I was 19 the first time I saw the Ocean...Traveled from Nellis AFB to LA...after drinking all Night...I believe it was a six hour drive...I kept thinking it was above us, and why didn't it come crashing into us.. And at that point, I knew..that I had to live near it....A Year later I was stationed in Kunsan ROK right on the Yellow Sea..A little different perspective, as it was Beach...with Barbwire, Mines , and Gatling Guns..ROK Marines killed 56 NK that year...Got lucky and spent two 35 day TDY (Temporary Duty) In the Philippines...Indian Ocean...Birthplace of Sea life... and all Life.

Discovered the Keys in 84, drove down to KW...and thought, I want to live here someday..took another 22 Years...Worth the wait...Just spent the last 4 hours in the Water...Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_20160407_144416.jpg  Views: 1  Size: 82.7 KB  ID: 81204
