The Cranberry Kiss Cocktail Recipe – Boat Drinks
After one sip, you'll get the urge to merge. This week's Boat Drink recipe is called the Cranberry Kiss. I'll tell you straight up that Cranberry and I have had words. Drinking it makes me quiver and I can't even look at the stuff come Thanksgiving. So why are we doing a cocktail recipe that has Cranberry in it? Because about 60% of RSR readers are beautiful women and rumor has it that women … [Read More...]

Whatever the reason, Key Crazy is a place to let your creative side shine. By no means do I qualify myself as an … [Read More...]

Video – Gulf To Ocean, A Bike Ride Down Duval Street
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit in a bike basket and cruise down Duval Street? Sure you have, wouldn't be a Castaway if you haven't.

After one sip, you'll be hoisting the sails. Rum and pirates, pirates and rum. They are forever linked by legend and Hollywood.
