Sunshine Lee, Nick Norman, Ricky Young, Joal Rush, Cary Barlowe, Jaron Boyer & Chancie Neal. Whew! That’s a lot of people to pack into 1 afternoon. Erica Sunshine Lee had to be one of my favorites. After she was done performing she jumped straight into the pool!
To wrap up Friday we hit Sloppy Joes and saw Jesse Rice who wrote “Cruise” the hit song performed by Florida Georgia Line. Rhett Akins was supposed to perform but he apparently cancelled on the whole festival. It was really cool to see Love and Theft take the stage instead.
I found Chris Young … well I found his truck at least! He actually put on a great show and it was a great way to cap off the weekend.
