Colleen Bonner of CENTURY 21 BE3

Personal Profile

I grew up in Sea Bright, New Jersey on a Barrier Island three miles long and a smile wide . The Sea was my playground with the Atlantic Ocean as my front yard and, the Shrewsbury River as my backyard. Sea Bright is where I learned how to sail, surf, fish, and enjoyed crabbing and clamming..yes I'm an original clammer! My last year of high school was spent with my sister in Hawaii where I then went to college on Oahu, working for Barber's Point Naval Base in Ewa Beach as a lifeguard, swimming instructor and coach for the swim team to pay for my tuition.. The base unfortunately is closed now. Next I traveled to New Zealand and backpacked for 3 months and hiked the world famous 'Milford Sound Trek' a 37 mile hike that was awesome, I highly recommend it,! My next adventure was Australia where I landed a job in Airlie Beach, Queensland on the Great Barrier Reef as a dive instructor, I sailed for a week through the Whitsunday Passage and stayed for two years, definitely a must to do if you venture to Australia. This trip prompted me to become a professional photographer. I have also traveled to Germany, Bavaria and Switzerland enjoying the hiking trails, tiptoed thru the tulips in Holland and explored the sights of Amsterdam. My lifelong ties with the Sea and my photography business took me to the Bahama's, Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean. I enjoyed lobster diving in the Key's. I also enjoy racing sailboats, fishing, cooking, gardening, snow skiing, working out and exploring new areas. During this time I also owned a windsurfing shop on Dunedin Causeway, 'Causeway Surf 'n Sail' I have lived in Pinellas County for 35 years, have two grown children that are Florida Crackers and a grandson who is a firecracker.
