Corn Islands, Nicaragua- Diving
Here it is! The full video of our trip to the Corn Islands of Nicaragua, diving, friends and awesome memories.
Paddling on the ponds
On a sunny June 28 day with temperatures in the low 70s, some paddle-boarders journeyed from Trims Pond to Harbor Pond under the bridge at Beach Avenue near the Corn Neck Road intersection. The Town Beach is right around the corner off of Corn Neck Road, which is home to the Fred Benson Beach Pavilion.

Solentiname Islands Exploring the Solentiname Archipelago in Nicaragua
Solentiname Islands Exploring the Solentiname Archipelago in Nicaragua
THE Solentiname Islands in Nicaragua are familiar to aficionados of primitivist art. Paintings by local artists depict the islands as a paradise of impossibly lush flora, exotic birds, distinctive hanging birds’ nests and people happily going about their daily lives.To visit the islands is to walk into one of those paintings.The Solentiname (pronounced so-LEN-teh-NAH-me) archipelago is a cluster of 36 islands near the southern corner of sprawling Lake Nicaragua. The islands are close enough for kayakers to paddle from one to another, but they’re far enough into the lake that a private motorboat or a public ferry is needed to reach them. Only four of the islands have full-time inhabitants, and the total population today is about 750. Yet, thanks in large part to the efforts of a Roman Catholic priest named Ernesto Cardenal, vivid art produced on the islands can be found all over Nicaragua and has been exhibited far beyond.The islands were largely unknown before the mid-1960s, when Father Cardenal, a native of Granada, Nicaragua, arrived on Mancarrón, the largest of the Solentinames, to establish a parish church. He ended up nurturing not just a political consciousness but also a community of artists that is still thriving decades later.“When Cardenal came to Solentiname, the people had nothing,” said María Guevara Silva, who was 15 when he arrived and is now an innkeeper and a working artist. “We had no schools, no boats,” she said, referring to motorboats. Most inhabitants were farmers struggling to coax crops out of the steep and rocky terrain. Father Cardenal, a sculptor as well as a serious poet, promptly set out to improve islanders’ lives by encouraging them to express themselves through art.“The first painters were me, my brother Alejandro and José Arana,” Ms. Guevara Silva said of Father Cardenal’s art project, which began in 1967. “He financed the materials and told us to paint what we wanted.” Thus was born Solentiname’s distinctive art style: highly detailed oil and acrylic paintings of idealized rain forests and watery scenes populated by white egrets, blue herons and oropendolas, the black birds whose unusual hanging nests are often seen in the paintings, too. “People discovered we could sell our paintings,” she said, both to visitors as souvenirs of the islands and to collectors interested in primitivist or naïve art.

Nicaragua Travel Vlog | A 2018 Travel Video to San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua
This Nicaragua travel vlog takes you on a trip to visit one of our FAVORITE locations we've ever been to: San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. Although there was CONSIDERABLE sociopolitical unrest going on during this Nicaragua trip, once we got out of the big city of Managua (which was an adventure all of it's own), we got to San Juan del Sur where we would make memories of a lifetime. We surfed. We hiked. We caught 40 fish in one day. Mike and Steph swam with a school of THOUSANDS of tuna and Mahi Mahi. Sam caught her first fish EVER. We caught up with old friends and made new ones. It was truly a remarkable experience and we can't wait to go back.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY - VLOGMAS
Nov 30, 2015 - Join the SHABL Crew -
Time for a a little motivation on this Monday morning which I've just dubbed Motivational Monday. If you're not happy with where you're at, you gotta change it because only you know the real deal of what makes you happy or not. Don't ask others their opinion because they are not you. I wasn't happy in my job living in Ottawa so I made a huge move and now, six years later I'm living in my own house, mortgage free in the Caribbean; who would have thought?! These are my deep motivational thoughts from Little Corn Island off the coast of Nicaragua on a Monday morning. As always, wishing you a great week.

The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (Robinson Crusoe #1)
Shipwrecked and castaway, Daniel DeFoe’s hard-luck character is still the standard for “growing where you’re planted.” Captured by pirates, he makes his break in a small boat and undergoes desperate adventures before winning his way back to civilization. But Crusoe proves willing to chance his luck a second time when, after sweating his way to prosperity as a planter in Brazil, he undertakes a voyage that isn’t needful… and is marooned on a small island off South America.
Crusoe shows the value of single-minded labor as he pursues ways to feed, shelter, and clothe himself. His ardent wish is to escape his island – why is it that the only people who come there are cannibals? But he spends more than two decades in isolation before acquiring a sidekick – the man Friday you’ve probably heard of. And who would guess his way to salvation would depend on leading a last-ditch fight against a shipful of mutineers?
