Living in South Florida, the sea has become a huge part in my life, be it surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, boating, or simply sitting in the backyard and watching the sun paint the sky in amazing fashion as it slowly dips beyond the horizon.
Makai, meaning seaward in Hawaiian, is a simple 16’ outrigger canoe, and has given me the opportunity to get closer to the sea in ways I never thought before. Whether it is by sail, paddle or engine (a simple, 3.3hp Mercury), Makai brings whoever steps on board, closer to the water, letting us explore, party or simply enjoy a beautiful afternoon cruising down the Intracoastal Waterway. The Makai Diaries are the chronicles aboard this simple, yet versatile and hearty craft in the waters of South Florida. This is, quite simply, the Shore Life.
