lagoon

Our destination is Indian River Lagoon near the Kennedy Space Center on the Central Florida coast with Captain Frank Catino who gives us the low down on the Indian River, the Banana River, and Mosquito Lagoon.  Stretching over 150 miles, anglers can lose themselves in a sea of mangrove shorelines, shallow grass flats, and numerous islands where great numbers of tarpon, redfish, snook, and speckled trout thrive.  

Having fished these waters for 45 years, Frank shares stories of fishing with Lefty Kreh, Yvonne Chenard, and  Roger Waters, how he came to build reels for Orvis and serve as mayor of his town.  We cover the seasons, tarpon and redfish behavior, and stick around to the end for some great tips on surf fishing.

Today we’re headed a bit off the beaten path, to the world’s largest island of Greenland. Though often called the land of ice and snow, in the summer you can find wildflowers, berries, beautiful fjords, and a robust local culture. 

Whether you’re looking to escape the frenzy of cities and popular tourist destinations, have an interest in marine life, or are fascinated by having an authentic experience with Inuit culture - Greenland is for you. 

Our guest today is Colby Brokvist, the lead Expedition Leader for Natural Habitat’s trips in Eastern Greenland. This part of the island is far less visited than the west, and Colby tells us how that makes for amazing natural experiences as well as cultural immersion. 

We chat on everything from Viking escapades, to the food, to some incredible wildlife experiences.

Wir waren in Island und haben dort für euch in unserem Wellness-Lieblingsland einige heiße Quellen besucht. Davon berichten wir euch in dieser Folge. In Island, dem Land von Feuer und Eis, gibt es tendenziell mehr eine Kultur der heißen Quellen und weniger eine Saunakultur wie wir sie aus Europa kennen. Geführte Aufgüsse wird man in Island eher nicht finden (außer ihr trefft zufällig Ingvar, wenn er auf Reisen ist), dafür aber ganz viele tolle heiße Quellen. Es gibt kostenlosen heiße Quellen, zu denen man meistens etwas hinwandern muss und Thermen, die als Hauptattraktion heiße Quellen haben. Dort sitzt man dann im Bikini, Badeanzug oder in der Badehose und entspannt. Pauline zieht außerdem auch gerne eine Mütze auf, weil ihr der Wind oft zu kalt ist, wenn sie in der heißen Quelle sitzt. 

Preislich ist bei heißen Quellen so einiges möglich. Von 7 Euro im Sündhöllin in Reykjavik bis zu 250 Euro in der Retreat Lagoon (einem neuen Teil der Blue Lagoon) ist alles drin. Wir empfehlen euch: Überlegt euch, was euer Budget ist, man wird auch mit den Basic-Paketen in den Thermen glücklich und entspannt. Wer Lust auf Luxus hat, ist in der der Retreat Lagoon - allerdings dann hochpreisig - sehr gut bedient. 

Wir waren für euch folgenden Quellen/Thermen:

Sündhöllin - dem öffentlichen Schwimmband mit Hot Pot in Reykjavik

Fontana - einer wunderschönen heißen Quelle mit Dampfbad und Sauna in Laugavartn mit Blick über einen See

Blue Lagoon - Der Klassiker in Island: eine heiße Quelle, die ihre charakteristische blaue Farbe durch Silikate bekommt; ganz neu gehört jetzt zur Blue Lagoon auch noch die Retreat Lagoon für alle, die es etwas privater und luxuriöser haben wollen; für alle Saunafans gibt es in der Blue Lagoon und der Retreat Lagoon eine Sauna

Sky Lagoon - ganz neu seit Herbst 2021, nur 15 Minuten mit dem Auto  von Reykjavik entfernt mit Infinity Pool und sagenhaftem Blick über den Ozean; mit Sauna, die man aber nur im Zusammenhang mit dem Ritual, das man dazu buchen kann, besuchen kann

Wir finden alle Quellen großartig! 

Unser Tipp: viel Wasser trinken, denn auch in heißen Quellen schwitzt man. Außerdem: bucht euch euren Besuch online  vor allem bei der Blue Lagoon und der Sky Lagoon vor, so seid ihr sicher, dass ihr auch wirklich einen Platz in der heißen Quelle bekommt.

Und so könnt ihr immer schön entspannt bleiben!

Pauline und Ingvar 

Bei „Abenteuer Wellness“ nehmen dich Pauline und Ingvar mit auf eine Reise voller (Ent)spannung. Denn Saunieren ist hipper als du denkst! Ingvar ist Lehrer und Saunameister, Pauline ist Psychologin und Autorin. Zusammen sind sie verheiratet. In ihrem Podcast klären sie auf: Gibt es einen Dresscode in der Sauna? Funktioniert Wellness in allen Ländern gleich? Was ist eigentlich ein Aufguss? In welche Wellness-Oase sollte man unbedingt mal gehen? Welche Verhaltensregeln gibt es in einer Therme? In ihrer Freizeit finden sie den perfekten Ausgleich zum vollen Arbeitsalltag beim Saunieren in Thermen und Wellness-Hotels. Hier berichten sie von ihren Wellness-Städtetrips durch Deutschland und Europa und manchmal sogar die ganze Welt. Und sie verraten dir, wie und wo man am besten Saunieren kann. Andere nennen es Achtsamkeit und Selfcare, Pauline und Ingvar nennen es „Abenteuer Wellness“. Nur in einer Sauna wird eine Sache von allen Menschen akzeptiert: Handy aus, Digital Detox an! Denn Saunieren ist Fitness für Körper und Geist. Saunieren ist ein Lebensgefühl und kann schnell süchtig machen und zum Lifestyle werden. Und so ist das Motto von Ingvar und Pauline: Immer schön entspannt bleiben! Homepage: www.abenteuerwellness.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abenteuer.wellness

We're in the mood for creepy monsters and attractive wet people. Hopefully this sci-fi classic is both scary and scintillating.

Eric Munoz is a former board member of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon; president from 2006-2011; volunteer of the year 2012; and then rejoined the Board as fellow director from 2013-2017. He is the author of Caulerpa Conquest.

Eric has twenty-five years of public and private sector planning experience. From 1988 to 2005 he worked for the Carlsbad Planning Department, which included being the staff liaison between the City and the Southern California Caulerpa Action Team 2000 to 2005.  He then was the Director of Planning with Hofman Planning and Engineering, a position he has held since 2005. And most recently he is the Chief Development Officer of the Palm Springs Surf Club. 

About the Novel, Caulerpa Conquest: Rarely have global battles in the war on invasive species been successful. Even tougher is fighting a mutant genetic clone of a natural counterpart on a marine coast. The first known Western Hemisphere detection of the invasive seaweed Caulerpa taxifolia occurred in Southern California, at San Diego County's Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad. Caulerpa Conquest is the true story of 2000 to 2006 precedent-setting local eradication effort inspired by missed opportunities and lessons learned from the Mediterranean Sea. City staff planner, designated agency liaison, lagoon foundation president, and agent for continued creative outreach through 2015, Eric Noel Muñoz connects the dots from local lagoon waters to foreign coastlines, including Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, France, and Monaco.
