I’ve been to Florida twice, both times for work. The first for a commercial, which we started shooting in and around Miami, mainly at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the former villa and estate of businessman James Deering. So begins my essay for this week’s episode featuring Oxford Exchange in Tampa, Florida, and maritime author, teacher, and lecturer, Robert Macomber.

Enjoy!
