She’s like the most enchanting woman you ever knew: both serene and sassy, so beautiful she takes  your breath away.  She’s captivating in the sunshine and sensuous in the glow of the moon.  Like any fascinating woman, she takes her time in sharing her mysteries and secrets.  Every day with her can be a new adventure.

“She,” of course, is the Gulf of Mexico, . . .
