Parasailing is a recreational sporting activity like no other!  A special parachute glides a rider, in its harness, up and through the air while being towed behind a motorboat over the ocean.  The rider is then gently lowered down after completion of the parasail adventure.  As you have heard before, “ it is not the amount of breathes you take, it is the moments that take your breath away”!  Let parasailing in the Palm Beaches take your breath away!  Contact www.visitpalmbeach.com  or call 561-881-9557 for more information.

While parasailing over the beautiful blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean you’ll notice the picturesque condominiums along the beaches of Singer Island, Juno Beach,  Jupiter Island, all the way north to Stuart.  Many of these…

RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS

 

DON’T GET US DOWN…

Perhaps, “Rainy days and Mondays” got the Carpenters down because they didn’t live in our area!  If the immensely popular brother and sister duo from the 1970’s had chosen South Florida, they might have found plenty of things to do on a rainy day, but they wouldn’t have had that Billboard Top 100 record and their fourth gold single!   

If you’re not familiar with the duo The Carpenters, they were in great demand in the 1970’s.  Richard and Karen created a soft musical style that made them top selling artists when most contemporary music was hard hitting rock and roll.   They recorded 11 albums and television specials. 

Maybe, if they had lived in our area the lyrics of “Rainy days and, Mondays” could…

John Boorman’s Deliverance still proves to be a heart-pounding ride through the spectrum of human emotions.

When four businessmen from Atlanta decide to spend an afternoon canoeing down a river in the Georgia wilderness, they find themselves in an entirely new element. Veteran outdoorsman Lewis, played by Burt Reynolds, and his three inexperienced colleagues, are confronted with an unexpected problem when their peaceful trip is interrupted by a group of backwoods locals.

Nominated for three Academy Awards and widely considered one of the greatest thrillers of all time, Deliverance is celebrating its 40th anniversary at The Lyric Theatre in Stuart. Following the Aug. 16 screening, legendary actor Burt Reynolds will take the stage for a talkback session.

Current temperatures have been in the mid 80’s and the Jupiter area sun has been smiling down on the beach. It has been picture perfect!  The weather is just what the local Chamber of Commerce dreams of for public relations – glistening sun on crystal turquoise blue Atlantic Ocean waves and balmy breezes!  Fun filled days at the beach are endless.  Picnics at the ocean, boating, jet skiing, kite surfing, or a quite read under a coconut palm may never become repetitive.

Well, there are other ways to enjoy the sunshine and stay refreshed. Slip, slide, and splash in one of few local Jupiter area water parks.  

The largest water park in South Florida, just minutes from Jupiter, is The Rapids.  It features 35 slides, a quarter mile lazy river, and a…
