Nothing much to say here but a nice walk on St Augustine Beach.

Well the journey is underway.  Last night in Savannah and I shot a video this AM while walking the river front.

The Adele pictured here is a 180 foot sailing yacht registered out George Town.  Current ownership is confidential but it was originally owned by Jan-Eric Osterlund from Sweden and he sailed it to all corners of the world and wrote a book Called "Exploring with Adele".

The Savannah port is one of the busiest in the world.  The dredging and expansion plans are pictured on the right and the workman of the river is also pictured.  Tug Boats.

  Always so beautiful!

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Friday June 29, 2026.

Man oh man is it toasty outside!  I'm out here at 8 AM and it is so calm and flat that you breathe the same breath of air twice.  The water is incredibly low and the clarity is about as good as it gets.

The snook are still under the dock and the Sheepshead just hangs with them in the video today.  Pretty quiet on the bird front besides some Ibis and Crows.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 8 AM

Air Temperature: 80°F - high of 91

Wind Direction & Speed: SW at 2 MPH - not enough!

Tide Stage: High at 10:30 AM and Low around 5:30 PM

Moon Phase: FULL - rise at 8:30 PM

Water Conditions: Low, Flat & calm

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Leave Every Dock, Park, and Beach Better Than You Found It

One of the easiest ways to care for the lagoon takes less than a minute.

On your next walk, fishing trip, or paddle:

• Pick up a few pieces of litter.
• Recycle what you can.
• Secure loose trash before heading out by boat.
• Encourage kids to make it a game.

Small actions multiplied by thousands of residents make a noticeable difference. Community stewardship is one of the reasons so many people are proud to call the Treasure Coast home.

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Look for Homes That Fit Your Hobbies

A home should complement the way you live.

If you love the Indian River Lagoon, consider features like:

• Space to store kayaks or paddleboards
• Room for a boat or trailer
• Proximity to public boat ramps
• Easy access to parks and waterfront trails
• A garage or workshop for fishing and boating gear

A house that supports your favorite activities often brings more day-to-day happiness than one with an extra room you'll rarely use.

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Friday June 26, 2026.

Happy Friday.  It's the weekend report!  Today I'm back on my dock.  Yesterday after volunteering for ORCA in the morning I went up to Melbourne for the evening to meet up with a friend.  We volunteer gardened in a beautiful spot that is right in the middle of the Eau Gallie Arts District.  What a fun and vibrant little area!  We gardened at the Yoga Garden which is a nice house converted to a yoga studio and the surrounding "yard" is an unbelievable permaculture.  I'll photo next time I go.  I didn't want to be too invasive on trip 1.

Here are a few shots from the Eau Gallie pier and looking back at Squid Lips on the lagoon right after the beach bridge.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Bring a Pair of Binoculars Along

Whether you're walking a trail, sitting on a dock, or enjoying your morning coffee by the water, a small pair of binoculars can completely change your experience.

You might spot:

• Ospreys carrying fish back to their nests
• Roseate spoonbills feeding in the shallows
• Bald eagles soaring overhead
• Dolphins surfacing quietly along the shoreline
• Brown pelicans gliding inches above the water

The Indian River Lagoon rewards people who slow down and take a closer look.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Man is the lagoon alive today. 

Birds -  grouchy, the little blue heron, Egret, pelicans, ducks, osprey, everybody is out.

 Fish - lots of mullet, huge snook, & Sheepshead all swimming about.  Even a nice sized blue crab down by the boat house.

Pelican Island Audubon Society

Long before conservation became a mainstream topic, local residents came together to protect the birds, wildlife, and natural habitats of Indian River County. Today, the Pelican Island Audubon Society continues that mission through education, advocacy, habitat restoration, youth programs, field trips, native landscaping initiatives, and volunteer opportunities. Their mission is to preserve and protect the animals, plants, and natural communities of Indian River County through education, advocacy, and public awareness.

One of my favorite parts of their work is helping people experience nature firsthand. Whether it's bird walks, student education, conservation projects, or helping residents create wildlife-friendly yards, they remind us that protecting the lagoon begins right in our own communities. They also support programs like River Kidz and environmental camps that introduce young people to the incredible diversity of the Indian River Lagoon.

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Don't Just Buy a Home. Buy Into a Community.

When you're searching for a home, pay attention to what happens beyond the property line.

Ask questions like:

• Are there active volunteer organizations?
• Does the town host festivals and farmers markets?
• Are there parks, trails, and waterfront gathering places?
• Do neighbors know each other?

One of the reasons people fall in love with Sebastian and the surrounding Treasure Coast isn't just the beautiful homes. It's the sense of community. Buying in a town where people care for one another often adds value that never appears on a listing sheet.

