Join us on the SV HideAway as we explore Florida's West Coast seeking enlightenment on a course towards wisdom aboard a 23' Com-Pac sailboat.
While we love sailing, we also like to travel. See how we travel from a sailor's
prospective. Should be interesting....

- Our Sailing Hideaway Blog and YouTube videos will remain active. Join the HideAways as we tell, through blog stories and videos, what life really is like on a small, 23' Com Pac sailboat. We'll show the joys, thrills and chills of the sailing life, but also what it takes to maintain a boat, trailer and truck. You are just as likely to learn how not to do something correctly as to do it right. That's important too! New! The Hideaways take to the road! Follow Traveling Hideaway: Winds of Wanderlust Transitioning from Sailing Hideaway to Traveling Hideaways as sailors learn to travel without heeling, well, not much, anyway. The Paint Wasters Society unlocks the art of paint squandering with sheer delight, free from the shackles of remorse or guilt. Trust me, a century down the line, nobody's going to bat an eyelash, so why not indulge in some paint splattering shenanigans today? Let's turn those pricey pigments into a canvas of laughter and joy.

A Road You Should Take
It's not about how fast you can traverse this road - It's about slowing down, listening and watching the world around you. So pull up a log or comfy rock and be a part of the scene

Peek - A- Boo Hoodoo
Have you ever thought you saw something out of the corner of your eye but dismissed it? In Bryce Canyon, you may have glimpsed a very rare Peek-a-Boo Hoodoo. They like to play just at the edge of your vision. Walk slowly, carry a fast camera, and embrace a sense of playful wonder. You will find them.

Do Fish Swim In the Air?
Walking along a Blue Springs trail I saw an alligator in
flight. Now, grant you, it wasn't a large alligator-maybe five feet or so in
length, still, a flying alligator is not something you see in the city. An embarrassing few moments later, my alleged
brain determined alligators can't fly, this one in particular was swimming in a
crystal clear spring out flow stream. Occasionally, you may see a fish do the same thing
