Blow Boaters Vs Stinkpots

Over the years there have been contentious exchanges between sailors and power boaters. Sailors often think they possess superior skills compared to those that operate power boats. Which is somewhat true, a sailor must know how to use the wind to get from point A to point B. Power boaters just point.

Thank You, 2025: A Letter from Dutch Oven Bread Co.

As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on a year that was full of both visible milestones and quieter, deeply meaningful victories. This was the year we renovated our bakery, opened the doors to our long-awaited retail space, grew our team, and refined our products into something we’re truly proud of (while still learning every day). Entrepreneurship, Family, and Personal Growth It’s … Continue reading Thank You, 2025: A Letter from Dutch Oven Bread Co.

Bobby G Talks Love

Love, Laughter and the Little Things that Matter Valentine’s Day hits a little differently depending on who you’re talking to, and after hearing from a few couples, one thing is clear: there’s no rulebook. It’s shaped by habits, humor, kids, timing, and sometimes just a simple gesture. I went into Toni & Joe’s Patio in NSB and realized pretty quickly it was a great opportunity … Continue reading Bobby G Talks Love

Editor’s Letter: Still Dating After “I Do”

My husband and I have been together for six years now and are coming up on two years of marriage in April.

I work weekdays, he works nights and weekends. So our dates are rarely … Continue reading Editor’s Letter: Still Dating After “I Do”

Bobby G Sets Sail

Christmas Cruise: Laughs, History, and Doing Nothing Tiffany and I started our Christmas cruise by getting up earlier than we wanted and pointing the car toward Miami, already in vacation mode even though the sun wasn’t fully on board yet. Somewhere along the way I missed the exit. Normally that’s just annoying, but this time it turned into a win. We were hungry, so we … Continue reading Bobby G Sets Sail
