Yamaha Motors celebrates 25 years in the marine industry in the USA and Cannons Marina is invited to the party!
Both David and I are on our way to Japan for the Yamaha Motors 25th anniversary. Our travel time to Tokyo is 17 hours.
We are flying American Airlines and I’m happy to report they serve an awesome green tea. Why is it that domestic flights can’t serve such delicious and healthy beverages? As you probably know by now, green tea is good for you and is anti-aging to boot. Hey American Airlines, can we have a green tea option domestically?
A group of boat and motor dealers throughout the U.S. (and Cannons representing Florida), have been invited to the anniversary celebration and to see their state-of-the-art marine motor manufacturing plant. And in case, you didn’t know, Yamaha Marine Group has received an NMMA® CSI Recognition Award for Excellence in Customer Satisfaction for 2008.
Over the next few days, I will share with you the scenes and celebrations that come as a result of this trip.
We are planning to visit the world famous Nagoya Fish Market, on the waterfront in Shimonoseki . We will report back on the auctions that take place daily. I can tell you that 10 years ago we visited the Tokyo fish market at 4 a.m. watching the coveted blue fin tuna go for about $40, 000.00!
No need to come to Japan to get the tuna, get out on your Scout Boat or Grady-White boat, powered by a Yamaha, and go fishing!

I was born a commercial fisherman's daughter in Cortez, an old fishing village off the west coast of Florida where you can still experience "Old Florida" and get a really good grouper sandwich. I went to school and became an anesthetist, after privileged years of practice, I jumped ship to work in the family business - Cannons Marina. I love my job and the view. I am crazy about my dog. Being out on the water is magical. I still get giddy every time I see a dolphin. Often I brag that I had the opportunity to swim alongside a humpback whale - it was freaky and pretty amazing. Fishing for tarpon and marlin make me happy. My life is no doubt boating, but I also love paddle-boarding cooking and travel.
