01/28/2026 Scott Sanfilippo

Having stepped onto the sands of Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve several dozen times, I’ve seen this island through every stage of its life. I was there when it first opened in 2019, and I’ve watched it mature from a former industrial site into a thriving marine sanctuary. Over the…

01/14/2026 Scott Sanfilippo

If you're near Port Canaveral this week, you may have to do a double-take. Towering over the terminal is a brand-new Disney ship that looks different from anything else in the fleet.