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Thursday June 25, 2026.

One more day working for ORCA this week.  Today is nursery maintenance day down in Vero where we grow the plants that we planted on our living shoreline here in Sebastian.  A beautiful early morning under a massive live oak tree that shades our nursery!

Then I stopped by Hogan Yards which is just off US1 between Aviation and the citrus museum.  What a place!  4 covered pickleball courts, Orchid Island Brewing is onsite, a real live onsite BBQ smoker was already fired up.  Huge outdoor play area.  I met toe nice couple who owns the place and they were super nice.  Go visit them and drink some beer with them.  Great facility!

💬 Community Question

What's your favorite preserved natural place in Indian River County?

🌿 A favorite trail
🚶 A waterfront park
🛶 A kayak launch
🐦 A birding spot
📸 A hidden scenic view

It's always fun to discover new places through the recommendations of fellow residents.

Water Conditions: It was nice on the dock when I ran down there.  Water level is very low after all the west winds we've had but now that it's out of the East the clarity has gone down some.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Explore the Lagoon Without a Boat

One of the best things about living on the Treasure Coast is that you don't need to own a boat to enjoy the Indian River Lagoon.

Public parks, fishing piers, kayak launches, waterfront boardwalks, and nature preserves provide incredible opportunities to experience the lagoon from shore.

Whether you're watching dolphins at sunrise, spotting a roseate spoonbill along the shoreline, or enjoying an evening breeze from a public dock, some of the best lagoon memories are completely free.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Todays wildlife was me watching tadpoles that were scurrying about in our planters.  The ones we took the Sparatina grass out of were loaded with tadpoles.  Predator free living!

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Visit the Neighborhood More Than Once

Buying a home isn't just about the property. It's about the lifestyle that surrounds it.

Before making an offer, visit the neighborhood:

• Early in the morning
• During afternoon traffic
• In the evening
• On a weekend

You'll get a much better feel for:

• Traffic patterns
• Noise levels
• Neighborhood activity
• Nearby parks and trails
• Whether it truly fits the pace of life you're looking for

The best home is one that feels right long after the closing papers are signed.

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Wednesday June 24, 2026.

Another morning back at Riverview Park doing some volunteer work for ORCA on the buffered and living shoreline.  Tomorrow I'm down at the nursery and then I prepare to take off for a 10 day stretch to North Carolina!

Water Conditions: Calm and flat.  It's hot and still!

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Pay Attention to the Mangroves

Mangroves are some of the hardest-working plants in Florida.

They:

• Stabilize shorelines
• Reduce erosion
• Provide nursery habitat for fish
• Shelter crabs, shrimp, and juvenile gamefish
• Help improve water quality

The next time you're on the lagoon, look closely along the shoreline. Many of the fish you enjoy catching likely spent part of their lives hiding among mangrove roots.

The health of the fishery often starts in places many people paddle right past.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

It was so hot and still that the only thing moving besides us were insects.

Environmental Learning Center

Located in Vero Beach, the Environmental Learning Center (ELC) has spent decades connecting residents and visitors to the Indian River Lagoon through hands-on environmental education, guided experiences, conservation programs, and community outreach.

• Lagoon education programs
• Summer camps for children
• Kayak and pontoon eco-tours
• Native plant education
• Citizen science initiatives
• Community environmental events

One of the most valuable things organizations like the ELC do is help people build a personal connection to the lagoon. When people understand an ecosystem, they're far more likely to help protect it.

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Think About How You'll Use the Home, Not Just What It Looks Like

It's easy to fall in love with a beautiful kitchen or a stunning view, but the best home purchase decisions are often based on lifestyle.

Before making an offer, ask yourself:

• Where will guests park?
• Is there room for a boat or kayak?
• How far is the nearest boat ramp or beach?
• Can you comfortably age in place if your needs change?
• How much outdoor maintenance will the property require?

A home should support the life you want to live, not just look good in photos.

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Tuesday June 23, 2026.

Today I'm off at Riverview Park downtown to the site of our Buffered and Living Shoreline.  Today was in conjunction with CCA, the Coastal Conservation Assoc, the same people who co-hosted the fishing tournament this weekend.

While we were there we installed 150 50-pound oyster reef balls and 150 Sparatina grasses that live above the waterline but are tollerant of seawater.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Wind Direction & Speed: SW at 2 MPH - not enough!

Tide Stage: Low at 12:30 AM and High around 6:30 PM

Moon Phase: First 1/4 - rise at 1:45 AM

Water Conditions: Flat, calm, and clear

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Start Your Day by Looking Up

Most residents check the weather. Longtime lagoon residents check the sky.

A quick glance upward can tell you a surprising amount:

• Ospreys hovering often indicate baitfish activity.

