24 Hours in Bimini
Fifty miles due east off the coast of Miami, the islands of Bimini emerge from the turquoise-green sea. This tiny dash of the Bahamas, only 10 square miles in all, consists of two islands, North and South Bimini, and a few uninhabited cays. Its proximity to the blue waters of the warm and swiftly moving Gulf Stream current and the big game fish it attracts—bluefin tuna, sailfish and blue marlin—have drawn sports fishermen here since the 1920s, none more famous […]

The sky in Miami has a way of continually catching you off guard and awestruck by the beautiful, unexpected ways that it changes. I took […]

Wine & Food (& Boats) In South Beach
This time of year in Miami, everyone’s favorite thing to do is complain about how busy we are. We talk of that thing called “season” and how we haven’t had a moment’s rest since Art Basel. And it seems February has reached the fever pitch. Within about two weeks time, we’ve had the Miami International Boat Show, Art Wynwood, Social Media Week, and The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. We find ourselves saying ridiculous things like, “OMG, […]
