I live about 30 minutes away from the beach. Every weekend me and my wife head off to the beach to unwind. If I'm lucky enough a friend of mine will loan us his wakeboard boat. But still we just love being so close to the ocean.

"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came." --Pres. John F. Kennedy, Australian Ambassador's Dinner for the America's Cup Crews, September 14, 1962, Newport, R.I.

Let me share some pics. This is our beach home. My father in-law was gracious enough to give us a home here.


This is the pool area.


This is the marina were se set off on the boat. You have to go through a small lagoon first. [


This is the boat with my dog onboard.


And this is our backyard.

Nice! Does your father in-law have any more houses he wants to give away? :)

Lucky lucky man. I lived in the Virgin islands for 2 years and there are days that I miss the sun so badly. I can get by without the corruption, nepotism, violence and economic depression, but I miss the sun and sea air. good to see you taking advantage of it, enjoy.

just want you to know that I hate you. lol. I love the ocean....if I could afford to live there I would do it in a heart beat. I always feel at peace and totally relaxed when I'm close to the ocean.

I hear ya man. I live about 15-20 minutes from Siesta Key beach in Sarasota, FL. My wife and I always go to a little out-of-the-way section that isn't too heavily populated. Nothing like the sun, sand, surf, and a cold brew...... Guess I know what we're doing this weekend :^)

I grew up on Lake Erie in Ohio. I know it's not the Ocean but seeing your pics really makes me homesick. I live in Indiana now and there is nowhere to go to get that kind lifestyle. I miss it dearly.