• Brown pelicans diving suggest schools of fish below.

• Frigatebirds soaring high overhead can signal offshore feeding activity.

• Egrets and herons gathering along shorelines often point to changing tides.

The lagoon is constantly giving clues. The birds are often the first to know what's happening beneath the surface.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

The bait fish were jumping but we were so busy working I didn't do a lot of wildlife viewing.  One thing you couldn't miss was a bull shark cruising up and down the beach.  The dorsal fin never broke the water but you could see the silhouette of its body being traced by the water as it swam along.

• River and shoreline cleanups

• Environmental education

• Habitat protection

• Community outreach

• Advocacy for responsible stewardship

• Support for local conservation initiatives

Why does this matter?

Everything that happens upstream eventually affects the lagoon. Healthy rivers mean cleaner water, healthier fisheries, stronger seagrass beds, and better wildlife habitat throughout the entire estuary.

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Waterfront Views Don't Always Mean Waterfront Costs

One of the hidden gems along the Treasure Coast is finding homes that enjoy water views, lagoon access, or nearby waterfront amenities without carrying the full price tag of direct waterfront ownership.

When evaluating a property, consider:

• Distance to a public boat ramp

• Community docks or marina access

• Walking distance to the Indian River Lagoon

• Nearby parks and fishing piers

• Insurance and maintenance costs

Sometimes the best value isn't the house on the water. It's the house that lets you enjoy the water every day while keeping more money in your pocket.

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Monday June 22, 2026.

Holy cow is this a fishy report.  Between the fishing tournament that we hosted at Sebastian Saltwater this weekend to the massive groups of snook lying under the neighboring dock, the has cover and I use and will be reporting from frequently this summer.

I even did a bonus dock report on Saturday if you want to see the snook heavy video but todays had a good bit too!  To see Saturdays Report click me!

Moon Phase: First 1/4 - rise at 1:30 AM

Water Conditions: Choppy with occasional white caps cresting.  A north wind is always our coldest wind.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Learn the seasonal rhythms of the lagoon.

One of the joys of living along the Indian River Lagoon is noticing how the ecosystem changes throughout the year:

• Summer brings baitfish schools and afternoon thunderstorms.

• Fall often brings some of the clearest water.

• Winter welcomes migratory birds.

• Spring kicks off spawning activity for many fish species.

The more you pay attention, the more the lagoon feels like a living calendar rather than just a body of water.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

The snook under the dock are amazing.  They are here to breed and look at this big momma sitting down there!  I counted over 25 snook in that one frame!

I even got a good pic of 2 Sheep Head snacking on some barnacles.  I've never caught one in the lagoon but they are in here.

 A momma dolphin and her baby blew through briefly too.  Good day on the deck doing laundry!

🎣 Dock Report Bonus Fact

A single healthy oyster can filter dozens of gallons of water per day, which is one reason oyster reef restoration has become such an important part of Indian River Lagoon recovery efforts. Healthy oyster populations help improve water quality while also creating habitat for fish, crabs, and other marine life. 🦪

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Look beyond the listing photos.

Professional photography can make every home look spectacular. Before making an offer, focus on the things the camera doesn't show:

• Age of the roof

• HVAC system condition

• Insurance costs

• Flood zone status

• HOA rules and fees

• Traffic and noise at different times of day

A beautiful home is nice. A beautiful home with manageable long-term ownership costs is even better.

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your WEEKEND waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Friday June 19, 2026.

It's pleasant this AM with the sun being blocked by thin clouds.  They say there is a 75% chance of rain today but also 92 degrees.  That could be an uncomfortable combination!

Grouchy is on the dock today and a few pelicans as well.

We host a big fishing tournament at the restaurant this weekend so Mondays report should be filled with amazing photos of lots of our offshore species represented.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 8 AM

Air Temperature: 79°F with a high of 92

Humidity: 88%

Wind Direction & Speed: South at 3 MPH

Tide Stage: Low at 9 AM and High around 2:30PM

Water Conditions: Calm, flat and low with good clarity.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Learn the local winds.

On the Indian River Lagoon, wind direction often has a bigger impact on boating, fishing, paddling, and water clarity than temperature. A light west wind can create a completely different experience than a stiff east wind.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

I documented the birds above but I also took 2 fun side videos today.  One is glass minnows swarming on the surface.  See that video here.

I also made a video of a pufferfish swimming past a hermit crab just for fun!

Here's the skinny on glass minnows from Dr. Google.

Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Thursday June 18, 2026.

A hot and sticky morning on the dock.  I don't get USA network on my TV and the US Open is on so I'm hanging in the clubhouse where we do get that channel and popping out in between sweat sessions on the dock fishing.  I did catch a feisty catfish this AM on a frozen sandflea.
