THERAPY-IV Stands Behind Pittsburgh

The country is once again reeling from yet another shooting, this time happening in Pittsburgh. For those that may be unaware, a gunman opened fire at a synagogue called Tree of Life, taking the lives of eleven people and wounding several others. After exchanging gunfire with police, suffering injuries, and eventually surrendering, the gunman was taken into custody. Authorities believe the crime may have been motivated by religious hatred.
Despite verbally expressing his strongly negative opinions of Jewish people, news reports detail that after being injured and being taken to a hospital, the gunman was, in fact, treated by several people who also happened to be of the Jewish faith.
Several South Florida synagogues and organizations of Jewish faith are planning events this week to remember and mourn the victims as well as denounce the massacre that occurred. All of us at THERAPY-IV send our sincerest thoughts and condolences to the victims and families of the Tree of Life shooting.

Halloween in Miami Beach

This week, we once again celebrate Halloween and it’s safe to say Miami Beach is definitely a city that comes to life during this annual celebration. Lincoln Road, in particular, turns into one giant masquerade as people don a series of creative costumes. Let’s explore some of the events going on this week.
Speaking of Lincoln Road, over 45,000 people are expected to be on Miami Beach’s ever-popular promenade and the profusion of bars, restaurants, and cafes will all be great spots to catch a glimpse of what is sure to be an exciting parade of people in different costumes. The Cafe at Books & Books, for example, will be offering a three-course Halloween dinner for $69 with great seating to watch the parade. In keeping with the spooky ambiance, Chotto Matte on Lenox Avenue will be serving certain drinks in a colored test tube.
The examples above barely scratch the surface of what’s in store for anyone visiting Miami Beach for Halloween this year. Have fun!

Dwyane Wade Returns to the Heat

After a long time of waiting to see if he would come back, Dwyane Wade confirmed that he will return to the Miami Heat. He announced that he will be returning for his 16th and final NBA season. Wade spent much of his time during the last couple of months weighing his options whether to retire or come back for one last run. He will have a one year contract for $2.4 million dollars with the Miami Heat. Wade is the Heat leader in points, assists, steals, games played and he has also averaged 22.5 points per game in his career.The Heat signed 19 players for camp and the last spot was reserved for Dwyane Wade, which comes as no surprise considering the impact and history he has had with the Miami Heat franchise.
This season, the Heat will have Wade from the beginning of the season as opposed to last year where he came in mid season from a trade. The plan is to have Wade come off the bench and play 20 to 25 minutes per game. Coach Spoelstra might even have Wade close out games as it’s always been one of his strengths. He could have joined another team but chose not to due to family commitments and wanting to see his son play basketball.

Helping Those Affected by Hurricane Michael

Hurricane Michael ripped through the Florida Panhandle last week, leaving behind a trail of destruction, especially in cities like Mexico Beach. As is the case with any major disaster, recovery efforts are well underway as thousands of people come together to help with providing supplies and food to residents that have been displaced.
Florida Governor Rick Scott has already activated the Florida Disaster Fund to provide assistance to victims of Hurricane Michael but there are other ways you can make a difference. The Red Cross is in critical need of blood donations following the storm. There is also a Hurricane Michael GoFundMe page set up with various campaigns you can donate to. Relief workers, as well as those that have been displaced by the storm, can use an Airbnb map to find hosts that are offering their homes for free.
We will also be doing what we can to help with Hurricane Michael recovery efforts. For every trip sailed on either of the two THERAPY-IV boats, we will be donating a percentage of the trip to the American Red Cross of Florida.

Enhance Your Deep Sea Fishing Experience

With saltwater fishing, there are tips worth keeping in mind that will come in handy for deep sea fishing amateurs as well as those that have years of experience under their belt. Use these the next time you’re heading out on the water.

Get creative with lures. When you’re fishing in saltwater, the visibility isn’t quite as clear as that of freshwater. Hence, you’ll want to use a lure that stands out and will grab the attention of whatever fish it is you’re attempting to catch. This might mean using a bright lure that a fish can easily spot.

Practice patience. Anyone who is experiencing deep sea fishing for the first time will be eager to experience their first catch. It’s worth keeping in mind that the ocean is massive and seemingly endless. If the fish don’t start biting right away, don’t get discouraged. Oftentimes it’ll happen when you least expect it, and the thrill of reeling it in is definitely worth the wait.
Maximize the experience with a deep sea fishing boat charter. By chartering a deep fishing boat, you’re practically guaranteeing yourself an experience that will be unforgettable. The fishing boat captain has years of experience in knowing where the best spots to fish are so you can increase the chances of snagging a catch. The guides also have firsthand experience with the best techniques to improve your fishing.

Reasons to Go Deep Sea Fishing

Have you been considering a deep sea fishing trip? If your goal is to do something out of the ordinary that will bring the family or your friends closer together, deep sea fishing is definitely the way to go. Let’s explore a couple of reasons why you should consider it.
The ocean itself. A typical vacation often involves dealing with long lines and crowded areas. The vast ocean is open to you, your loved ones, your friends, and it’s all about your group. You won’t be sharing the boat with any strangers.
Quality time. Speaking of loved ones, have you ever noticed how everyone often decides to go and do their own thing during a vacation? With a deep sea fishing trip, it’s all about togetherness, enjoying the company of those that are important to you while having lots of fun and catching some big game fish.
Catch your food. Are you a pescetarian or someone that likes the taste of seafood? There is a possibility of catching fish you can actually eat and perhaps even take home. There is a certain sense of pride and satisfaction in knowing that the food you’re consuming also happens to be one that you caught yourself.
