JBO TV will be doing a lot of work over the summer in Florida, currently finishing
editing our anniversary specials and beginning to film for our 2015 season. I
also am here writing the second edition of HOOKED and working on the
screenplay. Donna and I also have various columns we are writing to be
published later in August. Other big news soon to come out of our summer
adventures.
Cedar Key was totally Donna's idea. She had researched this
place over two years ago and she had thought about even moving here. I have
done a lot of filming in Florida over the
years so a trip anywhere in the state always makes it a bit easier to film our southern
Florida
fishing and boating stories. I have never been to this location so I was all up
for it and what a treat!! This place is REALLY authentic, probably a lot like
the Florida Keys in the early days.
Today was the first day I could really get out and check out
some sights. I jumped on my go green bike and toured the Island
and what a hoot it was. Below are some pics of just biking around for a couple
hours.
The first pic is something that is really cool. I ask the
local ranger if that was a storm cloud approaching and he said now. They call
it a “Sundog”. When the circumstances are just right the sun reflects against
the clouds and turns them a brilliant orange color, and this was in the middle
of the day. I used a polarizing lens on the camera which really helped to see
the effect.
Below are some other pics of my first trip to Cedar Key peddling
along the Gulf Coast.
