This magical place was discovered by Spanish explorers, lost for decades, and then rediscovered. Thus the name Perdido (the Spanish word for “lost”) is appropriate for many reasons: lost childhoods, paradise lost and being lost in love. The remote waterways of Perdido Bay and the sparkling white sands of Perdido Key are the backdrop for these heart-warming and often hilarious stories of growing up on the beach; swimming, fishing, sailing and water skiing; learning about love; facing the perils of death; but mostly cherishing the bonds and dreams of being a family.

Join Crevalle and his goofy, self-serving fellow journalists as they fight to survive a hairpin turn around every corner. Read it chapter by chapter, webisode by webisode, here on Fred's Head.
