We’d fly in crustaceans from Maine and heat a gigantic pot of water over a burner out in the driveway. In went artichokes, potatoes, corn on the cob, bags of Old Bay seasoning and, of course, the live lobsters.

by Jamie Rich | March 4, 2024 Editor’s Note: Great Expectations It was June 2005 when I stepped on to a sailboat for the first time. My husband Brian and I were in the British Virgin Islands on our honeymoon, and the 36-foot monohull, Great Expectations, would be our home for the next two weeks. No captain, no crew, just the two of us.

Oct 2, 2023 | flamingomag.com | Jamie Rich

The Perfect Amelia Island Getaway Just south of the Florida-Georgia border lies one of those not-so-secret, secret spots, quietly calling you—like a sailor to the sea—to shove off. To navigate its maze of marshlands, to stroll its fossil-strewn beaches, to meander its Main Street and get lost in its lore stretching back more than 400 years. Amelia Island’s origin story is as complex as a John Grisham novel, and perhaps that’s why the famed author built a home there more than 25 years ago.

by Jamie Rich | October 2, 2023 Editor’s Note: Play It Again "Well there’s a feelin’ in the air.” That’s the opening verse to a song called “This Time of Year” by the band Better Than Ezra that’s been playing on a loop in my head throughout the production of this Fall/Winter Explore issue.
