When I first visited the island in the '80's, these fan corals were the most vibrant shades of purple and red. Though coral bleaching has been a problem over the last decade, some places are slowly making a comeback. So excited to see the veining and patches of color returning.

Want to help keep these corals thriving for years to come? Remember to choose reef safe sunscreens. It's not only the law, it helps keep the natural ocean biome balanced and healthy.

Did you know we have A/C units at the house, but they're largely unneeded as the trade winds provide a natural cooling effect, sweeping up Mt. Bordeaux and straight through the house!

A little rain often brings a rainbow. Don't let the forecast get you down; chances are the daily rain will probably be gone by sunrise.
