These are posted on our YouTube channel with the links below. Strictly amateur videos of some of the hikes, snorkel and paddleboard adventures we have had. The ones out West really give you a sense of scale and wonder.
Cruise Videos and Excursions
How We Did Harmony of the Seas
This is a funny video of how my family enjoyed just some of what Harmony of the Seas has to offer – we cruised twice on the Harmony in 2019 and had a blast. Not everything made it to video, but what did was a lot of fun.
Roatan, Honduras Snorkel
Without a doubt, the best reef I have snorkeled. Such a colorful collection of coral, fans and sponges on the ridge. This was an excursion of our Western Caribbean cruise aboard Harmony of the Seas.
Cozumel Reef Snorkel
Snorkeling Cozumel just off shore is an easy float, as the current takes you across reefs that go from 10 to 30 feet deep. I added some fish identification to this one, to the best of of my research. This was an excursion of our Western Caribbean cruise aboard Harmony of the Seas.
St. Maarten Swim and Snorkel
This really wasn’t reef snorkeling, but we did see some cool ballyhoo and the clear waters of the sandy French side beaches were awesome. This was an excursion of our Western Caribbean cruise aboard Harmony of the Seas.
Backyard Wildlife
Fawn’s First Days This was a pretty stunning surprise that happened right in front of our backyard trail camera. Fawns in the backyard is an annual occurrence for us, but not on film like this! NEW! for 2020

Georgia Mountains
If you want to see what it’s like from the driver’s seat going down the road from Black Rock Mountain, watch the new video “Leaving Black Rock Mountain” – but hold on tight, it is a wild ride.
